The song portrays the internal struggle of someone trapped by societal expectations, feeling like a puppet controlled by external forces. The lyrics reflect the frustration of being forced to live as someone they're not, with their true identity suppressed. As the song progresses, the individual grapples with their lack of control, but towards the end, there's a shift towards, as if recognizing the chaos and betrayal they’ve faced. I wanted the song to symbolize the journey of reclaiming one's true self, particularly in the context of being trans, as the singer begins to break free and find their authentic voice.
