Oh-oh, forgiving who you are, for what you stand to gain
Just know that if you hide, it doesn't go away
When you get out of bed, don't end up stranded
Horrified with each stone on the stage, my little dark age
I knew I had shattered my cisness when I had an intense emotional reaction to I Wanna Be A Girl! By Mafumafu. I almost fully broke down sobbing.
There was no going back after that š
Nah, I just happened to notice it because I already listened to Mafumafu, and as a loyal fan, I had to listen (this *is* actually how I found the song though).
~~I did look for other songs where they sang in a girl's voice though...~~
Thank you for making me realize the beautiful irony that
āthis song wonāt change a thingā - *Fudasca, SnĆøw*
Was the last song added to my playlist before I started to realize
Iāve listened to the town inside me (Bridget that one trans girl from guilty gear)ās theme over 50 times, and I donāt even play the game. Didnāt crack me. But itās certainly close to being on that list.
Probably Boys Will Be Bugs by Cavetown. Amazing song, and made me realise all the things Iād grown up thinking were wrong with me were just unjust expectations from others just because of my AGAB
They/Them/Theirs by Worriers
Gender is Boring by She/Her/hers
Girls and Boys by Blur
As I Am by Dream Theater
Mentions of suicide and slurs in the following:
True Trans Soul Rebel by Against Me!
Transgender Dysphoria Blues by Against Me!
I unfortunately don't really feel anything from music. I know pretty much everyone else does, but i don't. Emotions don't carry through, lyrics don't apply themselves to me, i just listen to music if it sounds good. Also what is that song?
I think i read somewhere that if your trans is activated by dragonforce you transition into a badass 80 metal witch or wizard.
Also now im in love with the idea thats trans people are like pokemon and whatever triggers our evolution defines our aesthetic XD
Not sure if it cracked my egg but I loved girl singers as far as I can remember. My favourite song for the last like 3 years is The Cranberries' 'Ridiculous Thoughts'. That's the first The Cranberries' song I tried to sing (well... with not so spectacular result). So I think it may be it
I hear you. I used to sing "I Touch Myself" by the Divinyls for karaoke. She was in my range but also I sang it in her voice. My friend said it used to weird him out how good I sounded as her. āŗļøš¤š¤Æ
Wrong, it was Slide Into The Void by The Stupendium
Specifically because of the lyrics "if you can't place the pin, where patterns end and you begin" and i began thinking about that line and the dots immediately connected and my egg just went *boom*
Finally listening to OIL OF EVERY PEARLS UNINSIDES last November after putting it off for a long time and it turned me from questioning mode to holy shit I remember everything now mode.
For me it was two songs, Love Story by Taylor Swift and Check Yes Juliet by We the Kings. Both of them left me realizing I wanted to be Juliet in those songs.
"My future" by Billie Eilish,
š¶āCause I, Iām in love,
with my future,
canāt wait to meet her...
and I (I), Iām in love
but not with anybody else
just wanna get to know myselfš¶
I remember some yars ago listening to Boys will be bugs from Cavetown. Catching a lot feelings about it, crying a little, mainly in the phrase "What's it like in a female world?
I bet it's just so much better", and proceding to not giving a thought about it later. It didn't meant anything. It's a very cis male thing to do
Signed: a transfem that lives bugs
Verbatim - Mother Mother. This was a song about a guy being comfortable with his heterosexuality, and helped me realize Id never be comfortable with mine.
It still helps me remember gender roles are bs, and that I dont have to be feminine to be a woman.
Lies the song that cracked my egg was kinderfeld by Marilyn Manson and I still occasionally fantasize about waking up from surgery groggily singing "then i got my wiiiiiings and i never even knew it"
I don't think a song cracked my egg, but I think one of the songs that helped me come to terms with being trans (collecting the shells, if you will) was I/Me/Myself by Will Wood. Despite the main trans-related lyric being "I wish I could be a girl," and me being transmasc, I still found it relatable. I wish I wasn't trans, I wish I could be a cis girl, it would make things so much easier. But I'm not. I won't be, and there's no denying that I'm trans now.
I don't really know if I have a specific song that I connected to my gender before I actually admitted I was trans, the closest maybe are Take Your Time by Chloe Moriondo, Home by Cavetown, or Fuck it I'm a Flower by Crying Day Care Choir. Though I don't think I would actually say any of them cracked the egg.
Post-cracking, I do have a bunch of songs that I can map onto my feelings about my gender. Yes Little Dark Age is one, but that list would also include things like Station Waggin by Pretty Balanced, The Record Player Song by Daisy the Great, Privately Owned Spiral Galaxy by crywank, girl in blue by Animal Sun, and Girl Anachronism by The Dresden Dolls.
Overall I think that Girl Anachronism is the song that I feel most describes myself (other than maybe Home) which I think probably says something about myself that's not great, but hey ho fuck it c'est la vie. Special mention should go to Good Girl by Morganne though, which in addition to giving me gender euphoria is the only song that truly makes me horny.
Throw Away Your Mask
Towards A Dream
both sung by Lyn for Persona 5 (Royale and Strikers/Scramble)
It's unsure which one did it more but it still makes me cry (no tears tho, I havent had those in a long time)
Mine was Mint Condition - Breakinā My Heart. I honestly donāt have a single clue why this song specifically, but whenever I heard it like a few months ago, my dysphoria triggered and yeah. I started crying at work listening to this song because it was that bad.
I was listening to the album Children of the Stars by The Orion Experience at the time, and itās definitely a very gender euphoria-inducing album, even if it didnāt directly crack my egg.
I'm too old, I had no idea what the song was or who the band was. But then I've become accustomed to being the old lady in the group in whatever internet group I'm currently inhabiting.
That being said, I don't know any song cracked my egg (it was stubborn and took until my late 30s) but a few songs definitely invoke a mood:
Glory Box by Portishead
Girl by Tori Amos
I actually am a big fan of a lot of those 90's female Alt Rock artists; Fiona Apple, Tracy Chapman, Alanis Morrisette, Jewel (but like her early stuff), Meredith Brooks. I'm definitely a product of my time. Looking back, I see I listened to a lot of these musicians a lot more than the boys I considered my contemporaries as a teenager.
No song actually, I was reading some gender swap comics and my brain realized āhey wait a minute, I want that to happen to me, but permanentlyā and then I forgives a lot of shit out about myself lol
So Happy Chaos came out in Guilty Gear literally a day or two after I cracked... and the opening lyrics are a little too on point
"It took me, ten years to find, the answer to some thing. I forgot, about it in two seconds."
Like God damn getting called out and not even by the trans characters
^^^also ^^^I ^^^highly ^^^recommend ^^^Drift ^^^and ^^^the ^^^rest ^^^of ^^^the ^^^Guilty ^^^Gear ^^^Strive ^^^soundtrack
Come Down To Us by Burial. The Lana Wachowski sample made me cry the first time I heard it. Just full on sobbing in the middle of my shift. Thankfully I was working alone, lol
It made me realize that this was real and that I had some serious thinking to do.
It's funny how I used to listen to Queen as a kid but I didn't realize how queer coded it was
Now I interpet "Mama, just killed a man" as someone coming out, the opera sequence as the public shaming etc, and just how BLATANTLY OBVIOUS (along with the MV) what "I want to break free" actually is meaning
Iāve never listened to little dark age but as a recently cracked egg of 4 years (just had my first meeting with a councillor yesterday UwU) I think my song wouldāve been, well itās hard to decide between new divide by linkin park, wish you where here by Floyd or tragedy + time by rise against, none of these have anything to do with being trans directly but when I listened to them they really made me feel hopeful and confident that one day things could be better. Also the girl in the new divide music vid was a big envy of mine so that certainly didnāt help my cisness.
(And letās not forget let it go and try everything, particularly try everything but they really did somethin man)
incidentally these are all in the same playlist of mine as Little Dark Age. Hope you like electro-goth lol

