Splendor Dysphoria
Embracing Diversity: Splendor and Identity in SuperKnova's Melody
Lyrics
I am soft and
I embody gentleness and
Crude and I can
crudeness, I possess
Be me or he or she
The ability to exist as myself (me), as a male (he), as a female (she), or as a non-binary person (they)
or they
or any combination of these
A girl can dream
A girl has aspirations and
and he can be
a boy can embody
pretty and mean
beauty and fierceness
Ha Ah Ah
Expressing laughter or joy through vocalizations
Ha Ah Ah!
-Ha Ah Ah
-Ha Ah Ah!
-And I don’t wanna hate you today
Expressing a desire not to feel hatred on this day
I just wanna live my ways
Expressing a desire to live authentically
I know I’m gonna pay
Acknowledging a potential cost to authenticity
but you can’t have me, any other way
Asserting the refusal to be had in any way other than one's authentic self
I bleed, I cry
Describing personal experiences of pain and sorrow
You leave, and I die
Highlighting the impact of someone leaving
Just like You when
Comparing the emotional state to someone else's during sleep
You sleep at night
-A boy can dream
Similarly, a boy has dreams and
and she can be
a girl can embody
a glittery queen
being a glamorous ruler
Ha Ah Ah
Expressing laughter or joy through vocalizations
Ha Ah Ah!
-Ha Ah Ah
-Ha Ah Ah!
-And I don’t wanna hate you today
Reiterating the desire not to feel hatred on this day
I just wanna live my ways
Reiterating the desire to live authentically
I know I’m gonna pay
Acknowledging a potential cost to authenticity
but you can’t have me, any other way
Asserting the refusal to be had in any way other than one's authentic self
Ha Ah Ah
Expressing laughter or joy through vocalizations
Ha Ah Ah!
-Ha Ah Ah
-Ha Ah Ah!
