Lyrics
Everybody always seems to wanna know
Expressing curiosity about the speaker's romantic interests
What gender I'm falling for
Questioning the speaker's preferred gender in relationships
Boys or girls?
Highlighting the binary expectation of attraction to boys or girls
All I've ever tried to do is fill the void
Desire to fill an emotional void, influenced by Freudian theory
Theory by Sigmund Freud
Reference to Sigmund Freud's theories on human psychology
Get us heard
Seeking recognition and acknowledgment
Move your body
Encouraging movement and self-expression
Like you are somebody
Urging to move confidently, regardless of societal judgments
And let them believe the fantasy
Embracing fantasies and allowing others to believe in them
Because what they don't know,
Emphasizing the power of secrecy in protecting oneself
Cannot hurt them, oh no
Reassurance that ignorance cannot cause harm
Set your body free
Encouraging liberation and self-expression
("I think he's gay")
External voices speculating about the speaker's sexual orientation
("Do you think he's gay?")
-("He's gay")
-What they say
Addressing rumors and judgments about the speaker
What they're saying about me
Highlighting the impact of public opinion on identity
Doesn't make me less of a man
Rejecting societal norms that question masculinity based on sexuality
Very gay, very gay, very frightening
Asserting a proud and confident identity as "very gay"
People are scared of what they don't understand
Addressing societal fear and misunderstanding of homosexuality
Everybody always seems to wanna know
Reiteration of the speaker's struggle to navigate societal expectations
What gender I'm falling for
-Boys or girls?
-All I ever tried to do is fill the void
-Break the necessary code
-In this world
-Move your body
Encouraging self-expression and liberation through movement
Like you are somebody
-And let them believe the fantasy
-Because what they don't know
-Cannot hurt them, oh no
-Set your body free
-("I think he's gay")
Repetition of external voices speculating about the speaker
("Do you think he's gay?")
-("He's gay")
-What they say
Emphasizing that judgment doesn't diminish the speaker's masculinity
What they're saying about me
-Doesn't make me less of a man
-Very gay, very gay, very frightening
Reinforcing societal fear and lack of understanding
People are scared of what they don't understand
-Good boys don't kiss and tell
Challenging stereotypes about good and bad behavior
They don't
-But we're all going to hell, anyway
-Bad boys don't play for keeps
Defying societal expectations regarding sexual restraint
If so, ain't no one keeping their clothes on today
-What they say
Reiteration of the impact of public opinion on the speaker's identity
What they're saying about me
-Doesn't make me less of a man
-Very gay, very gay, very frightening
-People are scared of what they don't understand
-What they say
-What they're saying about me
-Doesn't make me less of a man
-Very gay, very gay, very frightening
-People are scared of what they don't understand
