this song makes me cry, which is a good thing. Bottled up feelings of being a closeted trans person, being stuck as a dude when you should be a girl... it's no fun folks
+The Nekomancer Just know you have a bunch of people who don't even know you support and respect your gender, sis.
+stevie ashton "be a man about it" Fuck _off_ with that nonsense.
+The Nekomancer if you ever need someone to talk to you can always reach out to me. Trans pride =^^=
You are loved. There is a community out there for you.
The Nekomancer Well, I'm a straight male but I'm here because I know what pain is. Be yourself, ok?
I came out as transgender to my whole family today. And I was accepted by them. This is such an important day for me and I feel like listening to Against Me! is fitting for such an occasion.
Update 2021 August 2nd: legally changed my documents in my home country Lithuania (changed my name, surname, sex marker to male aligning ones)!! I've been fighting for this for YEARS, I'm so happy I finally did it!! 🎉🎉🎉
I know this comment is coming months after you posted yours, but, even as a stranger, I'm so happy for you! I'm also overjoyed about your family being accepting. That's huge. One of my good friends was flat out rejected by her family and hasn't talked to them since. She's legitimately one of the most caring, wonderful, amazing people I know and it breaks my heart.
I hope you and your (awesome and open-minded) family are doing well!
@@MsFuzzipoo Thank you so much, Emily. Ever since I came out to them, it has been a slow progress towards real understanding. Sometimes it gets hard for all of us, but we are all doing our best because we care about each other too much. We just can't let something like this get between us!
But still, I was truly scared to tell them. I know they love me, but even so, I just couldn't know what their reaction would be. I actually expected my mom to reject me or even throw me out. I didn't worry about my dad so much because we're really close, so I told him first, and later everyone else. So I think I'm lucky that they're all so open-minded and understanding. I was totally preparing for a worst case scenario! :'D
And again, thank you so much for your support and kind words. It means a lot, even if we're strangers.
congratulations! it took my parents a long time to come around, but it was worth every second of waiting to finally feel accepted by them now. true trans soul rebels
@@jackson-zo8pt Yes, it's definitely worth waiting for. I'm so glad your parents accept you as you are! True trans soul rebels :D
happy pride month! i hope you're doing well ✨
Although this is one of my favorites of theirs now, I hated this album when it was first released. I took it as a personal insult for some reason. I tried to make it about the music, how it just didn't mesh -- but it was about the message, it was about Laura's transition, it was about political correctness. I was scared to confront what I had always known was true, that I too was transgender. I could relate to every single lyric on this album and I absolutely hated Laura for making me confront that. I was in such hyper-denial mode at the time, and couldn't handle it. I gay/trans bashed not only myself but those that were just like me. I look back on that now, as an out-and-about trans woman, and I can't help but feel the oddest mixture of shame, regret, and laughter. LJG is an inspiration, a heroine, and a true trans soul rebel, and I'll love her forever for how much she's done for not only myself, but all of us. TTSR
internalized transphobia and self loathing is so horribly destructive.LJG has helped me face so much in a short time recently....
I feel you so much. I still haven't overcome the trauma of repressing being trans and people denying not taking me seriously when I needed help the most. I still can't go to pride events and seeing people being happy and open about their identify still makes me feel a little bitter. But I'm slowly overcoming this and one day I will be openly trans without shame and guilt.
Proud of you.
The great thing is a lot of her peers, fellow artists, accepted her. I'm sure some thought the way you did though. I saw Against Me live twice, they were so damn good.
I was 13 when I first heard this; mostly closeted trans kid struggling with all sorts of issues. this song helped me a lot. I thought I understood the line "how would you even recognize me?" back then, I thought it was simply about changing appearances. But now, at 17 and almost two years through HRT, I realize that it's more about if a person still recognizes you as their friend, family member, lover, etc. Sure, I've been asked who I was by people I used to know, but what really stings is when those who say "oh okay cool, yeah I support you, this doesn't change anything" end up drifting further and further away. They feel like they can't relate to me anymore because they only recognize me as the "trans friend" and not "friend who has more to him than being trans". I think this line is about those around you thinking you're changing as a person because your appearance is changing. Stay alive everyone.
Being trans and young hurts when I first because my social transition at 14 I have support only from those who didn't really know me. I understand the pain you feel my trans brother.
im out as trans female
to my mom and bro
my mom is trying to convince me to not transition
telling me its nonsense
but deep down
I KNOW who I AM
I AM A GIRL
thank you lauren jane grace
i look up to you
Be true to yourself and do what you need to do. Hope you're doing well, and I hope you have a happy life.
You go girl!