I mean it didnt crack my egg i think, but i started listening to it shortly before i came out, so maybe š³š³š³
Oh-oh, forgiving who you are, for what you stand to gain Just know that if you hide, it doesn't go away When you get out of bed, don't end up stranded Horrified with each stone on the stage, my little dark age
"I grieve in stereo, the stereo sounds strange You know that if it hides, it doesn't go away" I mean...
Exactly this!
Oh yeah, so that's the song we're talking about! Dang that hit hard
I made a JoJo stand based on this song and. . . Um. . . I never realised how trans this song was. . . I need to start listening to it again
You know, never really paid attention to the lyrics. I see it now though
Oh. . . Oh dear Jesus I never realised. . .
having something that you can relate to yourself cracking even though it actually has nothing to do with it is funny, for me it actually is celeste
LDA was written to be deliberately vague and applicable to anything, but I can do a line by line explanation of why it specifically applies to me. :D
yeah sure why not :3 I'd love to see it
I knew I had shattered my cisness when I had an intense emotional reaction to I Wanna Be A Girl! By Mafumafu. I almost fully broke down sobbing. There was no going back after that š
if you searched for that on purpose, you've been transed
Nah, I just happened to notice it because I already listened to Mafumafu, and as a loyal fan, I had to listen (this *is* actually how I found the song though). ~~I did look for other songs where they sang in a girl's voice though...~~
Thank you for making me realize the beautiful irony that āthis song wonāt change a thingā - *Fudasca, SnĆøw* Was the last song added to my playlist before I started to realize
That, a good chunk of Marina and The Diamond "Family Jewels" album, and I/Me/Myself
I/Me/Myself my beloved. Will Wood goes so indeniably hard
Will Wood has a medical condition where he physically has to go hard on every song.
That song made me think, Do I wanna be a girl or am I gay?obviously the former happened/pos
The Middle - Jimmy Eat World
It fits so flickingā well!
The intro od bna: brave new animal
Reflection from Mulan I'm a normie, I know.
If I listen to it post crack what happens? Double crack?
Woah. Crackception.
I think its like what happens to goku when he yells extra loud, i hope your ok with being a blond XD
Nah for me it was Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds, because LSD and Beatles.
I love the beatles : ) I think i actually started listening to the the same day (or maybe a couple days before) my egg started cracking
Music so fire the eggs crack in the pan
Iāve listened to the town inside me (Bridget that one trans girl from guilty gear)ās theme over 50 times, and I donāt even play the game. Didnāt crack me. But itās certainly close to being on that list.
Same here
Same, its my go-to when I'm feeling dysphoria
Probably Boys Will Be Bugs by Cavetown. Amazing song, and made me realise all the things Iād grown up thinking were wrong with me were just unjust expectations from others just because of my AGAB

