Trans-Related Songs/songs That You Identify With

Recently realized that certain lines of Madonna's "Live to Tell" really reminded me of myself, this bit in particular:

"If I ran away, I'd never have the strength

To go very far

How could they hear the beating of my heart

Will it grow cold

Also, Smashing Pumpkin's "Mayonaise". The entire song, honestly.

I love that song :blush: Possibly my favourite Madonna song.

Also, I tend to read similar meanings in "Frozen" sometimes. I suspect Madonna(and ex-hubby Sean Penn for that matter) are very supportive of our plight.

I like to imagine "Venus as a Boy" by Bjork in a trans-sense.

Also, George Michael has a string of deep, heartfelt songs that would connect with anyone that has been in the closet I think.

I love that song, too, and you're right about the lyrics.

There have been similar posts, including one in which I talked about the lyrics to the Beatles' "Oh Blah Di, Oh Bla Da."

Doesn't matter if if the topic has come up before; many do. But lots of folks will see the topic for the first time and

there will be different responses. It's all good. :)

Not specifically trans related although they could be read that way, but lyrics that really meant something to me many years ago

Chakra - Home

Don't run away

Your world is safe tonight

There is a reason for your troubled mind

There is a truth you need to find

Not trans related, could be read that way I guess, but I really identify with them

FM Static - "Take Me As I Am"

Ha, glad to see no one got mad at me for it.

I'll definitely be looking into that Coyote Grace when I'm on a computer with sound (hopefully later tonight)

I never even THOUGHT of Frozen though, that makes a lot of sense heh. Yeah, I'm a closet-Madonna fan. I blame my girlfriend.

"Perfectly Flawed" by Otep, not neccesarily Trans, but has a lot to do with finding yourself and surviving long enough to find it....

...."its the same doubt

the same dream

its the same sabotage

cause im the enemy"...

I was surprised this one was missed so far, so here it is.

Susan Vega - 99.9f (the whole album), highly recommended. I bought it years ago in 1992 when it first came out for the title track, but wow do these lyrics in this album hit home now.

Enjoy,

Eminem- Beautiful

i happened to be listenin to my zune before i went to sleep last night and that song came on. its always been a song ive played when i was sorta down, but last night i listened to it in a new sense, and it could totally identify as a trans-related song.

okay, lately this one has been hittin a cord with me. one of those soft cords that shouldnt be hit cause guys dont cry lol.

Its meant as a romantic kinda love song, but it can definitely be interpreted as a trans related song.

oh right now im loving the heck out of mr rogers by korn. Not the lyrics themselves but the overall feeling of anger and despair. Dunno :/

This one seems appropriate:

Green Day

Boulevard of Broken Dreams

Basically the entire song, though this part is very specific:

I'm walking down the line

That divides me somewhere in my mind

On the border line

Of the edge and where I walk alone

Just look at the cover:

I found another one which seems fitting:

Bon Jovi - Bells of Freedom

Basically this song is about doing what you feel is the right thing, no matter what others tell you...

"I was lost, on my knees

On the eve of defeat

As i choked back the tears

There's a silent scream no-one could hear

And this one, too (No worries, it will the last one...)

Bon Jovi - Complicated

And this song is about not judging people by the outside, alone.

Yes, JBJ is definitely the king of lyrics ^_^

"True Colors" by Phil Collins. It's a really great song sung by a great singer! (I think it was originally done by someone else, Cyndi Lauper I think).

While happiness has many different definitions, it is often described as involving positive emotions and life satisfaction. Britannica   Happiness | Definition, Nature, Psychology, & Facts | Britannica Mar 13, 2024 — happiness, in psychology, a state of emotional well-being that a person experiences either in a narrow sense, when good things happen in a specific moment, or more broadly, as a positive evaluation of one's life and accomplishments overall—that is, subjective well-being. Happiness can be distinguished both from negative emotions (such as sadness, fear, and anger) and also from other positive emotions (such as affection, excitement, and interest).

The American Psychological Association (APA) defines happiness as “an emotion of joy, gladness, satisfaction, and well-being.” Many of us would agree with the APA's definition, yet the more you look at it, the more it can seem incomplete. For example, you may feel all of those emotions at one moment, but an hour later you may feel none of them. So are you a happy person or not? en.wikipedia.org   Happiness - Wikipedia Happiness is a positive and pleasant emotion, ranging from contentment to intense joy. Moments of happiness may be triggered by positive life experiences or thoughts, but sometimes it may arise from no obvious cause.

      Welcome to the forums, M.A. Duh . . . more questions came up for me,too--but I'm finding they don't have to be solved all at once. One thing at a time as I ask for help works for me. Keep coming back.  —Davie

      Good news is that I have nothing serious going on. The blood was coming from internal hemorrhoids, and the doctor says it's from the "typical American diet." Too much fat and carbs but not enough plant based fiber. A few other things were noted and biopsies on them for safety sake.    Hospital visit was grand with "most" of the staff addressing me as female. I did have "bra talk" with one of the CNA's. Even my discharged papers use my preferred name on them (Birdie).   So basically, adding more fiber to my diet will eliminate my internal hemorrhoids as well as lower my risk for cancer.

      For that part, be glad you live in MS and not in CA or some other "paradise."    Unfortunately, right now in the USA it is about choices.  Choose to live in a mostly free state that doesn't want my gender to exist, or choose to live in a leftist place that accepts my gender but not my family or my faith, or how I want to live my life or the stuff I own.   As for the lawsuits... hiring a lawyer costs money.  And a "no fees unless you win" attorney probably won't take a case like this, as it is difficult to get money from folks who often don't have anything.  As they say, "it is hard to get blood from a turnip."

      There's a couple of things.  First, since so many LGBTQ+ folks often vote Democrat, it is simply assumed that "LGBTQ = Democrat."  And to many, Democrat = enemy.  The fact that some of us don't vote for Democrats comes as a surprise to many.  You wouldn't believe how many different times I have had to explain how I vote, that I don't like Biden, etc...   And then, there's the flamboyant, over-the-top appearance and behavior of some.  When average folks see strange dress, wild colors, and the occasional provocative behavior in the news, they assume that it is the norm and that all LGBTQ+ folks are like that.  To them, "LGBTQ = weird."    I think that @Abigail Genevieve is right, part of it is lousy marketing.  And that will take a ton of undoing, because it has been going on for years.
