    • For so long Ive obeyedThat feminine decreeIve always containedYour desire to hurt meBut when will I turnAnd cut the world?When will I turn and cut the world?My eyes are coralAbsorbing your dreamsMy skin is a surfaceTo push to extremesMy heart is a recordOf dangerous scenesBut when will I turnAnd cut the world?When will I turn and cut the world?When will I turn and cut the world?When will I turn and cut the world?When will I turn and cut the world?When will I turn and cut the world?

    • I don’t get some of the negative comments here... I’m a traditional heterosexual man who is in an 18 year relationship with a woman I married in 2001 and even I get it. At least I assume... This is NOT a feminist video. Anohni...formally Antony...has gone through a change and this video represents that change. While I admittedly. still struggle with pronouns (I’m going to use he/she)...this video is an internal struggle. She needed to kill her masculine side to be more comfortable in her skin and who she is. It’s holding her back. We all go through struggles of identity. It’s not about women killing men. It is not a feminist song or video. It’s about being who you are verses who you’re trying to be. Can I suggest not engaging with trolls who clearly feed on negative attention?
