Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I won't tie another noose on a phone story.
I won't say I knew him well all along.
I won't play boys.
I won't follow suit for comraderie.
I vote change,
And spit on your categories
I'm tired of rearranging street signs.
I can't blunten a way of life that steals life away.
I can't shunt a mechanism that breeds.
I won't play boys.
I won't follow suit for comraderie.
I vote change,
And spit on your categories
Your categories.
I'm tired of rearranging street signs.
The lyrics to AgaugeFor's song "Void" are a powerful statement against conformity and the systems that perpetuate oppression.

The line "I won't say I knew him well all along" suggests a deeper recognition of the ways in which our perceptions and understanding of others can be incomplete or flawed.
The chorus, "I won't play boys, I won't follow suit for comraderie. I vote change and spit on your categories," is a clear rejection of the patriarchal and hierarchical structures that often dominate our social lives.