Trans pride
Feel this soo much, my dad and brother are trying so hard to convince me im a man and I'm making it up in my head.. they still call me by my birth name unfortunately 😕
Do whatever the fuck you feel, it is ok to be true to yourself
be true to yourself! and i hope everythings going well now and you're now being accepted.
yo, to any trans person seeing this, closeted or out, its awful for you right now because of all the anti-trans bills and laws, but we support you. you deserve to be happy with who you truly are. you absolutely do not deserve what the right wing is putting you through right now. As a cis person, I absolutely support you, and I'm so sorry for what some other cis people are putting you through. You have a ton of support, but it's 100,000% okay to be scared and worried, I am too. Good will prevail in the end :)
This is by far the most touching and personal music video I've ever seen.
I finally started living my life in full time girl mode about a month ago. (I was a slow roller, transition was hidden from most for a while) After my first week i heard this song and just had tears of uncontrollable emotions. All the work, pain, sacrifice, waiting, loss, humiliation, envy, and the like just kinda sorta let go. I took a look back and saw how drastically my life had changed already and started weaping. instead of fighting it i just let it flow out of me, crying so hard I was screaming but nothing was coming out. It was that one line "how would you even recognize me" that did it. When it was over i found myself having a new kind of strength and confidence about who I am.
you'll get there sweetie, just one foot infront of the other and do the next step you feel you should do.
Jamie S Good on ya!
*****
I'm sxe, i haven't touched alcohol or drugs in a long time. i don't smoke either. as for working out... yeah thats a bit harder for me. caffine... i need it. i think estrodial makes me fatigued. i was talking to this cis girl who was on it at one point and she said that it made her really tired. so maybe thats why.
***** I am 6 months in to my transition, 5 months full time. The first thing I did was change my diet and start exercising. I exercise at least 5 hours a week on a strict 1500 calorie diet. I quit smoking and severely cut back on drinking. The smoking is the biggest thing. I already have a good A cup going and I've lost 75 pounds. You are right, that it takes work. It takes a lot of work to transition.
I should probably put more effort into my diet... but i don't... i pass pretty well though. Having D cups really helps. gah i love my boobs everyday.
man, i love that smirk at 2:04. i think it makes the line less despairing and more a subtle jab at the "you" laura is talking about, like she loves the fact that she's unrecognizable to people in her past. also, i'd totally love a behind-the-scenes for this video
when i was in high school and it was 3am I used to blast transgender dysphoria blues and stare at my against me! posters and say to myself if Laura can come out to the fucking world and then I can come out as trans to just my friends and family. That was 4 years ago, my parents didn't accept me and still don't but it's people like Laura Jane Grace who are reason why I'm still alive today. This band means the world to me and I really want to thank them for everything
I'm not sure why this is labeled as a "lyric video." This is far beyond the style of the lyric video trend we are seeing. This is just an awesome music video that works the lyrics in wonderfully.
I think this style of lyric video is far more creative than the usual kind that looks like they were made in Windows Movie Maker.
+
CliveTheStaples the dollyrots do similar lyric videos. if you get a chance look up get weird or stupidly in love by the dollyrots and you'll see what I mean. :)
because is focused on lyrics?
I noticed around the time of this video, there were more bands starting to do more creative lyric videos like this. It reminds me of the “lyric video” for Girl Crush (I think it’s the band perry??) they were kinda getting more like real videos but still simple and usually not showing the actual band members in them.
I love this song.
I love this girl.
I love trans girls.
I love trans boys.
I love cis people who supports trans people.
I agree, I'm glad there is people out there that support them. It can be crushingly lonely.
when she smiles during "how would you even recognize me"... trans feels
"Is your mother proud of your eyelashes?" I understand that line in a way that I couldn't explain to a cis person in 1,000 years
This song and video have got me crying...
I'm a half-closeted AMAB femme enby, in that all my friends know but my family don't. This past month I've been living with friends (one of whom is a trans guy) who have respected my pronouns and used my new name and it has been wonderful. But due to my financial situation under covid i will be moving into my gran's place in a few days.
I love my grandparents to pieces, they are so lovely and supportive, but I know I am not ready to tell them yet, I know they wouldn't understand, and I know that even tho they would try to understand, it will hurt for them to try and change the habits of 24 years... so in a few days, I will be stepping back into that fucking closet, until I have the guts to tell the people who mean the most to me who I really am
Thank fuck I have Against Me! to help me along my journey, I love them so much
No one should live in the shadows of its true self! I'm proud and suportive of all the people who make the tough decision to come out and embrace who they really are! Mad respect and love for all of you and to the ones who are struggling.
