Dress My Skin and Become What I'm Supposed To
Embracing Pain: Unveiling the Depths of Self-Discovery in Wallis Bird's Anthem
Lyrics
You don't know shit
You lack knowledge or understanding
Ain't it better not to know it
Questioning whether ignorance is preferable
You don't know shit
Reiteration of the lack of knowledge
Ain't it better not to know it
Repeating the question of whether ignorance is better
Paralyzed and bruised
Feeling unable to move, emotionally or physically hurt
I dress my skin and become
Using clothing metaphorically to conform to expectations
What I'm supposed to calculated wounds
Becoming what society expects with deliberate emotional wounds
Just enough that I feel what I'm supposed to
Inflicting enough pain to feel the expected emotions
You don't know shit
Reiteration of the lack of knowledge
Is it better not to know it
Questioning whether ignorance is preferable
If you don't know shit
Reiteration of the lack of knowledge
Ain't it better not to know it
Repeating the question of whether ignorance is better
Paralyzed and bruised
Feeling unable to move, emotionally or physically hurt
Dress my skin and become what I'm supposed to
Metaphorically conforming to expectations through dressing
Calculated wounds
Deliberate emotional wounds to meet societal expectations
Just enough that I feel what I'm supposed to
Inflicting enough pain to feel the expected emotions
Calculated wounds
Deliberate emotional wounds for conformity
Just enough that I come when I'm supposed to
Inflicting enough pain to meet expectations promptly
Calculated wounds, ooh ooh
Repeating the idea of intentional emotional wounds
