not sure if true but I found someone said this:

"" From an interview:
[I’m really interested in where the song ‘I Was A Boy’, off the new record, came from]

"It came out of just being very much in love, and being very, very happy about being in love. You know, that very clear feeling of being loved, in all its totality, and how that – to me – kind of blurs out the significance of sex. I was recalling that feeling I had when I was a child, before I was aware of having or belonging to any sort of sex. I was very much like a boy when I was a kid; I didn’t care about what I was. I remember when belonging to a certain sex started to matter and how sad it made me feel. You know, like how many rights and possibilities it has taken away from me. So the song is really about social constructions of gender, and about how love makes you feel that it doesn’t really matter at all."

I think the last sentence sums it up quite nicely! ""

Absolutely amazing. I love El Perro Del Mar's voice and the arrangements are superb, so haunting. One of the best things I've ever heard.

I don't understand the words, but they make it all the more intriguing. I have my own interpretation. This song is really good!

Didn't you know
I was a boy
Before you came

I was a boy
Didn't you know
Before you came

Didn't you know
I was my own
Before you came

I was my own
Didn't you know
Before you came

I was a boy
I was a boy
Before you came
It didn't show
I was a boy
Before you came

I was a boy
It didn't show
Before you came
Yes I was a sir
Before the fire
Before your work

I was a boy
I was a boy
Then I was your girl

Yes I was a sir (I was undiscovered)
Before the fire
Before your work

I was a boy (My best friend was my brother)
I was a boy
Then I was your girl

I was born a sailor
(I was a boy)
(I was a boy)
(Before your work)
Dream what I was made of

I was born a soldier
The sea rolled past my shoulder
I ruled land and water
(I was a boy)
(I was a boy)
(Before your work)
Unlike no one's daughter
I was undiscovered
(I was a boy)
(I was a boy)
(Before your work)
My best friend's my brother

I was born a sailor
Dream what I was made of
I was born a soldier
The sea rolled past my shoulder
I ruled land and water
And my best friend was my brother

She met a great love just after Pale Fire was completed and just gave birth to her first child a month ago. :))

I've always had my personal interpretation of this song about gender identity, but I'm pretty sure that Sarah wrote it about her loss of sexual innocence. I think it's about that one time in childhood when the switch flips and you suddenly realize and understand that you are attracted to someone.

Her voice is interrupted by some silly sounds. This song would be way better if they had just focused on her beautiful voice.
