about

This song is specifically about coming to terms with being trans.
The line 'Never met a monster quite like this' was inspired by the fact that my brain both had this overwhelming desire to express itself as female, and an immobilising fear of doing so and what that would mean.
At one point I couldn't do anything but see the humour in the situation and laugh at the mess I'd gotten myself into.

lyrics

I’ve slept on the desert floor
Felt the bombs knocking at my door
But I’ve never met a monster quite like this

There’s blood stained across my lips
Biting pieces off to make them fit
Two pairs of boots, which ones do I pick


Is there something wrong with me?
Some kind of kick?
Is there something else that I might have missed?
Cos I’ve never met a monster quite like this


Black Spiders crawling up my skin
Soft whisper calling ‘let me in’
She’s got a voice I can’t resist

Dark roots of a twisted vine
They’re wrapped up around my spine
Can’t pull them out without breaking mine


Is there something wrong with me?
Some kind of kick?
Is there something else that I might have missed?
Cos I’ve never met a monster quite like this


Now I’m standing here looking at you
I can’t tell who it is pulling who
Suffocating on burning the truth
This shadow won’t die

Is there something wrong with me?
Some kind of kick?
Is there something else that I might have missed?
Cos I’ve never met a monster quite like this

Is there something wrong with me?
Some kind of kick?
Cos I’ve never met a monster quite like this
QUITE LIKE…
