i'm a fucking idiot i listened to this entire song thinking "Wow glass animals has some good range" before realizing 3 days later it was a completely different band
I JUST realized why the song is called "**yoshi's island**" after listening to it for over a YEAR. Yoshi is a creature that CONSUMES people and turns them into EGGS. *EGGS!!!!* I could do an entire fucking analysis on the implications of the symbolism of yoshi in this context, and in fact that's exactly what i'm going to do right now actually Okay, for those who don't know, in the transgender community, the term "egg" is used to describe a person who doesn't know that they're transgender yet. When they figure it out, the egg "cracks". Yoshi, as a character, has an extremely prevalent connection with eggs throughout his games. You can probably draw a lot of connections from that alone. The biggest complication with this interpretation of Yoshi being connected with transgenderism (at least in my opinion) is Yoshi's relationship with eggs, because in the games, Yoshi is known to hatch out of an egg, which in this context would represent the realization that one is transgender, thus making Yoshi representative of the newly realized trans person. But, Yoshi is also known to eat enemies and turn them INTO eggs, which, inversely, could represent transgender repression (e.g. bullying, transphobia, and other social factors which discourages people from transitioning.) Which would in turn make Yoshi representative of transphobic influences that persuade trans people to repress. (Maybe i'm reading too far into this, idk) There's also the implication of the "Island" part of the title. Yoshi's Island is, unsurprisingly, an island populated mainly by Yoshis, so the island represents a place where many Yoshi congregate to form a community of sorts. (BEDROOM COMMUNITY TYPE SHIT??) With this in mind, Yoshi's island can represent two things depending on your reading of Yoshi's symbolic meaning; The transgender community that forms in a space populated by mainly trans people, (could be a metaphor for online transgender spaces?) ((could be further backed up depending on your reading of bedroom community)), or a society that consumes otherwise happy transgender people and turns them into eggs (forces them to repress their gender identity). Thank you for listening.
I kinda also thought the correlation was this weird need some parents have to preserve their children as kids or as this image they had of what they would grow into.
For some reason I used to think this was one of the weakest songs off the album. It’s grown on me over time, and now I realize just how fantastic this song is. From the emotionally resonant and powerful themes/lyrics to the infectiously catchy melody that strikes a perfect balance between fun and melancholy. I love it
I always listen to my music really soft, because I have sensitive ears, but this album? I think I grew sound tolerance with this album because I turn this shit UP.
Looking back at it listening to this song on Bandcamp more than 2 years ago feels weird. Came a long way from there my life is in a better place . And this was in an old playlist that I listened to again . Feels good this was my favorite song that hasn't lost it's flare everytime I listened to it again . I can't help but smile about it.
THATS SO REAL, listening to songs you loved now that you’re in a better place and they still slap, that’s one of the best feelings. Like knowing how far you’ve come is so satisfying.
thank you for letting me cry. I dont know why I'm crying and I don't really wanna know why but I can never cry nowadays because they tried to change my shape & now my self is dead but I'm still here I guess because if I wasn't why am I crying and who is still here fuck. I dont know man. But thanks for letting me cry. I used to like this song cos I like the way it sounded but I saw the lyrics and every few months I come back and I think about this song and I feel it just a little more but I also feel empty a little more even when I thought there was nothing left. I think sometimes people see a glimpse of how empty and angry I am and they run away and I dont blame them they can hear the hate I have for myself in my voice and i try to be happy but even when I do laugh I hurt a little maybe they can hear it. thank you for letting me cry now I'll forget and remember it all over again but I wish I could forget whatever it is but even if I push the words away I still feel something hurts, a mismatch an absence and my eyes well up in the mirror but I cant cry will I be stuck here forever? Lurking and venting on corners of the internet to myself? Maybe it's good I don't know I mean, I forget things for a reason, push them away for a reason. Not all repression is wrong. But I dont really know. I feel like a troglodyte sometimes. Thank you for letting me cry. I guess I'll forget, and its late, I need to sleep. Goodnight. If anyone reads this, other than me, please don't answer my questions. If you get from solace from hearing me express these things then cool, I guess. Hope you found a way to get rid of them. But something tells me I'm just like this. Idk. Gn
the lyrics here are so godamn genius i love it i love the second verse especially, perfectly describes being trans and the sort of societal standards we're held to, even by people who aren't actively transphobic. being expected to hate our bodies by default, changing the way we dress to avoid violence, being expected to adhere to an imaginary standard of feminity/masculinity/androgny to be read as valid, to have to explain our pain for cis peoples' sympathy like we're different species.

I JUST realized why the song is called "**yoshi's island**" after listening to it for over a YEAR.
Yoshi is a creature that CONSUMES people and turns them into EGGS.
*EGGS!!!!*
I could do an entire fucking analysis on the implications of the symbolism of yoshi in this context, and in fact that's exactly what i'm going to do right now actually
Okay, for those who don't know, in the transgender community, the term "egg" is used to describe a person who doesn't know that they're transgender yet. When they figure it out, the egg "cracks".
Yoshi, as a character, has an extremely prevalent connection with eggs throughout his games. You can probably draw a lot of connections from that alone.
The biggest complication with this interpretation of Yoshi being connected with transgenderism (at least in my opinion) is Yoshi's relationship with eggs, because in the games, Yoshi is known to hatch out of an egg, which in this context would represent the realization that one is transgender, thus making Yoshi representative of the newly realized trans person.

The transgender community that forms in a space populated by mainly trans people, (could be a metaphor for online transgender spaces?) ((could be further backed up depending on your reading of bedroom community)), or a society that consumes otherwise happy transgender people and turns them into eggs (forces them to repress their gender identity).
Thank you for listening.
Ah yes this song is about a big dis-morphed green dinosaur consuming people shitting them out as trans, perfect
Yoshi's Island also refers to the nation of Vanuatu, a common source of self-medicated hormones. #diyhrtsaveslives
I kinda also thought the correlation was this weird need some parents have to preserve their children as kids or as this image they had of what they would grow into.
@@MrFish-pm8bx also an extremely valid interpretation!
This is Yoshi song dedicated to Birdo obviously
I saw the thumbnail in my recommended and it immediately caught my attention but the music fully gripped me, I fucking love this holy shit

I can't take the pressure
Cry on the bathroom floor when you look in the mirror
Cover your neck or they'll cut your head off
J, you're only cute with your heart eyes and legs crossed
Write the things you think when you're out of your body
Run yourself out of words to say you're hopelessly lonely
And don't leave the city and don't leave the covers too
I know it's hard but I swear I still love you
I am never gonna understand
I am never gonna understand
I am everything you think about her
Behind her back, the whole truth
Does it hurt to say you love her like a son?
The world could kill her just cause she can't fit in right
Yeah, it'll make it so dangerous
When they leave no room to breathe in the space they carved out for us
When they get inside your head, give you white lies and black eyes
When they try to change your shape until your sense of self dies
But you make me feel like I'm out of my body
We ran out of words to say we're hopelessly lonely
So don't leave the city, please don't leave the covers too
Just stay right here babe, let's live life like lovers do
I am never gonna understand