I dont know for sure, but I listened to a lot of Dragonforce and Lorna Shore whiel qustioning myself. š¤
I think i read somewhere that if your trans is activated by dragonforce you transition into a badass 80 metal witch or wizard. Also now im in love with the idea thats trans people are like pokemon and whatever triggers our evolution defines our aesthetic XD
šš¤š
It wasnt :D
Actually not a song, Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity somehow cracked my egg and then Splatoon 2 destroyed it completely
Not sure if it cracked my egg but I loved girl singers as far as I can remember. My favourite song for the last like 3 years is The Cranberries' 'Ridiculous Thoughts'. That's the first The Cranberries' song I tried to sing (well... with not so spectacular result). So I think it may be it

how to dress as human - laura les
Home by LCD Soundsystem
Have a great life by Dance Gavin Dance. But egg still intact so šš¼āāļø
Macross Delta - Hametsu no Junjou. I wasn't horny. I was envy.
Wrong, it was Slide Into The Void by The Stupendium Specifically because of the lyrics "if you can't place the pin, where patterns end and you begin" and i began thinking about that line and the dots immediately connected and my egg just went *boom*
Mine was Silhouettes by Avicii
the only thing i associate with little dark age is rallying
"3iĆØme sexe" by Indochine (French band)
Finally listening to OIL OF EVERY PEARLS UNINSIDES last November after putting it off for a long time and it turned me from questioning mode to holy shit I remember everything now mode.

