speech is taken and locked away for-seemingly-ever ('spoken detention'). Literal: being closeted is not being able to express due to societal pressures and sometimes even actual laws. "that why im leavin the spoken detention" Symbolic: despite our desire to change the world, we have to go with the day-to-day machine, just to stay alive/afloat, and it feels foreign. this face i put on outside, closeted, feels like it's not mine, it's like looking into the mirror and seeing an unfamiliar face ("borrowed mirror").
Literal: and to live this life i have to put on this face. Symbolic: we as a collective have so much empathy and desire to change the world (title of song is "WORLD sick"), but it gets labeled as bullshit, trivial, aimless Literal: our flaming passion is hindered by society and considered a disorder ('cripple') "we got a mine field of cripple affection" look back at the previous lines non-literally: so he decided to embrace his lifestyle (romance some dicks) and come out (confess that, "I get world sick when I take a stand ("I'm tired of this bullshit.") i get world sick my love is for my man ("because damn it, i'm gay and i shouldn't have to hide that").īut that line also acts a connection. "and I romanced some dicks so that I could confess that i get world sick every time i try to take a stand"Įvery time he stands up, every moment of every day, he feels sick with the world and his place within it. "my love is for my man" and "and I romanced some dicks so that I could confess that" suggest that the literal narrative follows a gay man's frustrations (though technically any lover who feels emotionally-oppressed in some way) as he describes through the song why he wants to come out. Song MeaningOriginally had this wonderful breakdown, a couple key lines explained and broken down.but i accidentally hit back and it didn't let me go forward again ugh.
