Going Homo
Embracing Identity: The Journey of Going Homo by The Dickies
Lyrics
i can't find a dame
I am unable to find a female companion
they're always the same
Females I encounter are consistently similar
i'm going to shame my family name
I am going to bring shame to my family name
'cause i'm going homo
Expressing a decision to embrace a homosexual orientation
i always used to flirt
In the past, I used to engage in playful romantic behavior
my feelings got hurt
I experienced emotional pain from romantic pursuits
now i'm going out with kurt
Now, I am romantically involved with someone named Kurt
'cause i'm going homo
Reiterating the decision to adopt a homosexual lifestyle
i'm going homo what could i do
Confirming the commitment to a homosexual orientation
i wouldn't give me aids if i were you
Cautioning against contracting AIDS
going homo is the way to be when you're turning
Asserting that adopting a homosexual identity is the preferred way of being
going homo today
Emphasizing the present decision to embrace homosexuality
with my eyes in my pocket
Metaphorically describing a self-reflective state
my nose on the ground
Feeling downcast and rejected by others
people put me down
Experiencing criticism due to the choice of a homosexual lifestyle
'cause i'm going homo
Reiterating the decision to go homo despite societal disapproval
i can't relate
Expressing difficulty in connecting with others
i am what i ate
Identifying with a non-mainstream lifestyle
my lifestyle's alternate
Describing an alternative lifestyle as a choice
'cause i'm going homo
Reaffirming the commitment to a homosexual identity
i'm going homo
Repeating the declaration of going homo
what could i do
Expressing resignation or acceptance of the situation
i wanna talk about it on donahue
Desiring to discuss the topic on a talk show like Donahue
i'm going all the way to miami
Planning to travel to Miami, possibly for a new start
going homo today
Affirming the commitment to a homosexual lifestyle
all of the questions i don't want to ask
Expressing reluctance to ask certain questions
why did god make men with nipples - nipples on a man
Raising a rhetorical question about the purpose of male nipples
all of the girls i know they're butterballs
Commenting on the physical appearance of the girls known
they're all the same from the waist down
Noting physical similarities among females
when they're wearing their gowns
Highlighting the physical uniformity when wearing gowns
i'm wise
Claiming to possess wisdom and honesty
i'm through with telling lies
Committing to truthfulness and embracing a homosexual lifestyle
hanging out with guys
Choosing to associate with male friends
i'm going homo
Reaffirming the decision to go homo
and i'm still here
Stating that despite the decision, one remains present and unchanged
i'm parking in the rear
Parking in the rear, a possible metaphor for embracing a different perspective
all the girls are shedding tears
Indicating emotional distress among females due to the decision to go homo
'cause i'm going homo
Reiterating the commitment to a homosexual identity
i'm going homo
Repeating the declaration of going homo
what could i say
Expressing a lack of words or justification for the decision
we're living in babylon today
Commenting on the contemporary state of society
i'm going all the way to miami
Planning to travel to Miami, reiterating the decision to go homo
goin' homo today
Affirming the present commitment to a homosexual lifestyle
