maeve noiré - dress-coded lyrics

Loading...

i wore a hoodie, pants pulled tight
trying to hide, trying to do right
but they stared, they pointed, they called me out
every outfit judged, every move full of doubt

popular girls in crop tops and heels
wearing what they want, no one questions how it feels
but i cover myself, try to be unseen
still caught in the spotlight, trapped in between

dress coded, dress coded
every inch of me under attack
dress coded, dress coded
no matter what i wear, they take it back
i’m just trying to be mе, not your display;
still, i fight your rules every day

yеarbook picture, dress on for one day
just trying to look pretty, not show too much, i say
one teacher’s eyes, crossing every line;
meanwhile, he lets the others wear whatever’s fine

big chest, curves i tried to hide
hoodies became my armor, my only guide
no comfort, no freedom, every choice critiqued
all because i was different, all because i was me
dress coded, dress coded
every inch of me under attack
dress coded, dress coded
no matter what i wear, they take it back
i’m just trying to be me, not your display;
still, i fight your rules every day

why judge the skin i’m in?
why s+xualize what’s not yours to spin?
i’m not a lesson, not a shame;
i’m a person, not a name

“they called me out for covering myself, while letting others flaunt
no matter what i wore, i was never enough for them.”

dress coded, dress coded
every inch of me under attack
dress coded, dress coded
no matter what i wear, they take it back
i’m reclaiming me, my body, my say;
i won’t be your lesson, i won’t fade away

i’m not a distraction, just moving through the sp+ce;
your lingering eyes can’t help but trace
some have what others don’t, it’s plain to see;
i wear my confidence, my own body, free
