[Intro]
(synth swells like fog rolling under streetlights… distant walkie crackle)
In the quiet of Hawkins… the lights start to lie.
[Verse 1 – punk style]
Woke up in this town where the trees keep secrets
Mom’s screaming in the kitchen, dad’s already left it
Skateboard in my grip like it’s the only thing real
Chasing ghosts through the arcade, pretending I can’t feel
The crack in the wall getting bigger every night
Calling my name like it knows I’ll bite
I’m not your good girl, I’m not your sweet little thing
I’m the spark in the dark with a switchblade ring
[Pre-Chorus]
They told me behave, told me stay in my lane
But the lane’s on fire and I like the flame
[Chorus – punk, big & anthemic]
In the Upside Down
Where the lost get crowned
I’m screaming so loud
They can’t drag me down
Heart like a live wire, veins full of fight
In this stranger’s night
I’m the rebel, the freak
The one they can’t break, can’t leash, can’t keep
Stranger things happen when the outcast ignites
We don’t run from the dark — we dance in its light
[Verse 2 – rap style]
Ayo, pink-streak princess, I’m the Barbie they fear
Eleven in the front, but the bars right here
Mind Flayer tryna slither in my frequencies
I flip the script, turn his ass to a memory
Demogorgon at the door? I greet him with a grin
Then I grind my board across his face like “try again”
Vecna with the clock and the vines in his grip
I spit faster than his hands — watch him choke on this drip
They call it the Upside, I call it my playground
My crew’s in the basement, we don’t play around
Dustin on the walkie, Mike with the brains
Lucas with the aim — and I’m the one bringing pain
Flicker, flicker, lights out, bitch I bring the thunder
While you hiding in the fog I’m out here making wonders
You want a fight? Come find me where the portal glows
But beware the queen — I don’t do what I’m told
[Bridge – raw punk emotion]
And if the darkness wins and my people start to fall
I’ll carve your name in the wall, I’ll answer every call
Loyalty’s my weapon, betrayal’s my gasoline
In this twisted little town I’m nobody’s fucking queen…
I’m the storm.
[Final Chorus – explosive, layered]
In the Upside Down (Upside Down!)
Where the lost get crowned (get crowned!)
We’re screaming so loud (so loud!)
They can’t drag us down (nah!)
Heart like a grenade — BOOM — ready to blow
In this stranger’s show
We’re the rebels, the freaks
With the fire they can’t defeat
Stranger things… but we made them ours
In the shadows we rise — eternal scars
[Outro – fading synth + distant skateboard wheels]
Flicker… flicker…
Yeah the lights are calling…
But this rebel ain’t falling…
Upside Down…
But my world’s right side up.