I came out recently. It's been so underwhelming how little people seem to care. (More in a good way). I thought I was gonna have to fight tooth and nail, but everyone has been nice and accommodating :)
I have "all things made to be destroyed " tattooed on my left shoulder blade which my ex who passed away had tattooed in the same spot. Before he died, he had me get "all moments meant to pass" on my right shoulder. So together our backs read the main lyrics. On the 26th of September he will have been dead 4 years now. Heartbreaking.
This is fantastic.
I came out around the time that this song was released. Being a trans teenager in the 2010s was torture, something I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy. But, here I am 7 years on hormones and hormone blockers, 3 months post-op, about to be married to a straight man who loves me for the woman I am. Every day I woke up and wished I wasn't born in my body, tried everything I could to be seen for me. As cliche as it sounds, it does get better. I'm so glad to see how far the trans movement has gone just in the past few years. Right now is probably the safest, most comfortable, most accepting time to be trans there ever has been in human history. Don't let the media fool you, there will always be hateful people in the world, but I think its safe to say they are now the shrinking minority, at least in America. The resources that trans people have today I would have killed for back in the day. Transition sucks, its awkward, painful, confusing, and lonely. But once you get past your final hurdles, whatever they may be, and can finally just live your life as yourself... there's no better euphoria.
I understand that this is about being trans and the difficulties and struggles that come along with it, and overcoming it. I just wanted to say that so my next comment didn't sound like I was down playing the actual song meaning and album. I'm straight and whatever the politically correct? Term is for it, cis-gender? I love 'Against Me!' They are hands down my favorite band. When Laura came out I was wondering how the music would change and if I'd still be able to relate to it and enjoy it as I did. I'll still say that the old folk-punk sound, Florida local feel was by far my favorite era of the band, however, this would honestly have to be one of my favorite songs by them, and maybe even my favorite album. My love for Against Me! And/or Laura has not changed a single bit. I love this like I am sure I will love the future direction of the band. I'm happy that trans people have this, among other things, more and more, it's being brought to the spotlight and mainstream. This album is very important for that. To me though, and I'm sure I may speak for most straight & cisgender fans, the reason I can still relate to this, enjoy it and love it is because in the grand scheme of things, this song and most of the album is about change. It's about being at war with yourself and overcoming those demons. Though not trans or having problems relating to that, I've still got a bunch of issues and have been 'against myself' for a long time. Everyone has their own war to fight and in generalities, that is why I love this. The time has come for change and this song is so beautiful because of that. Against Me! Changed my life, I love you guys and gals. You change lives, thank you for that. Please never stop doing what you do.
OMGThePeSt a year late on the reply, yet you summed up my feelings exactly. Thx!
lyrics:
The ease of your pose, the grace of your silhouette
The way that your shoulders meet your slender neck
Where would we be without all the distance?
You know I'm already just a skeleton
I don't have the heart to match the one pricked into your finger
Of things made to be destroyed
All moments meant to pass
Don't wanna live without teeth
Don't wanna die without bite
I never wanna say that I regret it
Never wanna say that we grew apart
And never wanna say that the feelings changed
I don't have the heart to match the one pricked into your finger
Of things made to be destroyed
All moments meant to pass
Chipped nail polish and a barbed wire dress
Is your mother proud of your eyelashes,
Silicone chest, and collagen lips?
How would you even recognize me?
I don't have the heart to match the one pricked into your finger
Of things made to be destroyed
All moments meant to pass
I don't have the heart to match the one pricked into your finger
No more troubled sleep, there's a brave new world that's raging inside of me
I don't have the heart to match the one pricked into your finger
This, too, will soon slip out of reach
This, too, will soon come to an end
One of my favourite video clips. I absolutely love the attention to details, like the pills being Spiro, Estrace and progesterone, all hormones frequently used for trans women
My transgender friends are all awesome people with more metaphorical balls then me.
*Than
What an awesome band. The lyrics are powerful and the rythmics catchy. And, you know... They make me feel like I live in a better world and i'm like : sometimes you need a hug, and sometimes you need punk.
Simply fantastic album.
Song is song from Jane's soul. Remember it's not what you look like, what you think, who you may or not be, It's about Who You Are! Embrace it Live with it and Enjoy life as it is given to you. We all bleed red We are not different on the inside
I was so obsessed with this song and video when it came out. I hadn't really listened to any Against Me! before but I got the album and listened to it all the time. It made me feel so sad in a way I couldn't understand until like 6 years later when I was listening to it for the millionth time and realised I connected with it so much because it was about me. Four months into transition now.
It's so awesome to see such an open-minded community, all the support is empowering!
how have I never seen this?! this is fucking awesome. i got to meet Laura and the band on their Transgender Dysphoria Blues tour and go to the show, it was so much fun.
