Big Trouble
Unveiling Inner Fury: Be Your Own Pet's Anthem of Resistance
Lyrics
When I was younger
Reflecting on the speaker's younger years
I would kick and scream
Describing past behavior of kicking and screaming
The girl always fighting
Reference to the speaker as a girl always ready to fight
I'd be the one to make a scene
The speaker used to create scenes and attract attention
They ask, why so angry
Others questioning the speaker's anger despite her pretty face
When you've got such a pretty face?
Questioning the speaker's need to speak out
Won't you just shut up?
Encouragement to be silent and conform
When you gonna learn your place?
Suggesting the need to learn one's societal place
It's not, it's not, it's not in my head
Denying that the anger is imaginary or in the speaker's head
Just 'cause you don't see, no, you don't see
Highlighting the invisibility of the speaker's struggles to others
I can't let it go, can't let it go
Expressing difficulty in letting go of the anger
It's too hard for me
Emphasizing the intensity of the emotional burden
Yes, I'm still angry
Confirming that the speaker is still angry
Oh, like you can't see
Sarcasm, implying the obviousness of the speaker's anger
I try to explain it
Expressing frustration at not being heard or understood
But you never listen to me
Highlighting the lack of listening from others
You say, just relax
Advice to relax and avoid causing a scene
Calm down, don't make a scene
Rejecting the suggestion to be silent, embracing emotional expression
No, you're never gonna shut me up
Asserting the speaker's refusal to be silenced
Emotional as I wanna be
Claiming the right to be as emotional as desired
It's not, it's not, it's not in my head
Reiteration that the struggles are not imaginary
Just 'cause you don't see, no, you don't see
Emphasizing the invisibility of the speaker's challenges to others
I can't let it go, can't let it go
Continued difficulty in letting go of the anger
It's too hard for me
Reiterating the emotional burden's intensity
And it's not, it's not, it's not just one fight
Stating that the struggles are not limited to a single fight
It's been my whole life, my whole life
Indicating that the challenges have been persistent throughout life
It's not, it's not, it's not in my head
Reiteration that the struggles are not imaginary
Just 'cause you don't see
Highlighting the invisibility of the speaker's challenges
It's not, it's not, it's not in my head
Reiteration that the struggles are not imaginary
Just 'cause you don't see, no, you don't see
Emphasizing the invisibility of the speaker's challenges
I can't let it go, can't let it go
Continued difficulty in letting go of the anger
It's too hard for me
Reiterating the emotional burden's intensity
It's not, it's not, it's not just one fight
Stating that the struggles are not limited to a single fight
It's been my whole life, my whole life
Indicating that the challenges have been persistent throughout life
It's not, it's not, it's not in my head
Reiteration that the struggles are not imaginary
Just 'cause you don't see
Highlighting the invisibility of the speaker's challenges
I want wages for housework
Expressing desire for fair compensation for domestic work
I want childcare for free
Expressing the desire for free childcare services
I want on demand abortions
Expressing the desire for easily accessible abortions
Full body autonomy
Demanding autonomy over one's body
I want equal pay
Calling for equal pay between genders
I want true equity
Desiring true equity in various aspects of life
And when I tell you
Asserting the speaker's right to be believed when expressing desires
I want you to believe
Reiterating the importance of believing the speaker's desires
