[A STRANGE WORLD – STREET DOLLS]
[INTRO – MUSIC BOX | CHILD CHOIR | LOW REVERB]
[wind chimes]
[distorted nursery melody]
[whispered breaths]
[LILY – whisper]
Welcome to a strange world
Where girls are born in cages
[VERSE 1 – LILY]
They dressed me up in white lace lies
Said be gentle, smile, don’t ask why
They taught me shame before my name
Called my silence grace, called my pain faith
[soft footsteps]
[vintage vinyl crackle]
[PRE-CHORUS – MAY]
They want me quiet, soft and small
A rib, a shadow, nothing at all
If I obey, I’m heaven-blessed
If I resist, I’m labeled less
[rising pad]
[subtle heartbeat]
[CHORUS – ALL]
This is a strange world, painted pure
Where pain is holy, love’s a cure
They built a throne from Eden’s bones
And called submission being good
[stacked vocals]
[detuned synth sparkle]
[VERSE 2 – MAY]
They said be Eva, stay in line
Bite the fruit but close your eyes
Carry guilt like it’s a crown
Smile pretty while they burn you down
[sugar-sweet synth]
[deep bass pulse]
[PRE-CHORUS – MAY]
They want my body, not my voice
My silence is their prize
But I learned how to bite back
I don’t bleed just to behave
[drop cut]
[breath before impact]
[CHORUS – ALL]
This is a strange world, dressed in pink
Where boys are kings and girls just sink
They judge our skin, our lips, our tone
Then ask why we don’t feel at home
[choir layers]
[reverb tails]
[RAP – HANA | DARK | MYTHOLOGICAL | STRIPPED BEAT]
[808 minimal]
[low choir drones]
[Greek lyre plucks]
Eva learned to lower her eyes
Lilith learned how to survive
They wrote my sin in holy ink
Then asked me why I wouldn’t sink
You want a rib, I want a spine
You want control, I draw the line
I don’t kneel, I don’t behave
I wasn’t born to be your Eva-made
[breathy ad-libs]
[distorted doubles]
[reverse riser]
[FINAL CHORUS – ALL]
This is a strange world, false and frail
Where freedom comes with broken nails
They wanted Eva on her knees
But I chose Lilith — I chose me
[full instrumentation]
[anthem backing vocals]
[OUTRO – MUSIC BOX | BREATHS | FADE OUT]
[music box slowing down]
[child voices humming]
[LILY – soft]
They wanted obedience
[MAY – calm]
I wanted truth
[HANA – low]
I wanted wings
[silence]
