Description:

i actually started writing this one by sitting out in a field somewhere, which is a pretty good way to get inspiration imo! i do believe the lyrics speak for themselves, to me, they’re about actual laws holding the queer community down – it’s kind of inspired by LGBTQ+ content being banned for minors where i live.

as for the music part, i don’t usually do more than just acoustic recordings, so i’m just happy that i managed to put it together! it could definitely use more takes and all, buuuuuuuut mentall illness and other reasons!

this was my submission for the Fedivision 2024.

Lyrics:

another time when you will rhyme some outrageous lines
won’t go past me, you’ve failed to be getting with the times
this con’s fusing, cause it’s confusing for us on the streets
enough with lies, we’re breaking ties, get out of our sheets.

i’m sliding down the slippery slope of being who i am
hope it’s cause for dismay in those Danubian men
(just being who i am)

don’t start behaving today
together we can maybe still keep having our way
don’t let them control your fate
if you’d hate to have to keep living under this state
i’ve got some news
you’re not alone
i’m a criminal, i might as well go all out

sure hope that the fire cannot spread against your hate
fired windows, the way the wind owes me a faithful fate.
we’ll take over the lake corner, don’t sell ourselves short
if we’re sure, meet at the shore on the public trans port.

they say i might go to hell every time i show my face
you’d know if you knew where i’m from – hell can’t be worse than this place
it is a disgrace!

don’t start behaving today
together we can maybe still keep having our way
don’t let them control your fate
if you’d hate to have to keep living under this state
i’ve got some news
you’re not alone
i’m a criminal, i might as well go all out

fuck all they stand for this day
our pride is our strength, not something that gets in our way
don’t let them smash our own goals
we’re bricks and we can break through a million stone walls
a new diet
it’s a riot
we’re criminals, we might as well go all out