To ALL closeted transgender people out there..... FUCK what everybody thinks. EVERYONE deserves to be happy. Not all of us straights are against you. You have a lot of support. I am also sorry if people have made you feel rotten. A new age is coming... be happy!! =)
+Dino Mireles Thx! Means a lot to us.
yes! agreed!
i think you meant not all cis ppl are against us but thanks. you know, transgender people can be straight, gay or whatever.
BlackRoseAnarchy you should check the definition of "opression" before using it.
BlackRoseAnarchy
You have no right to joke about such things without any context to see it as that. Get your 'jokes' together.
ive been living stealth for years and this song still makes me feel.
I keep watching this over and over, the imagery, the content. It's too powerful.
oh look this is the song i listen to now on repeat when i want to cry how fun
Happy trans day of visibility
I listened to this tonight while shaving my hair. This music just has something that just makes me feel like me, like I'm in control, like I'm more than this ill fitting skin. Thank you
What a badass video to go with such a fantastic song!
Happy pride 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️
Album of the year
EXTRAORDINARY!!! Both song and video. Just brilliant...
I hope my dad didn't regret anything. I miss him so much. This song absolutely reeks of him.
omg this video made me cry
also my fave song on the record... i can listen to it 200x in a row and STILL play it again.
So I'm not trans, but I relate to this song because I have a bad body image because I'm a bit overweight. I've never really felt comfortable in my body, and I've always felt like my body wasn't for me. Songs like these help me feel better about myself knowing that there's other people who don't feel that comfortable in their bodies.
Ringing Rickenbackers and Dysphoric lyrics, this cannot get anymore up my alley.
wonderful video, amazing album, fantastic band (just as they've always been)!!
0:46 me everyday trying to get rid of that stupid beard shadow and just ending up cutting myself with no result >.
Chloe Mcholoe you’re still valid ❤️❤️
@@brianthealien1825 Thanks
Chloe Mcholoe ❤️❤️
Amazing! Plz Plz Plz do this with some other of the songs on the album.
THANK YOU GUYS FOR OPENING FOR GREEN DAY IN CHAMPAIGN!! All your music is so great thank you for introducing me to you guys!!
Will never forget how much I love Against Me!
This song gets to me, I love it so much.
love the style of this video!
Love this Band.
Lots of heart THIS BAND HAS
absolute legendary song, hands down. i love how it portrays laura's struggles, i can completely relate. thank you :))
This is my favourite song on tgdb...:)
it's been 2-3 years since I last discovered this band and this song. sucks to say how much things still hurt. I've been 8 months on hrt and I only feel awful. I feel even less feminine. tho at least I have slight brease growth.
how are you going now?
Great song. Great video. I love the new album!
I just finished her autobiography, and I'm now in tears...don't ask why...I don't know why
This is honestly my favorite song, ever.
This song is life right now! ❤️
Probably one of the best songs from that album :'3
Fuck, the entire album was good infact (y)
love this song so much
Great black & white images, pacing, lyrics, singer, group, song - thank you for posting - CHEERS - THANK YOU FOR POSTING - DAVEDJ
9 years later still listening!
In my top 10 songs of all time.
That guitar riff is just nasty! Love it.
Why is it this song makes me cry everytime?
"All things made to be destroyed, all moments meant to pass"
Still love this song so much. It resonates with me even if I can't relate with the trans aspect, then again that's only named specifically in the 3rd verse which is probably why.
FML666, Osama, & Black me out are the best on the album hands down....in my opinion, of course.
Pure, raw emotion and self-recognition. No matter who you are, or what you are, or what you think you are, love yourself and accept everyone else without judgement.
what an amazing video for an amazing song from and amazing album from an amazing singer. we love you, laura
Anyone else think this newer stuff is quite Weakerthans-y? I love it!
This video represents me so well... I'm crying.
So awesome. We love Against Me!
This version sounds very thin. It sounds great on the live Letterman version.
Awesome!
Wow that is an extremely good song
this so g is jsut amazing I just love it 😘😘
this song makes me cry. i love it
Funny I've been transitioning for the past year and a half and Laura jane Grace and I just found you yesterday 🥺
Amazing! So proud of LJG. Great vid. Could have used it in 1970s, ya know?
Great song
Mandatory happiness!
I'm ftm but I feel this way to hard dysforia sucks so bad and it sucks more when you dont have support from your family
album of the year
Beautiful.
Cutting myself when shaving out of obsession is mood
Fucking brilliant!
mortal!!
I really like the title lmao
Cool
it is so fucking creative. I love it
It's a love song
I thought it was "are things meant to be destroyed are moments meant to pass" seems to fit better.
❤️❤️❤️
I saw these guys open for Green Day...they aren't bad

Never wanna say that we grew apart! I'm unboxing a special Against Me! record if you guys want to see. Laura, I love you!
