Queer
.58 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A New York City cafe
Walked into that room
Things would really change
He had too much to drink
Guess he didn't think about his family
What went wrong
You could be his man
You could be his queer
You could be his drug store slam
You could be his woman
And I hope your family understands
Second time he saw him was
The south of France
Some passion fashion disco
And a bastard's dance
What went wrong
Or what went right
That night
Was it love?
You can be his woman
You can be his man
You can be his queer
You can be his drug store junkie slam
Real love doesn't come so easy when you're on your knees
Say please
Guess it's just a figure of speech
Life's got its lessons to teach
Just like fuzz on a peach
But be careful where you reach
Man I can only tell you
Sex is dangerous
You can be his woman
You can be his man
You can be his queer
You can be his drug store junkie slam
Real love doesn't come so easy when you're on your knees
Say please
Didn't know what was gettin' into you
The song "Queer" by .58 tells the story of a man who falls in love with another man and grapples with societal expectations and the potential consequences of his sexuality. The first verse describes the moment the singer meets his love interest in a New York City cafΓ©, where he had too much to drink and didn't consider how his family would react to his sexual orientation. The chorus delivers a message of inclusivity regardless of gender or sexual orientation but acknowledges the difficulty in finding true love in a society that doesn't always accept those who fall outside of traditional norms.
The second verse takes place in the south of France at a disco, where the two men share a passionate dance. The singer questions whether their connection is love or merely physical attraction. The chorus repeats the message of inclusivity and struggles to find true love but adds a warning that sex can be dangerous.
The song acknowledges the challenges of being LGBTQ+ and encourages openness, honesty, and acceptance while also warning of the potential dangers that come with sexual activity. The singer's journey highlights the importance of being true to oneself and accepting who we are regardless of societal expectations.
