"The world in my hands" by Ice Nine Kills is based upon "Edward Scissorhands", but it describes gender dysphoria perfectly | What gender dysphoria feels like ("The world in my hands" by Ice Nine Kills):

How'd I end up here?
So uncomfortable
I'm a stranger in this body
The world's an ugly place
And that's a fact that fate has brought me
[...]
A deadly touch spreads an itch that can't be scratched
Sometimes I wish it would all just fade to black
I can't go back; Now I'm lost on my own
In search of something real
How cruel to be exposed
To everything that I can't touch but still feel
Lost on my own
They'll never understand
How tragic to suppose

How it's gender euphoria:

- They'll never understand. The world's an ugly place. We all have experiences with transphobia or at least are scared of it.
- It's cruel to be exposed to everything that we can't touch but still feel. The longing, the yearning is one of the worst parts about dysphoria. I see a woman and I get gender envy. I look at yuri and I wanna be a lesbian even more. I long for it, but I can't have it.
- The disconnection from one's body. I've never really felt like my body was mine. I thought it was mine because everyone told me it was and it was logical. Dysphoria and disconnection was all I knew, so I couldn't know something was wrong. Just thought it was normal. But it still felt like someone else's body, someone else's voice. I felt like a stranger in my body.
- You can't go back once your egg cracked. You'll know that something's wrong, you can't find excuses anymore.
- I have supportive people. But to many (sometimes also to me) it feels like we're on our own.
- Dysphoria sometimes feels like being lost somewhere with no way to get anywhere else, to where you want to be.
- The search for something real. Dysphoria csn sometimes feel like depersonalisation or derealization. Like disconnection from reality. Dissociation.

The song fits so well!

In the first sentence I meant dysphoria, npt euphoria. Sorry for that!
