| Against Me! – So Much More Lyrics | 8 years ago |
|
I'm not asking for your acceptance I'm not waiting for you to understand........ So much more than your complete devotion So much more than you could ever give to me clearly she was fucking depressed as hell...seems like she really didn't give a shit about anything else that was going on because her thoughts were consuming her despite her best efforts to ignore them |

| Against Me! – ProVision L-3 Lyrics | 8 years ago |
| this song is obviously about the ProVision body scanners at the airports and how much of an invasion of privacy they are | |
| Against Me! – Delicate, Petite, and Other Things I'll Never Be Lyrics | 8 years ago |
| in an interview one time, Laura was talking about how this song was describing the frustration she had with passing and how much she just didn't bother or care about it anymore, even though it still caused mental and emotional pain. | |
| Against Me! – This Is Control Lyrics | 8 years ago |
|
"The truth in my hands, that I am not sick, I don't live in sin, that this is all wrong, the reality prison, dreams of human liberation. Lifestyle choices, never in struggle? Short sighted goals, this is not freedom, this is control! another one to add to the list of "songs dealing with dysphoria". to be honest, this one seems more angry and hopeless to me. |

| Against Me! – Occult Enemies Lyrics | 8 years ago |
|
"my soul feels invaded like, i was robbed like I was cheated" "I'm not taking moral high ground, you think time isn't your enemy as well?" definitely about gender dysphoria, self loathing, and self hatred. especially "time being an enemy" that makes it way more obvious |

| Against Me! – Unprotected Sex with Multiple Partners Lyrics | 8 years ago |
| to me this song is; every verse talking about how people called them sellouts, and the chorus (according to what Laura said in some interview) is "i don't even care about all this selling out bullshit right now, do you wanna know what i'm really thinking about and how it really feels on the inside?" | |
| Against Me! – Black Me Out Lyrics | 8 years ago |
| In her book, she mentions the first time she played the song with the band (Dec 31 2011, Atlanta, GA) saying, "It was a farewell song. This was the night I said goodbye to Thomas James Gabel." | |
| Against Me! – Lost and Searching in America Lyrics | 8 years ago |
|
"If I could change all that I have become If I could take all the anger and the hate And just give it right back to where it came from" "I have lost it all and I will find again All of my reason is strictly intuitive Let this expletive be taken as self definition Am I getting through to you?" this song was always sad to me, but after reading through Laura's book, feeling the self hate.. this song got a lot sadder.. |
|
| Against Me! – Dead Rats Lyrics | 8 years ago |
| this is definitely about Laura and Heather's relationship falling apart. (especially "it was a nice dream/ but it was a naive fucking fantasy") Laura talks about it in the last chapter of her book. there's even lines from the book that parallel this song; "felt like our marriage was burning up with them, like we were smoking it down to the last match" and "it was an optimistic lie, there was nothing left to save" | |
