The Onslaught Pt. 2
Lazarus Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

My life can be
(whatever, whatever, whatever)

To be you (oh)
To be all of you
So, what does that mean
Well darling, I can tell you what that means to me
It means existing unapologetically
It means to love all of myself
My flaws and my strengths, honey
It means loving my black queer femme body
Even when society says I’m not worthy of love
It means letting joy and happiness radiate through my Beautiful brown skin
It means strutting with full confidence
Down the street performing whichever
Gender expression I’m feeling that day
It means self-love and self-care
It means loving who I was, who I am, and who I will be
It means knowing that I am a fierce ass queen
It means looking into the mirror and knowing that
I am beautiful just the way I am

(My life)
(Whatever)
(My life can be, yeah)




(My life can be, oh)
(Whatever)
