okay ik i made a comment on here a week ago but i wanna talk about what i think the meaning is
its in the POV of a targeted minority the government doesnt like. (Or someone who sees that.. like most punks anyway) i feel like being a transgender in todays time kinda aligns with this song in a way.... may be a reach but hear me out
"I'm not anti-society, society is anti-me" theres been a shift within society now where trans people arent as accepted
"I'm not anti-religion, religion is anti-me" how being trans is a sin, wayyy back in the day some priest started saying how transsexualism is a sin n shit
"I'm not anti-anything, I just want to be free" how trans people are portrayed as hateful to the right, or stereotypes about 'em. that they just wanna live
"Use self-expression, lose your freedom" how the second you transition people won't like you as well, how the govt will kinda fuck u over ngl (like rn trans people arent allowed in the military)
"I'm not anti, anti's anti-me
I'm not anti-government, government's anti-me
I'm not anti-politics, politics is anti-me
I'm not anti-anything, I just want to be free" this part i feel is just how theres laws restricting being trans, anti trans propaganda, etc etc
this probably wasnt mikes intention, i feel like it was left vague for a reason. thanks 4 reading
