about

Although medical transition is not something every transgender person wants or can opt for, for some it is definitely a necessary step to feel connected with their body. A few days before their top surgery date, Eyemèr wrote a song called ‘Reborn’. This track is a reflection on the long process they went through to be able to get top surgery. It also talks about the freedom they imagined to feel right after this gender affirming surgery.

lyrics

Now I am home
I can feel wind on my skin
Feel true love from within battle scars
Now I'm reborn
Can occupy space in my body
Surgery gave me freedom

How long can you put up
With doctors making decisions about your life
My body, my choices
I am so fed up
Of asking for approval and being doubted
Seen as abnormal

Now I am home
I can feel wind on my skin
Feel true love from within battle scars
Now I'm reborn
Can occupy space in my body
Surgery gave me freedom

No more waking up at 3 o' clock
Panic mode, trying to accept this body is yours
Seeing in the window of a crowded street
'I'm still not as flat as the boy next to me'
Your binder in the closet, it gave you too much pain
But mentally this is suffocating too in a way
There's no one here, no one there,
No one that looks like you,
Your life is the joke in a hollywood cartoon

Home
I've been searching for it
Like a snail, lost without it
Home
I've been searching for it
Now I have found my

Home
I can feel wind on my skin
Feel true love from within battle scars
Now I'm reborn
Can occupy space in my body
Surgery gave me freedom
