“Man of my dreams”

One of my closest transmasc/non-binary friends here in Colorado just shared with me the song “Man of my dreams” by transmasculine artist Ezra Michel and it instantly became a favorite of mine — I resonate with it completely, every single line of the song feels like it’s my story, how I feel now… 

I am all of a sudden the man of my dreams (physically but not only)… and boy, it feels so wonderful!

“

All of a sudden I’m the man of my dreams

One, two, three, pick up the trash off the street

Call up my grandmother, ask how she’s doin’

Same old story but I guess she’s quit smoking

I am all of the sudden the man of my dreams

Cut all the ties to the folks who hurt me

The ones that I hurt, I’ll make amends

Picking up garbage again and again

All of a sudden I’m the man of my dreams

Water my house plants at least once a week

Some leaves fell but I asked for forgiveness

They told me it hurt but they’ll be alright

I am all of the sudden the man of my dreams

Cut all the ties to the folks who hurt me

The ones that I hurt, I’ll make amends

Picking up garbage again and again

All of a sudden I’m the man of my dreams

I’ll comfort my friends and respect boundaries

Look in your eyes and ask you on a date

I’m cookin’ you dinner, I’ll make you a plate

All of a sudden I’m the man of my dreams

No sneaky motives, no undisclosed schemes

Standing up tall while I hold space for you

I’ve got so much privilege, ain’t got much to lose

All of a sudden I’m the man of my dreams
