...is that *not* what they were written to mean?
I know that the lyrics "my two legs are broken but look at me dance" from inertia by AJR probably mean something completely different
But as a disabled person I see them this way
My two legs are broken, they're both broken, but I have to dance, look at me do it, even though I'm in pain I have to dance
To me, the line describes perfectly the anger/sorrow having invisible/undiagnosed physical disabilities in a society that's unsupportive and inconsiderate brings
Even though I am in horrible pain when I'm doing anything that's not sitting down, I still walk to and from school every day, I still have to go out
I still have to dance
#ive listened to inertia WAAAY too many times in the last few weeks#and the only way i ever interpreted that line was “yeah my legs are broken but i have no choice but to dance”#as in im always feeling physically or mentally bad#but i have to keep pretending everything's fine#because what other choice do i have#ajr makes me feel so seen and i love them for it#ajr
