A STATEMENT ON TRAMPLED FLOWERS
via: instagram 11/20/2024
Trampled Flowers is officially here.
This song is for those who have been held between worlds at an arms length: told that they can't meet the parents ("they just wouldn't understand"), told to leave the bathroom ("i just don't understand"), or told who they really are ("you just don't understand"). It's for everyone who tears at the plastic to let what lay beneath breathe, everyone who dare straddle the gendered fences erected around us, and it's for everyone who pushes back against the notion that out fate can be foretold by the glance of a doctor in a delivery room.
There is more to all of this than individualistic fodder they toss in our troughs. Take this day to remember those that we've lost and, if you haven't already, this is the time to commit yourself to the unity of this community. Without it, we are nothing.
