about

’Take Up Space' is a surf punk banger calling for girls, gays and theys to take up space this summer! It’s an anthem for those who are negatively impacted by patriarchal oppression. It’s a call for us to reclaim our bodies and take ownership of ourselves. We want to live without fear, we want to live freely, we want to take up space!

lyrics

TAKE UP SPACE!

I don’t wanna stay at home
Home with the walls to keep me safe,
Saving myself from the creeps today
Days in summer made for for me
I mean, I’d sunbathe in the fields
Feel like my nipples need UV
Then I’d meet my date, walk home late
Not hold my keys like wolverine

Do you ever
Feel unsafe?
Do you wanna
Take up space?

Do you?
TAKE UP SPACE
Wanna?
TAKE UP SPACE
Do you?
TAKE UP SPACE
Oh do you wanna?

I’d never cross the road at night
Never text a friend I’m still alive
I would hitchhike to the coast
Coasting along, travelling alone
Owning my body, not giving a fuck
Never getting told that I’m too much
Sit across three seats, argue with police,
Go topless in the supermarket

Do you ever
Feel unsafe?
Do you wanna
Take up space?

Do you?
TAKE UP SPACE
Wanna?
TAKE UP SPACE
Do you?
TAKE UP SPACE
Oh do you wanna?

Do you?
Wanna?
Do you?
Oh do you wanna?

Do you?
TAKE UP SPACE
Wanna?
TAKE UP SPACE
Do you?
TAKE UP SPACE
Oh do you wanna?

TAKE UP SPACE!
