THE UPSIDE REBEL

(synth swells like fog rolling under streetlights… distant walkie crackle)

In the quiet of Hawkins… the lights start to lie.

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

They told me behave, told me stay in my lane

But the lane’s on fire and I like the flame

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

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

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.

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

Flicker… flicker…

Yeah the lights are calling…

But this rebel ain’t falling…

Upside Down…

But my world’s right side up.
