Milk Teeth – Transparent (Official Video)
Pre-order our new record now: http://smarturl.it/MilkTeeth

This video is a celebratory piece, embracing the power of womxn and non binary / gender non conforming communities and their resilience in the face of adversity. We wanted the video to be representative of people from different lives and show the joy and power present when all these amazing and talented people collaborated.

The people involved in this video are musicians, artists, actors, business owners and executives, drag performers, DJ’s, videographers, educators, interns, illustrators and activists though this only touches the surface of their talents, skills and contributions to the world. It’s now 2020 society need to make space for all gender identities in work places, in positions of power, in circumstances where they are treated as equals and given the respect and voice they deserve. We wanted to lead the way in an industry which is predominantly cis male favoured and where opportunities do not always present equally or to those who deserve them.

I wrote this song trying to come out of the other side of being emotionally abused and gaslit for years, I’ve always believed there is strength and power in numbers - this is why it was so important to include some close friends in the video to remind people to utilise their support networks and embrace their vulnerable times as much as the times they are able to find strength.

-lyrics-

I won't be your silly little girl, do you really think that you’re my world?
Oh no, your eyes stopped seeing
I won’t be your silly little girl, stuck at home thinking there is only you
My number’s been doing the rounds..
I’m not expecting you to take the news at ease, cuz i’ve lost years to dragging round the ball and chain of all your insecurities

Transparent, through the window to the life I played the lead
Transparent, taking back the self esteem you thought that you had, oh...

I won’t be your silly little thing, flaunt insecurities pretend i’ve doing the key
It floated in darkness far from me

I won’t be your silly little girl, cut your claws I won't feed your thirst for power thirst
Oh no, one less life sucked hollow

And I’m not expecting you to take the news at ease, cuz i’ve lost years to dragging round the ball and chain of all your insecurities

Transparent, through the window to the life I played the lead
Transparent, taking back the self esteem you thought that you had, oh...

That girl was me, you’re a reflection of the life I used to lead,
You signed my letters ‘Heather’, but forged goodbyes won’t see me leave this world forever

I won’t be your silly little girl, do you really think that you’re my world?
Oh no, your eyes stopped seeing

Transparent, through the window to the life I played the lead
(once blind, wide open, take back my self esteem, one life, less heartache, my life I play the lead)
Transparent, taking back the self esteem you thought that you had, oh...

I won’t be your silly little girl
Do you really think that you’re my world
My eyes once blind, (now) wide open
