Only just watched and listened to Changeling by Lydia the Bard.
As a very neurospicy person who has struggled like this for many decades, it really hits hard 🥺
Especially with lyrics like these:
I'm a warped reflection
Mending cracks with glue
I’m racing to fix them
Just gotta convince them
That I’m one of them tooand
Start walking
Stop talking
Keep smiling
Too widely
Be normal
Pretend there’s

CW: Emotional, powerful song (with animated music video) about predatory men (violating consent, abuse, SA, domestic violence, rape)
Hopefully the CW we've added for this is sufficient, but if it's not, please do let us know what amendments we can make to it 🥺
We felt we had to share this though, as the song and corresponding music video are both so intense, powerful, and haunting.
Lydia the Bard - Feed Us Your Girls (Official Animatic Video)
Lyrics:
A young girl or a pretty meal
The line is just so fine
Little Red walked out alone
Joining the buffet of the nightSee the wolves they wait and watch and howl hoping for a bite
Of fresh meat on a busy street the minute you're out of sightLittle Red walked out alone
Joining the buffet of the nightBut Little Red, she knows these streets,
So why should she be afraid?
She walks out with her blood red cloak
But red's his favourite shadeYou'll attract the wrong attention wearing colours such as those
Boys will be boys, wolves will be wolves
But what does mother know!Feed us your girls
The wolves shout out
Feed us the ones with curves the ones without
Feed us your girls
From plate to mouth
Honey you're the entrée when you dress like that
And mother's not aroundDawn arrives and dinner scraps
Are on the street from just last night
People whisper "it's her fault
with a red so very bright"A silly girl
A common whore
Someone cover up that sight
No one likes to see leftovers by the dawning lightAnd there's a buffet every night
But Little Red she knew those woods
Each tree and every stone
Doesn't matter either way
When there's a wolf inside your HomeYou can hear the growling
So You throw the dog a bone
You'll catch more bees with honey dear
But what does mother knowFeed us your girls
The wolves shout out
Feed us the ones with curves the ones without
Feed us your girls
From plate to mouth
Honey you're the entrée when you dress like that
And mother's not aroundLittle Red was not a meal
A little girl is not a tease
A cloak is not an invitation for what's underneathOur no does not mean yes
There no riddle, there's no test
Blood red clothes alone at night shouldn't equal deathBut the wolves are very hungry
Gnashing pointed teeth
Don't care what the wrapper's like
It'll eat you if you breatheSo maybe it doesn't matter
How we choose to wrap our skin
Cos you'd prefer to blame a girl
Then deal with your own sinFeed us your girls
The wolves shout out
Feed us the ones with curves the ones without
Feed us your girls
From plate to mouth
Honey you're the entrée when you dress like that
And mother's not around#LydiaTheBard #FeedUsYourGirls #HereBeDragons #music #MusicVideo
