June
Motopony Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The thing I just had to believe
It will be seven years in June
I know my time is coming soon
I told her everything I know
I told her daddy where to go
I let her drink my mama's wine
I never was allowed to shine
She took me to her parents' (place?)
I stared their dog right in the face
He asked me if I knew his name
"Mother," I said without a shame
There's something you should know right here
Might not be gay but sure am queer
We would be married in six weeks
I'm not afraid to say "defeat"
But hold on, just hold on, hold on, just hold on
(Hold on, just hold on)
Freedom is just another word
But words are for more than being heard
Wishing you did like (femme ______?)
I've got to go and be myself
It's finally happening to me
The thing I was afraid to believe
It took me seven years to bloom
I knew my time was coming soon
But hold on, just hold on, hold on, just hold on
(Hold on, just hold on)
Hold on, just hold on, hold on, just hold on
(Hold on, just hold on)
Hold on
The lyrics of Motoponyβs βJuneβ tell the story of a person who has been waiting for something to happen for seven years. As the song progresses, we learn that the singer has been hiding who they truly are, but has recently come out to someone they are in love with. The line βIβm not afraid to say βdefeatββ suggests that the singer has been fighting an internal battle, perhaps struggling to come to terms with their own identity. However, with their newfound freedom, the singer is ready to go and be themselves.
The lyrics also touch on the theme of acceptance, or the lack thereof. The singer hints at their familyβs disapproval of their true self, as they were βnever allowed to shine.β Additionally, the line βI told her daddy where to goβ suggests that the singer has had to stand up to those who oppose their true self in order to be happy.
The chorus, which repeats βhold onβ several times, can be interpreted in several ways. On one hand, it can be seen as a message of hope to the singer, encouraging them to hold on for their time to come. On the other hand, it could be interpreted as a reminder to the listener to hold on to their own sense of self and identity, despite opposition or struggle.