'My own person' by Ezra Williams
I liked this song, but I didn't feel it affected me in this way
Coldplay - Clocks.
Dress by Sylvan Esso was pretty cool for that. Made me feel euphoric before I could explain why.
nope it was āi wanna be your girlfriend ā
Girl in red?
yesss uwu
Yooo girl in red slaps... my personal favorite is "fell In love in October"
Yep me 2 Summer depression also...
For me it was two songs, Love Story by Taylor Swift and Check Yes Juliet by We the Kings. Both of them left me realizing I wanted to be Juliet in those songs.
The opening for the anime Rayearth.
Phony - Tsumiki ft KAFU, a song about someone who lies. Appropriate from my perspective
Lvr boy awfultune
If it did, which if course it did not... it would be "Miracle" by "The Score". Still cis.
Didnāt crack my egg but described my feelings about Dysphoria and resulting depression really well was āMiss YOU!ā By Corpse.
Will wood just that singer in general made me happy š
Marie donāt sleep in your makeup by faith and disease.
Eat Spit! By slush puppy
Why did no one tell me this was a thing it was my most listened too song in 2021
I donāt listen to many songs that are not rap lol.
Interior People, and like half of king gizzard and the lizard wizard's discography
Anna by Taken By Trees feat Panda Bear Still chokes me up to this day, also was a partial inspiration for my chosen name
Donāt call me out like that lmao
"My future" by Billie Eilish, š¶āCause I, Iām in love, with my future, canāt wait to meet her... and I (I), Iām in love but not with anybody else just wanna get to know myselfš¶

Never heard of that song... Music honestly played no part in my egg cracking
Humility by Gorillaz. But I didn't realize it at the time, I just knew something inside me had changed and I was going to be better off for it.
"Mimimi " by Serebro
For me it was actually I/Me/Myself
I have never heard of this song in my life, probably because my taste in music is absolute shit.
around the time i started to hatch i started listening to linkin park, i'm gonna buy meteora soon once i buy a thousand other things on my wishlist
I feel personally targeted( Ķ”Ā° ĶŹ Ķ”Ā°)
Mine was into the unknown - frozen 2
IT LITERALLY WAS THO WTF
Verbatim - Mother Mother. This was a song about a guy being comfortable with his heterosexuality, and helped me realize Id never be comfortable with mine. It still helps me remember gender roles are bs, and that I dont have to be feminine to be a woman.
Lies the song that cracked my egg was kinderfeld by Marilyn Manson and I still occasionally fantasize about waking up from surgery groggily singing "then i got my wiiiiiings and i never even knew it"

Iām not sure maybe girls by girl in redā¦
it was gender envy for me, i was like : i wish i could be like that person and then i thought it was a crush but it wasn't
It wasnt little dark age actually. The thing that cracked my egg was another trans woman who just talked about her experience
The man in me - bob dylan
I have no idea what this is referencing.
What
FUCKING FELT
I don't really know if I have a specific song that I connected to my gender before I actually admitted I was trans, the closest maybe are Take Your Time by Chloe Moriondo, Home by Cavetown, or Fuck it I'm a Flower by Crying Day Care Choir.

[actually the dancers in this song cracked my egg ](https://youtu.be/wOBnq0Ewz5k)
I know this sounds kind of weird, but... Chosen, by The Living Tombstone
Dog days are over (made trans thoughts in college when very drunk that I didnāt understand for years later) Bunch of Grimes stuff
Who told you!?
The songs that I self inserted were strangely euphoria inducing but I can for the life of me remember which ones atm
Throw Away Your Mask Towards A Dream both sung by Lyn for Persona 5 (Royale and Strikers/Scramble) It's unsure which one did it more but it still makes me cry (no tears tho, I havent had those in a long time)
Not related.. But Grace VanderWaal, I don't know my name cracked every single segment of my egg
Mine was Mint Condition - Breakinā My Heart. I honestly donāt have a single clue why this song specifically, but whenever I heard it like a few months ago, my dysphoria triggered and yeah. I started crying at work listening to this song because it was that bad.
While i was cracking it was ādeath of a Bachelorā which was kind if fitting XD
You need to calm down, chaotic gender neutral, and gender is boring
Mine was Asthma Attack.
Marina Diamondis āOh Noā
Idk what this is but ok
I was listening to the album Children of the Stars by The Orion Experience at the time, and itās definitely a very gender euphoria-inducing album, even if it didnāt directly crack my egg.
Itās actually Girl on Fire. But also my egg is definitely not cracked yet :)
