meaning of "in the hold in the wall"

Hi LS

A 'hold' can be something similar to a safe (i.e. some type of iron or steel box used to store valuables -- usually to prevent theft). So "hold in the wall" could be a reference to a wall safe.

Of course, it might also be a typo and possibly it was simply a "hole in the wall".

I have no idea what a "drag wall" is. Maybe someone else will.

I'm guessing a "drag wall" should have been "brag wall" which is a section of a wall dedicated to hanging diplomas, awards and the likes. Or maybe since it's about Elton John...maybe "drag wall" is a section of a wall for hanging female-looking clothing worn by him? I guess I'd need more info to make a better guess.

Hi, Amy and Diverhank

Thank you for you elaborating on my question

lost_soul,
The author is definitely a cross-dresser (and perhaps a homosexual). He used the term "I'm out of the closet, I been lying my a$$ off"...Out of the closet is the term used when someone stops hiding the fact that he is not what he appears to be, like being normal instead of being a drag queen (cross-dresser) or a homosexual. The poem also refers to cutting off his balls off thus denying his manhood. What kinds of literature have you been reading ? -- Very interesting but definitely not "common" . Lying his a$$ off means taking a lot of effort in lying about what he's not.

Thanks, Diverhank

Now I understand what drag queen and drag wall mean
You know in textbooks on English they dont explain these things

PS: I been reading (or better listening to) Eminem

I have never heard an Emimem song... ...musicwise, I'm stuck in the 70's.
