I live in a city full of people I don't know
People riding highways
From the workplace to the home
I raise my head
I see they're different than us
But I only wanna hold your hand
My whole damn life!
I can picture a place
Where everybody feels it too
Ooh ooh ooh, it might be fiction
But I see it ahead
There's nothing I wouldn't do
There's nothing I wouldn't do
Cut me a slice
Of the apple that I grow
My work is valid
I can't prove it but I know
A woman screams
She's looking for meaning
Behind a man who made her cry
Her whole damn life!
I can picture a place
Where everybody feels it too
Ooh ooh ooh, it might be fiction
But I see it ahead
There's nothing I wouldn't do
There's nothing I wouldn't do
Utopia
Like a hunter with teeth
There's nothing I wouldn't do
Ooh ooh ooh, I'm running through a fountain of dirt
There's nothing I wouldn't do
There's nothing I wouldn't do
People riding highways
From the workplace to the home
I raise my head
I see they're different than us
But I only wanna hold your hand
My whole damn life!
Where everybody feels it too
Ooh ooh ooh, it might be fiction
But I see it ahead
There's nothing I wouldn't do
There's nothing I wouldn't do
Of the apple that I grow
My work is valid
I can't prove it but I know
A woman screams
She's looking for meaning
Behind a man who made her cry
Her whole damn life!
Where everybody feels it too
Ooh ooh ooh, it might be fiction
But I see it ahead
There's nothing I wouldn't do
There's nothing I wouldn't do
There's nothing I wouldn't do
Ooh ooh ooh, I'm running through a fountain of dirt
There's nothing I wouldn't do
There's nothing I wouldn't do

When I see these lines: "I see they're different than us / But I only wanna hold your hand" I think this song is about being queer and having the Utopia of living in a world where everyone is queer as well. I only just discovered Austra and absolutely love it - I am myself also queer, so not sure if there is just something particular in the music that then resonates with me more; I usually listen to the melody first and only later on start reading the lyrics.
