  • Lyrics:
    All dressed up and nowhere to go,
    Walking the streets all alone.
    Another night to wish you could forget,
    Making yourself up as you go along.
    Who's gonna take you home tonight?
    Who's gonna take you home?
    Does god bless your transsexual heart, True Trans Soul Rebel?
    Yet to be born or already dead
    You sleep with a gun beside you in bed.
    You follow it through to the obvious end:
    Slit your veins wide open,
    You bleed it out.
    You should've been a mother,
    You should've been a wife.
    You should've been gone from here years ago,
    You should be living a different life.

    As a ftm. The "You should have been a mother, you should have been a wife" part really gets me.

    I feel like you can really resonate with this song no matter what kind of trans person you are. MTF or trans-femme? You should've been a mother. You should've been a wife. You were supposed to be a woman but something went wrong while you were still developing in the womb. FTM, trans-masc, or just AFAB in general? You should've been a mother. You should've been a wife. You should've just been _normal_

    My girlfriend came out as trans and all I thought was, "well now instead of a cute boyfriend I have a cute girlfriend."
    Anyways I don't know how tf am I supposed to tell her I'm a (very closeted) trans guy😐
    Edit: I came out to her and it went really well😁
    Edit 2:she broke up with me.. not because I'm trans but damn.

    Even as a non binary person I still relate to this. I won't be a mother or a wife, rather an adoptive parent and a husband (probably). I'm still working on my pronouns and titles but that's not the point. When I first heard this I identified as a straight woman and this song was just something nice to listen to, but now it has so much more meaning. God I love this song -and I hope God loves me-

    To all the bitches and pricks who hate me,
    Yet to be born, already on the dead inside,
    I'm trapped inside some I don't know,
    And I can't take the pain, so I cut it away,
    Follow it through to the very next day,
    I slit my wrists right open,
    Make it go away,
    I'm not who I'm meant to be,
    See myself in the mirror and I look away,
    Its not easy, to hate yourself everyday,
    Others who rejected you, make me feel insane,
    I just wanted to be me, I didn't ask for this,
    To be someone else,
    This is the life of a Transgender,
    Look mamma I'm sorry,
    You thought I was your daughter,
    Dressed me up like a barbie doll,
    Made me who I wasn't,
    When I tried to be myself, I just made you yell,
    You hated me for who I was and now I don't know what to do,
    I needed help, I need you,
    Can't you see I'm you're son? Why won't you love me!
    Now someone tell me what I should do,
    Have no money, no job, no friends, family or life,
    I don't sleep because of my dream of being myself the waking up and hating who I see,
    This girl who looks at me, I punch the mirror, break the glass,
    But I still know I'm trapped inside her,
    Someone save me,
    Death is all I see,
    Don't know why I'm trying,
    When really I'm dying,
    Transgender not easy,
    Help someone please,
    Let me just be me and let me be free.
    Should have been your Brother, son, farther and husband,
    But life fucked me over, I'm not who I'm meant to be!
    -TRISTAN
