| IAMX – My Secret Friend Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
to me, the song seems almost to be about gender dysphoria; mostly because of how the music video looked: you have a man, who is feeling confusion and wants to be with this female figure whom he only has contact with through desperate touches and whispers through a barrier. 'You have loved/You were not alone/You have braved the weather/When the storm cut you to the bone/There was always shelter'- this person has faced scorn for their secret, but still hold strong and find comfort in the thought of what could be. 'My secret friend I'll take you to the river My secret friend We can swim forever' - someday, they will be able to turn into this person that they wants so badly to be, and be able to do it without scorn. 'In your skin To die a little death This time there's no code word When everyday frays in hollow ends Dream sweet love submersive' -everyday that they have to live in a body that feels wrong to them, they die a little, and they can't escape it as it slowly eats away at them. i dunno, this is just my take on the song. |
