Idle Idol

[BPM: 124 (slower, melancholic but still pop)
Key in D Minor]
[Intro – distant, almost numb]
I got everything I wanted…
Why don’t I feel anything?


[Verse 1]
I played the part, I played it well
Built a heaven, lived in hell
Every mirror knows my face
But I don’t recognize the shape


[Pre-Chorus]
All the love I fabricated
Never felt like I could take it
If I’m everything they need
Why am I invisible to me?


[Chorus – aching, floaty]
I’m an idle idol
Standing in the light
Everybody wants me
No one sees inside
I gave up my real life
For a perfect lie
Now I’m just an idol…
Left behind


[Verse 2]
Every moment, counterfeit
Every touch, I faked a bit
All the dreams I tried to chase
Led me to an empty place


[Pre-Chorus]
All the love I decorated
Never something I could stay in
If I disappear tonight
Would they even realize?


[Chorus]
I’m an idle idol
Standing in the light
Everybody wants me
No one sees inside
I gave up my real life
For a perfect lie
Now I’m just an idol…
Left behind


[Bridge – emotional peak, raw]
I could’ve been somebody real
I could’ve learned how to feel
But I was busy being seen
Now I don’t know what I mean


[Final Chorus – fuller, more desperate]
I’m an idle idol
Dying in the light
Everybody loves me
But it’s all a lie
I gave up my real life
For a perfect life
Now I’m just an idol…
Goodnight
