✨ An Anthem for the LGBTQ+ Community
"The Village" is a heartfelt, moving song by Wrabel that serves as an anthem for the LGBTQ+ community. It addresses feelings of isolation and rejection experienced when exploring one's identity and sexuality, specifically in the context of societal and familial pressures.
✨ Challenging Societal Norms Through Song
The song dismantles the stigmas attached with being different or deviating from what is considered 'normal' by society. The songwriter empathizes with those who are judged or treated differently because they identify as LGBTQ+. He sends a powerful message: there's absolutely nothing wrong with you if you're part of this community or struggle with your identity; instead, it's society ('the village') whose outlook needs to change.
Throughout its verses, "The Village" brings up how people from older generations might not understand these struggles - parents often tell their children that it's just a phase while grandparents could be too frail to cope shaking age-old beliefs regarding gender norms and sexual identities.
Moreover, "The Village" also touches upon religious themes where many from the church see homosexuality as a sin. It counters such misguided view using compassion and understanding wherein it views every life has its own worth more than any religious texts (like Bible) decreeing otherwise.
Lastly it offers comfort saying there was never anything wrong them but rather within societies where intolerance lies hidden under polite faces ('they stare'), gossip runs rampant causing discomfort for individuals trying hard to conform('rumors follow you'), only finding solitude when alone away from judging eyes ('one day shelter')
Despite the pain described throughout the song - rest assured that empathy doesn't lack in abundance here : Wrabel holds out an olive branch – offering soothing words laced into melody promising everyone feeling lost , alienated amidst acceptance battles fought daily ... They aren’t alone!
✨ Lessons of Self-worth and Acceptance
- You are not alone in your experiences even though at times it may feel like no one understands you.
- There is nothing wrong with exploring your identity and sexuality - don't let societal norms or pressures dictate who you are.
- Religious beliefs or texts shouldn't devalue a person's worth. Every life is precious irrespective of one's sexual orientation or gender identity.
- Do not indulge in self-doubt or feel guilty because of how others perceive you. You're valued, cherished for who you are!
