[earbuds click - stage lights flicker out] 또 다시... another day... [Verse 1 – Slow, melancholic shoe-gaze] Grey uniform, grey walls, grey day, minimum wage, got nothing to say Their Daughter’s posters on the wall Her glittered face, – fresh debut smile Almost my age yet worlds away, She practices dancing every day. Missed my chance, 너무 늦었어, too late now... just clean some more [earbuds music gets slightly louder] 피곤해... so tired of this... 언제까지? How long like this? [Pre-Chorus 1 – Building, reality starting to blur, K-Pop music bleeding through stronger] The mop moves circles on the floor, but in my head… there’s something more. [kick enters faintly, like a heartbeat] I can almost feel it, feel it – the lights… the crowd… the heat. [breath catches; synth swell rising] Just for a moment… let me be 하나... 둘... GO! [Chorus 2 – K-Pop explosion, bigger, fully committed] 무대 위에 빛나 – 센터에서 나야 나! Spotlight on my shining face, finally where I belong! A thousand lightsticks wave for me, (Just for you!) (Just for you!) (Just for you!) (Just for you!) (Just for you!) (Just for you!) (Just for you!) (Just for you!) [Verse 2 – Same melancholy shoegaze, deeper longing] Front door opens, trainee's home, designer bag, new nails, new phone Moves past me to her bright room doesn't even see me standing there Practice, studio, camera lights, backup dancers, debut nights Everything I want its hers, 어떡해, what's there to do? [heavy sigh] I push the mop, reset the scene Close my eyes… turn into me The me – I want to be~ [Pre-Chorus 2 – Shorter, more urgent, fast built, desperate pull into fantasy] [kick drum pounds like heartbeat] The grey is crushing, can't stay here– 무대로 가자, disappear! [synths rising sharply] I don't care if it's not real, I just need to feel, to feel! 하나... 둘... GO! [Chorus 2 – K-Pop explosion, bigger, fully committed] 무대 위에 빛나 – 센터에서 나야 나! Spotlight on my shining face, finally where I belong! 팬들아 소리 질러 – 내 이름을 불러줘! A million streams, the comments flood, (We Love you!) (We Love you!) (We Love you!) (We Love you!) [music warps between K-pop and lo-fi, fighting for dominance] The beat says 'shine~' the mop says 'clean' [Bridge – fantasy glitching, K-pop gets dissonant, tempo wavers] Wait… The crowd – their faces blur, all blank. The lights burn hotter, closer too bright, 너무 뜨거워. It’s… too much! [glitch stutter on the beat, pitch drops] 무대 위에… 아직… 있어? Am I still here? [breath rising, panic entering the tone] My hands are wet sweat or just... soap water? [her voice splits – one bright idol, one tired maid] I don’t know anymore. 몰라… 몰라… [music warps between K-pop and lo-fi, fighting for dominance] The beat says 'shine~' the mop says 'clean' (Oh are you?) (Oh are you?) Spotlight on my shining face, finally where I belong! (In a grey world… doing chores) (nobody knows your name) [her voice, soft, uncertain, doubled as two selves] 꿈에서 깨지 마... Don't wake me up... [earbuds click - stage lights flicker out] 또 다시... another day... [final whispered ad-lib, dark, resigned] (그래… 듣지 마… 그냥 해…)
