The lyrics to these songs are so devastating in hindsight. I remember listening to these lyrics without even a hint of what it was about. For me it just captured the angst of being disabled--but that's how music works. It connects with you where you're at. Little would I know my identity would be captured in the songs I was screaming as a kid so many years later. I'm not exactly trans, but I'm definitely queer in a lot of ways that took forever to accept and understand, and I didn't have any real social pushback like a lot of people do. I cannot imagine what Laura was going through, and how out in the open she was begging for help.
Music is powerful. The meanings i gave songs as a teen reflected my angst, as a 28 year old i view them with a whole different context just due to the experiences ive had throughout life. Its definitely bittersweet at times
Every day has a beginning and ending Just like every life has a start and finish July is gone Like the gasoline it took To make the circle again 🏳️🌈Florida to 🏴☠️Florida, by the way of 🇺🇸America
As a young person, these songs helped shape how I look at life and now as a much older person these songs help me recontextualize what my life is as I go through things like divorce, having children etc.
This is also my favorite EP. I've seen them 10 times or so and never heard the title track played live. I don't know if they play it. Against Me will always be my favorite band.

I'm launching a business in agriculture that is oriented to changing the industry in some way. Sometimes frustrating. Many parallels. I've always felt so herd and vindicated by Laura.
