Embracing Diversity and Self-Love in 'Dragometry'
In 'Dragometry,' Derrick Barry, featuring Chi Chi DeVayne and Naysha Lopez, delivers a powerful anthem celebrating diversity, self-acceptance, and the vibrant world of drag. The song's title cleverly combines 'drag' and 'geometry,' symbolizing the various shapes and sizes that people come in, especially within the drag community. The lyrics emphasize that beauty and worth are not confined to a single standard but are found in the unique qualities of each individual.
The chorus, 'We are the girls of dragometry, all shapes and sizes are what we bring,' sets the tone for the song's inclusive message. It highlights the idea that everyone, regardless of their physical appearance, has something valuable to offer. The repeated reference to 'rectangle girls of the world' serves as a metaphor for the different forms and identities that people embody. This metaphor extends to the lines, 'You can be square, hun, but don't be a nun,' encouraging listeners to embrace their true selves rather than conforming to societal expectations.
The song also touches on the theme of self-love and body positivity. Lines like 'You may be shaped like a bumblebee, but you're beautiful, girl, just love your body' remind listeners that beauty comes in all forms. The mention of 'well-rounded girls' and being 'sharp as a knife' further reinforces the idea that everyone has unique strengths and qualities. By urging listeners to 'get out of the box' and not be 'so uptight,' the song promotes a message of liberation and self-expression, core values in the drag community.
'Dragometry' is more than just a catchy tune; it's a celebration of individuality and a call to embrace one's true self. Through its playful yet profound lyrics, the song encourages listeners to appreciate their unique qualities and to celebrate the diversity that makes each person special.
