Help Me I'm Gay
Navigating Identity: A Cry for Acceptance in 'Help Me I'm Gay' by Lambrini Girls
Lyrics
Help me I'm gay
Expressing a plea for assistance or understanding due to being gay.
Yet everything I do is for the male gaze
Acknowledging that all actions are influenced by the desire to be attractive to men.
Pray for my soul
Seeking support or intervention through prayer for the challenges faced as a gay individual.
Because everything about me is apparently a spectacle
Highlighting the perception that every aspect of the person is seen as noteworthy or unusual.
Gay
Reiteration of being gay, emphasizing the plea for help.
Gay
Repetition for emphasis, reinforcing the identity as gay.
Help me I'm gay
Reaffirming the plea for assistance due to being gay.
Gay
Emphasizing the gay identity, seeking understanding or aid.
Hey mum, why haven't I had a boyfriend?
Posing a question to the mother about the absence of a boyfriend, implying a potential lesbian identity.
Maybe it's because I'm potentially a lesbian
Suggesting a possible reason for not having a boyfriend by considering the possibility of being a lesbian.
Dad, why don't I date men like you?
Asking the father why the preference in dating is not like his; dismissing Freud's theories on daddy issues.
Because Freud was wide off the mark with my daddy issues
Rejecting the idea that dating preferences are influenced by Freudian daddy issues.
Help me I'm gay
Repeating the plea for help due to being gay.
Yet every guy I know just assumes that I'm straight
Expressing frustration that others assume heterosexuality despite being gay.
Pray for my soul
Reiterating the request for prayer for the challenges faced as a gay individual.
Because everything about me is apparently a spectacle
Restating the perception that every aspect of the person is seen as remarkable or different.
Gay
Reemphasizing the gay identity, seeking understanding or support.
Gay
Repetition for emphasis, reinforcing the identity as gay.
Help me I'm gay
Reaffirming the plea for assistance due to being gay.
Gay
Emphasizing the gay identity, seeking understanding or aid.
