| In my opinion, it's a song about transexuality. I mean, that's what struck me when I heard it. And it fits with the lyrics. | |

| this song, to me, holds on to the theme of little baby nothing although Nicky wrote the song, the lyrics remind me of Richey: "the censorship of my skin is screaming inside and from within there's no room in this world for a girl like me and place around there where i fit in" it's like how self-abuse is considered to be more of a feminine thing opposed to taking out your aggression on others is considered "manly" or masculine this song is pretty much a "lament for having being born a boy" as Nigel Packer of the BBC news declares it | |
