Discover the story of the song > Soggy Rice – 4Lung

The protagonist tells a story about her dad not allowing her to have long hair when she was younger because he didn't want her to look like a girl. As she grew older, she started presenting as female and faced criticism from someone at her college. She explained that she makes electronic music. The protagonist then recalls a traumatic experience from her childhood when her dad made her eat her own vomit after gagging on rice. Years later, she has a trigger related to that traumatic experience - soggy rice. This is illustrated when she becomes fearful and anxious after seeing rice on the floor. The lyrics seem to reflect the challenges and traumas the protagonist has faced due to her gender expression and her father's harsh treatment.
