Him or Her
Choices Unveiled: A Poignant Tale of Life's Crossroads
Lyrics
It has been two years now, since I
Reflecting on two years since making a significant decision.
Said goodbye to the little thing inside
Expressing farewell to a part of oneself, possibly symbolic.
It has been some time now, since I
Noting the passage of time since a regrettable action.
Killed someone who could have been alive
Acknowledging the impact of a choice involving ending a life.
And have my eyes
Listing body parts and characteristics, portraying a shared identity.
Have my nose
-Half of me, somebody's choice
-Have my smile
-Have my voice
-Half of me, my own choice
-It could have been a him or a her
Expressing regret and the unknown potential of a life lost.
We will never even know
-Cause I killed that little one
-It could have been a him or a her
-We will never even know
-Cause I killed that little one
-A him or a her
Repetition emphasizing the ambiguity of the unborn child's gender.
A him or a her
-A him or a her
-A him or a her
Further emphasizing the uncertainty about the child's identity.
A him or a her
-I am glad that I had the chance
Expressing relief for having a choice in the matter.
Somewhere else it would be a mans
Comparing the situation to the perspective of a man, asserting uniqueness.
No man can ever do the same
-They won't understand
Highlighting a lack of understanding from men about the experience.
The way I did
Claiming that only women can truly comprehend the emotions and choices made.
The way I can
-Only women, will understand
-The way I did
-The way I can
-Only women, will understand
Reiterating the exclusivity of understanding to women.
It could have been a him or a her
Repeating the regret over the unknown potential of the lost life.
We will never even know
-Cause I killed that little one
-I´ll say it out loud in this world
Expressing the willingness to openly speak about the experience in the name of freedom.
In the name of freedom speech
-I am glad that I can speak
-A him or a her
Repetition emphasizing the indeterminate gender of the unborn child.
A him or a her
-A him or a her
-A him or a her
