Stigmatized

The Calling--Camino Palmero

Aaron:We were talking about gay marriages with someone who helped write
some of the song. One of the reasons why they're so few and far between,
is because they're looked on as so bizarre.
I was also thinking about interracial or interfaith relationships.
If I give up on you I give up on me
If we fight what's true, will we ever be
Even if God himself and the faith I knew
Shouldn't hold me back, shouldn't keep me from you
Tease me, by holding out your hand
Then leave me, or take me as I am
And live our lives, stigmatized
I can feel the blood rushing through my veins
When I hear your voice, driving me insane
Hour after hour day after day
Every lonely night that I sit and pray
Tease me, by holding out your hand
Then leave me, or take me as I am
And live our lives, stigmatized
We live our lives on different sides,
But we keep together you and I
Just live our lives, stigmatized
Alex:Stigmatized is pretty much an ode to all the people
who are outcast whether it's in high school or life or whatnot,
it's just kind of being looked at differently or being stigmatized.
Rejected in that way. I had that in high school and I was the nerd or
the one in the corner that no one really talked to and was kind of the weirdo.
Except all the ladies, I think I dated every girl in my high school.
I think that added to all the guys not wanting to be my friend.
We'll live our lives, we'll take the punches every day
We'll live our lives I know we're gonna find our way
I believe in you
Even if no one understands
I believe in you, and I don't really give a damn
If we're stigmatized
We live our lives on different sides
But we keep together you and I
We live our lives on different sides,
We're gonna live our lives
Gotta live our lives
We're gonna live our lives
We're gonna live our lives, Gonna live our lives, Stigmatized
