Lyrics
I'm not a person, and I want to be
I feel disconnected from being a human and desire to become one.
Loved not for self but ability
I want to be loved not for who I am but for my abilities or accomplishments.
My competition mouth and glittering eye
My competition is fierce, characterized by verbal prowess and a captivating gaze.
Go to the rider who ends my wild, naked life
I yearn for a partner who can tame and control my untamed and carefree existence.
I'm just a body to share and gait to shape,
I see myself as a mere physical entity to be shared, with a particular way of walking to be perfected.
And there's so much earth to dominate
There is a vast world to conquer and dominate.
They say, girl, give over the animal
Society urges me to relinquish my wild nature and conform to the expectations of men.
To little men with the wherewithal
Yield to men of means who can take control.
That they might brush my hair and steal each gnat
They should attend to my grooming and handle every small detail with care.
And with my tail tie a tourniquet
They could use my tail for practical purposes like creating a tourniquet.
Or bind me in a button braid
Envisioning being bound or controlled in a decorative manner.
And leave me soaking on my hay
A willingness to endure vulnerability or discomfort.
I think I'd do well as property
Considering the idea of being someone's possession or property.
I ache to serve men in pageantry
Desiring to serve men in a ceremonial or ostentatious way.
I'm a showpiece. I prance, I preen
Viewing oneself as a captivating display, exhibiting confidence and elegance.
I'm sharp, I'm soft, I'm hard, I bite
Describing multifaceted characteristics—sharpness, softness, hardness, and a tendency to bite.
I'm warm and unrelenting. These are things
Being warm and unyielding, acknowledging qualities appreciated by men.
Men like. And me, I just like things
Expressing a personal affinity for material things or desires.
So take thee hoof, take thee tooth and thigh
Offering body parts metaphorically, while expecting material possessions in return.
I'll take hand, purse, and ribbons to fly
Willing to accept gifts, but emphasizing the importance of high standards in the giver.
Don't think I'd mind to be well-heeled once shod
Indicating a willingness to conform to societal norms as long as it comes with certain luxuries.
Long as the heel is high and the rider God
Expressing a preference for a powerful or god-like figure as a partner.
