I’ve heard of the band and was aware that their lead singer transitioned, but I’ve never listened to them. The thing that jumps out here immediately is the anger in the lyrics, the threat to “piss on the walls of your house” and “chop rings off your fat-fucking fingers”. But the most powerful lines arguably come at the very end; “All the young graves filled, Don't the best all burn out So bright and so fast?”, probably a reference to the very high rates of suicide among young transgender people. This song really pucks a punch (musically as well as lyrically) and moved up and up the list each time I listened. I now wanna go around yelling about pissing on people's walls in a burst of fist-pumping cathartic rage. Really happy to have been introduced to this, and will be investigating more by them.
