Thanks to the music community that is Genius.com we now have the full lyrics to the track “Garden Shed,” the song that lit up the internet just a few hours ago due to Tyler’s alleged admission of being gay. The song features Estelle on the chorus and bridge, while the second verse in particular seems to address Tyler’s suppressed homosexual desires.

As Genius annotators lucidluxury and IJUSTLEFTEARF note, the line “Garden shed for the garcons / Them feelings I was guarding” supposedly addresses “the garden shed as a metaphor for a closet, which derives from the phrase ‘coming out the closet.'” The word, “garçons,” meanwhile translates to “boys” in French.

Other telling lines include “Thought it would be like the Frank poof, gone / But, it’s still going on,” which lucidluxury reads as: “Frank famously came out on his Tumblr in 2012. Here, along with the line before, Tyler is saying that he thought this was a phase and that it would ‘poof, gone,’ just like Frank infamously disappeared after releasing Channel Orange. Actually though, ‘it’s still going on’ and Tyler has recognized that it hasn’t disappeared as he thought it would. These lines could be showing Tyler’s struggle to accept himself after suppressing his feelings for boys for so long.”
