#the religious imagery of the song (INNOCENT. HELLO) and reducing it to just that makes me so. oh my god

i hate interpreting "give me back my girlhood it was mine first" as being about just virginity mostly because it feels so much more meaningful if you allow yourself to interpret it as your younger self and the childhood innocence you had that got taken from you but also because i hate the idea of calling someone's virginity their "girlhood"

#crunchyposts #ts #wcs #am i crazy for thinking i dont want to call virginity “girlhood” #that feels Wrong #but also like as a lyric its so much better if you don't interpret it like that #like come on. you're gonna hear lyrics about being preyed on at a young age by an older man and regretting that it happened #lyrics that explicitly said “i miss who i used to be” and youre just gonna say that lines about virginity. #“i'd like to be my old self again but i'm still trying to find it” come on. have you ever felt the deep grief of a past version of yourself #that youll never get back. also im not fucking speculating on someone's virginity #this makes me so angry now that im writing all of this i have no idea why #maybe its bc im ace and i connect a lot with the song and the themes of grief and like the childhood innocence that connects so much to #the religious imagery of the song (INNOCENT. HELLO) and reducing it to just that makes me so. oh my god #anyways another post that falls into the category of “every time i think about wcs i write an essay” #literally just about 9 words lol
