Appeal to me Rain outside? That’s your affair Mud looks better everywhere 네가 신발 고를 때 난 한 바퀴 더 돌지 No pants yet? Not my department [Chorus — high Female lead, low Male responses; concise and dry] [Female] Little ritual, little ritual [Male Echo] Little ritual— [Female] No bell, no bark, keep it minimal 눈만 마주치면 넌 먼저 움직여 [Duet] Bowl goes down, door swings wide Serious business every night 말 한마디 없어도 늘 우리 뜻대로 Little ritual, little ritual [Percussion Break — 4 bars, strictly instrumental; hand drums, leash-buckle snaps and chopped marimba fragments; no build-up, ending with a half-bar silence] [Bridge — 6 bars; alternating deadpan Male and Female rap, one dry drum hit after each line] [Male] I never beg. [Female] I never wait. [Male] One quiet stare. [Female] One extra lap. [Male] 밥 앞에서는 가만있어도 네가 먼저 알지. [Female] 문 앞에서는 계속 돌면 결국 따라오지. [Duet] No vote, no veto, no human approval Two small heads, one quiet coup [Final Chorus — 8 bars; full duet with a small circular mixed choir; denser percussion, no EDM drop] [Duet] Little ritual, little ritual No bell, no bark, keep it minimal 눈만 마주치면 넌 먼저 움직여 You move first, little ritual Bowl goes down, door swings wide Same small madness every night 이상하게 매일 우리 뜻대로 흘러가지 Little, little, little ritual [Outro — 4 bars, instrumental only; bowl-set-down thump becomes the final bass hit, leash buckle answers once, crooked marimba ends one note early]
