Lyrics

[00:00.000] 作曲 : Devonte Hynes
[00:01.000] 作词 : Devonte Hynes
[00:05.054] We received our bloody circles in the mail
[00:15.835] Only see what's really important when it's nailed
[00:26.976] As a teen, my Lord and savior was a male
[00:37.671] Tire trucks and six steel strings that keep me frail
[00:48.759] It's the worst I've ever felt when it hails
[00:59.276] Broken teeth and bloody nose but least it snowed
[01:10.124] Instantly tried, oh, I cried and cut a line
[01:21.016] And my eyebrow acted like the boys who tell
[01:32.009] And my teacher told me that this made her sad
[01:42.789] Had to act just like the others to get around
[01:53.494] Friday nights alone in heaven with my board
[02:02.989]
[02:04.061] Like, growing up I have always heard or like, I was always hyperaware of
[02:07.916] The things that the people around me who were charged with my care
[02:11.645] Or told me, like, be silent or be quiet
[02:14.631] Or be ashamed or hide
[02:16.718] Or perform a version of myself that wasn't really me
[02:20.211] And so, I think that through my life I've always been hyperconscious
[02:24.214] And aware of not going into spaces and seeking too much attention
[02:28.969] Um, because part of survival is, like, being able to just fit in
[02:34.187] To be seen as normal and to, like, quote-unquote belong
[02:37.001] But I think that so often in society in order to belong means
[02:41.979] that we have to, like, shrink parts of ourselves
