the queerbaiting song - matt fishel lyrics

it’s so passé
it’s so passé
oh, here we go again
it’s so passé

the label got him featured on the cover of the nation’s
best*selling g*y magazine
two weeks before the first single hit the air
it went top ten (top ten)
twenty*four hours before the album drops
and his team reveal to the world
“he’s never dated a guy, but he might”
and then the album came out
eleven songs about girls

now the press is obsessed
’cause, oh my god, he’s wearing dresses for gigs
they’re asking, “what could it mean?”
is he non*binary or g*y?
he won’t comment either way
is it inspiring or fake?
what a scene

all this carefully staged behaviour
a cynical attempt at courting our favour?
with subtle hints and a wink
some people try anything
to make a dollar from a tired conceit
stop queerbaiting for press
we can all see what you’re doing
stop queerbaiting for cl!cks
’cause everyone can see through it
oh, it’s cute how those tables have turned
now you’ve seen that we sell
now everybody’s seeking that authentic appeal
but if it’s not your truth then it’s not your story to steal (ah*ah*ah*ah)
yeah, if it’s not your truth then it’s not your story to steal

oh, here they go again
(it’s so passé)

he thinks it makes him real quirky to maintain the mystique
to keep ’em guessing and imagining
with stale advice that he gets from misguided execs
who think the goal is to entice us in
by whetting appetites, implying storylines
under the guise of credibility
with no follow*through, it ain’t legit
they’ll allude but not commit
can’t alienate their vast majority (woo!)

they tease queer themes to try to tempt you in
to listening to their song or watching their show
but if they cannot commit
go all the way with it
well, there are plenty other places we can go
acting ambiguously to get a foot in the door
when there’s no reason to feign or be aloof anymore
don’t dip your toes in the water from the edge
if you don’t wanna get wet (wet, wet, wet, wet)
it’s so passé

it’s so passé

stop queerbaiting for press
we can all see what you’re doing
stop queerbaiting for cl!cks
’cause everyone can see through it (through it)
oh, it’s cute how those tables have turned
now you’ve seen that we sell
now everybody’s seeking that authentic appeal
but if it’s not your truth then it’s not your story to steal (ah*ah*ah*ah)
yeah, if it’s not your truth then it’s not your story to steal
it’s so passé
oh, here they go again
it’s so passé
oh, here they go again
it’s so passé
oh, here they go again
it’s so passé
