Psychologically infantile; forever a victim.

Girls Like Girls by Hayley Kiyoko.



Stealing kisses from your mrs, doesn't make you freak out
Got you fussing, got you worried, scared to let your guard down

Boys, boys
Tell the neighbors I'm not sorry if I'm breaking walls down
Building your girl's second story, ripping all your floors out

 Saw your face, heard your name, gotta get with you
Girls like girls like boys do, nothing new

Isn't this why we came? Gotta get with you
Girls like girls like boys do, nothing new
Girls like girls like boys do, nothing new

Always gonna steal your thunder, watch me like a dark cloud
On the move collecting numbers, Imma take your girl out

We will be everything that we'd ever need
Don't tell me, tell me what I feel
I'm real and I don't feel like boys
I'm real and I don't feel like boys

Saw your face, heard your name, gotta get with you
Girls like girls like boys do, nothing new

Isn't this why we came? Gotta get with you
Girls like girls like boys do, nothing new
Girls like girls like boys do, nothing new

I've been crossing all the lines, all the lines
Kissed your girls and made you cry, boys

Saw your face, heard your name, gotta get with you
Girls like girls like boys do, nothing new

Isn't this why we came? Tell me if you feel it too!
Tell me, girls like girls like boys do, nothing new
Girls like girls like boys do, nothing new

I've commented on "LGBT in distress" before when it comes to their relationships in music videos, as well as anything remotely sexually conservative. I don't what Ms. Kiyoko's sexual orientation is, but if she's straight this is another Ally attempt to make the public sympathize with people who have same-sex attraction. Straights aka Allies tend to be the majority of the activists when it comes to pushing for "equality."

In saying that I really like the production values of the video. Really nice cinematography; really like the color hues - gives that signature (is it signature?) California-esque feel to it; nice camera angles. The actress playing the lesbian/bi is mighty cute. The title card is a straight-out copy of Sophia Coppola's The Bling Ring. The synths in some parts is a nice touch.
