burn bright is THE gay song and the end is THE trans song. yes i will elaborate
for anyone wondering: i’ll start with burn bright. this is just based of lyrics btw.
“Kissed all the boys in your city lights”
pretty obvious with that one

“& #39;Cause it makes me who I am”
sexuality i’m guessing. proud of who they are

“Not ashamed of what I am”
again, sexuality
“They always told me that
"You never get to heaven"
With a love like yours”
this one is also very obviously about sexuality

the song also repeats variations of “& #39;Cause it makes me who I am” for a lot of it
bonus for burn bright:
“It& #39;s like a chemical burn
I& #39;m peeling off your skin, yeah
And when you see your face
Well you& #39;ll never be the same again, yeah”
this gives me trans vibes
next: the end
this one has a LOT packed into it for such a short song. it makes me sad how so many people don’t even think about it because it’s an “intro” to the album.
“Wipe off that makeup, what& #39;s in is despair
So throw on the black dress, mix in with the lot
You might wake up and notice you& #39;re someone you& #39;re not”
wow. i just love this part. this is pretty obviously about not being cis. love it
“If you look in the mirror and don& #39;t like what you see
You can find out firsthand what it& #39;s like to be me”
don’t like what you look like, but it’s more dysphoria (or just feeling uncomfy in your body?) than just disliking what you look like i think. could also have something to -
- do with weight :(

“Here& #39;s my resignation, I& #39;ll serve it in drag”
fun fact (that a lot of ppl know already but https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤷" title="Person shrugging" aria-label="Emoji: Person shrugging">), gerard sometimes went to school (college) in drag

“When I grow up I want to be nothing at all”
trans vibes
end of thread i think :)
