This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
All dressed up and nowhere to go
Walking the streets all alone
Another night to wish that you could forget
Making yourself up as you go along
Who's gonna take you home tonight?
Who's gonna take you home?
Who's gonna take you home tonight?
Who's gonna take you home?
Does God bless your transsexual heart?
True trans soul rebel
Yet to be born, you're already dead
You sleep with a gun beside you in bed
Follow it through to the obvious end
Slit your veins wide open, you bleed it out
Who's gonna take you home tonight?
Who's gonna take you home?
Who's gonna take you home tonight?
Who's gonna take you home?
Does God bless your transsexual heart?
True trans soul rebel
You should have been a mother
You should have been a wife
You should have been gone from here years ago
You should be living a different life
Who's gonna take you home tonight?
Who's gonna take you home?
Who's gonna take you home tonight?
Who's gonna take you home? Who's gonna take you home tonight? Who's gonna take you home?
Does God bless your transsexual heart?

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
This song can never ever get old... Seriously, it can't, unless I am unable to find them in my desperate and exhausting search, its only one of two (transgender dysphoria blues being number two) explicitly trans songs from even remotely mainstream that we trans can take some refuge in.
I know not your sorrow, but I know mine...<br /> <br /> Hang in there, be strong (I'm sure you are, but just a reminder)<br /> And yes I agree, this is a great song :D

Laura's pain comes through so clearly in this song, and it's making me cry at the office. Oh goodness, this makes me think of some of the most horrible lows in my life and transition, and it's so sad.
Laura Jane is a true trans soul rebel... what Against Me! has created over the course their career is very special, put all their albums together and you have an epic story of turmoil, regret, alienation, redemption... all through outsider perspective... who's more of an outsider than a street punk kid from Florida?... and this record may be the crown jewel of their career. In addition to being another great chapter added to the story, it's a mark in history regarding acceptance of modernized gender identity and expression in modern society. Pinhead Gunpowder had a guitar player years ago who later came out as trans, but unfortunately she died of a genetic disease before making a mark. Laura Jane stands relatively alone in the rock community as a trans person, and... take what I say with a grain of salt, because I'm a cis white male... she's probably a hell of a damn great representative.
Chuck Ragan is often thought of as the East Coast's resident badass punk rocker, but despite all the fish he's caught and houses he's built over the years, nobody approaches the level of badass that Laura Jane has shown the world... not just in recent times in the face of transitioning, but all her life.
My admiration for Laura Jane, and for the rest of this band, is immeasurable.
@Tig45 couldnt have said it better myself!!????????
The catchy upbeat music makes these lyrics particularly empowering... Laura Jane Grace is my fucking hero.

I get the true-trans (Laura is transgender) and the rebel (punk rock) but what is the soul ?
It's okay as a song but it really bugs me that she doesn't seem to even bother to try to sing at a higher pitch. If you're a professional musician who take pride in your craft, you should put some effort into it. This just sounds like a man singing. Then again, punk has always disrespected virtuosity.
@amanda1020 so you logged in on songmeanings.com just to be transphobic. idk why you thought it was ok to tell a musician with a 20+years career how she should sound. there is no one way for a woman to sound, even cis women have deep voices, so your comment is totally uncalled for. also wtf does it have to do with virtuosity.
@amanda1020 Buddy, I know it's been a year now, but fuck I hope you've grown away from this train of thought. Her singing in a higher tone specifically to pass for your sake is ridiculous. Idk if your trans or nonbinary yourself, given the comment, I hope not -- because if so, that's some internalized transphobia right there; but this just ain't it.
@amanda1020 I am indeed trans and do have internalised transphobia to a considerable degree. However, that isn't all that's going on. It's also about punk. I've seen a lot of almost deliberate flakiness in political activism and community projects which I believe stems from a lack of respect for virtuosity and skill which basically means the establishment can walk all over alternative society with no effective opposition. This is why I'm so angry with punk as a genre. It's led to an organised establishment being effectively unopposed by anything progressive.
I do not enjoy having the voice of a potential rapist and it's nothing to celebrate.
