Virile means “having strength, energy, and a strong sex drive (typically used of a man).” This song discusses the pressure that boys feel to be overly masculine.
[Verse 1]
On the long hike through
Blue Ridge Mountains
I can feel the earth
Overtake my skin
And I realize none
Of this matters
'Cause I will return
To dust and matter
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Cheers to the patriarchs
And the marble arch
Playin' the part
The gatekeeper's march
[Chorus]
Desperate for passing grades
The virility fades
You've got the wrong guy
You wanna slip right in
Amp up the masculine
You've got the wrong idea, son
Dear son
You pick our own prisons, ah
[Verse 2]
To stake dominion over all that one surveys
Is the virile, viral way
[Pre-Chorus 2]
To thе boys
And the noise
Playin' the part
Thе gatekeeper's march
[Chorus]
Desperate for passing grades
The virility fades
You've got the wrong guy
You'll wanna slip right in
Amp up the masculine
You've got the wrong guy
Too much is not enough
Too much is not enough
You've got the wrong idea, son
Dear, son
You pick your own prisons, ah
[Bridge]
You want dominion to make minions of the stars
Made up of what you are, are, are, are, are, are
You are, are, are, are, are, are
Ooo, yeah
[Chorus]
Desperate for passing grades
The virility fades
You've got the wrong guy
You'll wanna slip right in
Amp up the masculine
You've got the wrong idea, son
