This is a demo version of the song listed I assume; where it says "shield your eyes and never touch me" in the completed version of the song the line was changed to "shield your eyes and touch your body". |

@frenchtoast777: He refers to the person he's talking about's brother, and the brother of this person's crying for their disappearance/possible suicide, but he never calls the person themselves "brother". That's incorrect. Gay men also don't wish they were women. That's not how it works. Any other reference to this person's gender is based on the person Conor knew them as; which would be a closeted MTF transsexual that never lived to come out as a woman. |

All you people calling the cousin gay are idiots. This sounds like the cousin was TRANSGENDER, male-to-female, ashamed of the comfort that he (she) feels when she is in her femme mode. I also think this because a lot of transgender people end up having drug addictions and killing themselves because the world doesn't understand how horrible it feels. |

After really listening and paying attention, I feel for a few songs from White Crosses that I can hear lyrics about Laura's feelings as a transgender person. This song in particular has me thinking of it.
"What God doesn't give to you," meaning that she was not born with "the right gears" so to speak, and that in order to fix it she has to take care of it on her own instead of nature. I feel like the second verse especially may relate to this a lot too? I could be entirely wrong about the song, but that's my take of it. |

I could be wrong but everytime I hear this song it comes off as "I know know something in myself died" and not "that" :S |

this song makes me think of gender identity; whoever telling the story in this song is biologically female, but they are mentally a male and don't get to always do the boy things that they want. |

I agree with the comments about change in general, but the words make me think of a transgender person.
"Mother misses her baby, but I only wanted to be me" - the person's parents (or friends/family in general) miss them as their original identity, but the person can't help it because they want to be happy with their new transformation.
"She changed address and haircuts and boyfriends and lightbulbs, it's easy" - how a person can feel that it's okay to change so many things about yourself and how you live, but somehow their change is unacceptable to society. |
