According to their Tumblr, the song is based on photographer Claude Cahun’s autobiography “Disavowals or Cancelled Confessions”, where they say “Masculine? Feminine? It depends on the situation. Neuter is the only gender that always suits me.”
I’ve spent thirty years of my life wishing things to be other than they are
Like the blind faith of our parents, we honor deadlines like habits
I can change by discarding appearance and keeping only one card
The he and she of me will win it, cause they’re the only one who gets it
I want to change skin, tear the old one from me
Leaving my body to the imaginary
With new positions I can make contact with this image
A new truth and a new mindset, and thе ability to change it
The lie of this rеality is only getting older
So create a more real order. I believe I deserve better
I want to change skin, tear the old one from me
Leaving my body to the imaginary
