The title track of Against Me!'s Searching for a Former Clarity album finds Tom Gabel discussing his gender dysphoria. And in the journal you kept by the side of your bed You wrote nightly an aspiration of developing as an author Confessing childhood secrets of dressing up in women's clothes Compulsions you never knew the reasons to The song was released seven years prior to Gabel coming out as transgender and becoming Laura Jane Grace.
Gabel recalled to Kerrang: "I completely ripped off the vocal cadence for this song from The Streets song 'Fit But You Know It.' I literally wrote the lyrics singing along to it and then came up with my own chords."
