I love that there is a song now that captures that very distinct feeling of wanting to peel your skin off so that people will stop looking at you like you’re prey
Growing up I always refused to wear makeup and I always wore clothing that was more masculine in order to be as repulsive as possible to men. I would forgo hair brushing and personal hygiene frequently to keep up this appearance. It’s so sad how far I went in making myself disgusting so I wasn’t the subject of unwanted attention. That I even felt like I had to do that as a kid, looking back is so messed up. This song perfectly captures my thought behind why I did that.
Very much the same for me when I was a kid. I learned at an early age that hopefully if I just didn't look appealing to them I wouldn't be a victim again. I did my very best to dress, act and look like a boy and just be invisible. This song has me sobbing because of not only the song but also this comment. Knowing in a heartbreaking way that I wasn't alone.
I'm so sorry, none of us deserve this, and the the inner violence that gets created from the fear and anger these actual villains create is so overwhelming sometimes, we are more than this and we are more than what these sick men see
It's sad that this song is so relatable. I and so many women know exactly what that feels like because we have felt it. We feel it all the time. This is the first song I have heard that gives it such an accurate portrayal. Thank you for giving voice to that feeling.
sofia, i love watching your music evolve. it's truly incredible the way you have matured from rainbow rocket ride to unattractive- it just keeps getting better and better. i'm so excited to see where you decide to go next (also, this song is heart-wrenching and relatable and everything awful and you put my feelings into words, so for that i thank you)
i can not get over this song damn girl you're saying the things i feel everyday I've been waiting for the full version for long time and let me tell you, you didn't disappoint us
Hey, I know yu won’t answer, but I wanted to say I was at the Melanie concert yesterday and you were an opener for her. The date was June 11th 2024, your performance blew my sister and I out of our seats. We loved how amazing you did, and I’m so happy I got to see you before you get super big!
that's so perfect. I've never heard anything better in my life. Nothing that more reveal my deep deep fillings with such an incredible precision. I wish i wrote this. Thank you.
I got to see you live at Melanie's concert last Friday and it was such a surreal experience! Your music gave me such a horror filled beautiful feeling, I loved the eerie vibes you put on stage. Your music though has such a strong meaning to it too, and I feel so special to say that I saw you perform in person!
Not my usual style, but I had been struggling to tell people why I got so jealous of young Furiosa when she pulled out of her own hair and rubbed grease on her face. This gets it
Sofia, this song just encapsulates such strong emotions and ideas, and being women in modern day society means we have to hide ourselves and make ourselves unattractive to avoid undesired disgusting attention by men hwo have no respect. You are truly so talented and amazing at expressing thoughts that can be hard to put into words. Thank you so much for making such awesome music and I'm excited to see you June 3rd!
Is there a word for this? For me (not speaking for everyone) it's a coping mechanism trying to protect myself. So I'm wondering if there is a psychological term for this (trying to look unattractive to men)
