Tom Boy Lyrics

From where I stand, I can see
They've got the upper hand of me
Reminds me of this world at last
Simply changes much to fast for me

And when they call out, will I hear them?
And when they fall out, will I see them?

This yellow light on the crowd
And colors way to loud to see
Reveal their drive, we could change it
Try to rearrange it

They call me a Tom Boy and I let them
'Cause only a Tom Boy could forget them
And simply change it

They call me a Tom Boy and I love it
'Cause only a Tom Boy could stand above it
By simply changing

Cover art for Tom Boy lyrics by Bettie Serveert

I think it's about gender roles. Mousy women never make it to the top, yet a "tomboy" is able to rise above because she acts more "manly" (or how society thinks men should act).
