Cope And Seethe

Yeah, I Had To Write A Song About It

"Cope And Seethe" is a soulful yet defiant anthem pushing back against the idea that womanhood is something that can be claimed or redefined at will. The song channels the frustration and resilience of women who refuse to be erased, standing firm against those who attempt to rewrite biological and historical truths.

Lyrically, it calls out the appropriation of female identity, exposing the contradictions and entitlement behind it. The verses highlight the dismissal and gaslighting that women face, while the chorus is anthemic and unwavering, asserting that womanhood is not something to be taken or claimed.

The bridge brings a raw emotional moment, reinforcing that being a woman is about lived experience, struggle, and history—not just self-perception. Then, the breakdown hits hard with "Cope, seethe, dilate", flipping a well-known phrase into a mocking, triumphant dismissal, showing that the movement pushing back isn’t backing down.

A h/t to the great MaryCate Delvey.
