Trans-Related Songs/songs That You Identify With

[Guest Micah_dt]

It's not trans related but one that I can relate to is Edit Me by Twin Atlantic

"It's dynamite when you bridge just how you think to how you live

They say it comes with age, we can prove them wrong

Cos you know it's not right, you can feel it in the words they say

They think they're the right ones

You can't edit me"

It could practically have been written for me!

Just Close Your Eyes by Waterproof Blonde while it may not be intended to be trans-related if you read the lyrics it can definitley be interpreted as such. it's definitley worth a read of the lyrics or a listen.

While it may not have anything to do with trans-related, it does deal with unwanted time we used. I relate to it in many ways. Crosby, Stills, and Nash sang, "Wasted On The Way" which is I relate to the most right now. Here's some of the lyrics that make me cry but in a good way. lol

Look around me, I can see my life before me

Running rings around the way, it used to be
I am older now; I have more than what I wanted
But I wish that I had started, long before I did

So true, I wish I began my journey much sooner but I am older now and I can accept these beautiful changes with maturity.

Yes! I definitely questioned every answer and I envied the dancers when I had no nerve of my own. And yet, I must go for what I want now. The final line reminds me of all of you wonderful people on here who transitioned or are transitioning and how happy you are. Everyone deserves their own happiness and I am fortunate to have found a community who knows how to help me on my journey. I suggest to listen to "Wasted On The Way" by Crosby, Stills, and Nash. It's amazing.

I won't post any lyrics of it here or anything, but "Lost" by Within Temptation has been resonating a lot with me since I actually began paying attention to the lyrics. I'm quite positive it doesn't have anything to do with trans issues, but it resonates nonetheless.

One I identify with for my coming out or acceptance of myself when it comes to that subject would be:

I Want To Break Free by Queen

[Guest April Kristie]

Neko Case sings I'm a man she's a GG and the dichotomy of a female voice singin this song speaks volumes of gender dysphoria;


I'm a man
That's what you raised me to be
I'm not an identity crisis
This was planned

One more that strikes a chord in my heart, Ray Davies of the Knks wrote I'm not like everybody else, and it's like a rock anthem

I won't take all that they hand me down
And make out a smile, though I wear a frown
And I won't take it all lying down
'Cause once I get started I go to town

Neko Case a GG sings in her very recent song I'm a Man, the juxtaposition of a female singing this is very trans related to me;

I'm a man

That's what you raised me to be

I'm not an identity crisis

This was planned

[Guest April Kristie]

One more just for fun! The kinks sing I'm not like everybody else, though I dug the Creep reference earlier!

And I don't want to ball about like everybody else

And I don't want to live my life like everybody else

And I won't say that I feel fine like everybody else

'Cause I'm not like everybody else

[Guest Guitargodess214]

Crawling by Linkin Park is a song that may not have been intended as trans-related but it definitley resonates with me.
