My Conviction
Embrace Freedom: Unveiling the Meaning Behind 'My Conviction'
Lyrics
I wish every mother and father in this theatre
I hope all parents in the theater hear my message
Would go home tonight
Encouraging parents to reflect on the message at home
And make a speech to their teenagers and say
Suggesting parents talk to their teenagers
"Kids, be free
Expressing the idea of freedom for kids
No guilt, be whoever you are
Encouraging lack of guilt and authenticity
Do whatever you want to do
Advocating for pursuing personal desires
Just so long as you don't hurt anybody"
As long as it doesn't harm others
Right?
Seeking agreement or confirmation
Right!
Affirmative response to the previous statement
I would just like to say that it is my conviction
Expressing a personal belief or principle
That longer hair and other flamboyant affectations
Longer hair and flamboyant style are his conviction
Of appearance are nothing more
Claiming such appearances are just a transition
Than the male's emergence from his drab camouflage
Describing longer hair as a male's emergence
Into the gaudy plumage
Comparing flamboyant style to colorful plumage
Which is the birthright of his sex
Considering flamboyance as a male's birthright
There is a peculiar notion that elegant plumage
Challenging the notion that fine feathers are improper for men
And fine feathers are not proper for the man
Highlighting the belief in the appropriateness of elegance
When a-ctually
Contradicting the peculiar notion about men's appearance
That is the way things are
Asserting that elegant plumage is the norm in many species
In most species
Stating the natural order of appearance in most species
