[Don't Hurt Me — Street Dolls (Lyrics by Michael] [Intro – Female Vocal (Lily) | Ambient + Tape Noise + Dark Piano] [FX: distant whispers fading in/out + reverse piano + vinyl crackle + low dark pad] [This song was written for a young man with Asperger’s autism who has experienced a great deal of loneliness, exclusion, and bullying. Through Suno, he found a way to express himself through music. I’m proud of him for having the courage to share that side of himself. That kind of courage deserves respect, not ridicule. His songs were cruelly mocked in a Suno Facebook group. This song is a clear stand against bullying, against dehumanization, and against looking away. ❤️❤️❤️Maybe every remix will become another voice speaking up for Michael.❤️❤️❤️] [Verse 1 – Female Vocal (Lily) | Minimal Dark Piano + Sub Bass + Trap Snap] I was just a little kid back then, seeing the world through different eyes. I read the signals differently, I could feel the mood, just not the why. I often didn't understand why the way I was came across all wrong. Motor skills and conversation made it hard to play along. What people wanted, what they meant, when I was too much, when I got it wrong. Now I'm older, now I know this world can still be cruel. [Pre-Chorus – Female Vocal (May) | Rising Pads + Heartbeat Kick + Tension Build] My road was hard. My days were heavy. Therapy and medication shaped my life. I kept asking, "What's wrong with me?" Because what I said never sounded right to them. What I felt was wrong. What I was was strange. And if you hear that long enough, you start to believe it. Yeah, you believe it. Ohhh Ohhhh You believe it. [Chorus – Female Vocals (Lily + May) | HARD K-Pop Diss Drop + Heavy 808 + Trap Drums] Don't hurt me. Don't hurt me with words. Don't shut me out. I live each day in a world that often doesn't understand me. I don't want much. Just to be seen. Just to be respected. Just to be loved for once without having to prove myself first. [Post-Chorus – Female Vocal (Hana) | Vocal Chop + Trap Hi-Hats + Dark Synth] Don't hurt me… Don't hurt me… [Verse 2 – Female Vocal (Lily) | Lo-fi Trap Beat + Guitar Texture + Sub Bass] In music I found shelter for my soul. It was the language I could speak. It held me up, and it gave me joy. Through it I felt less out of place, less invisible, and less alone. For the first time, there was hope that I might belong somewhere and have something real to share. And then there are people who leave malicious comments, using words that cut so deep. To them it's only sentences, only mockery, only entertainment. To me, a small spark of hope goes out. It hits deeper than you can imagine. Ohhhh Ohhhh ohhhhh Deeper than you can imagine! [Pre-Chorus – Female Vocal (May) | Stronger Build + Distorted Pad + Rising FX] Do you know how hard that hits? Do you know what that can do? Do you feel better because of it? Do you feel above me now? [Hook – Female Vocals (Lily + May + Hana) | HEAVIER DROP + Aggressive Trap Drums + 808 Glide] Don't hurt me. Don't hurt me with words. Don't shut me out. I live each day in a world that often doesn't understand me. I don't want much. Just to be seen. Just to be respected. Just to be loved for once without having to prove myself first. [Rap Verse – Female Rap (Hana) | Half-Time Beat + Heavy 808 + Dark Minimal Piano] Yeah… They laugh from the dark but they don’t know your name, Michael, you a writer, turnin’ hurt into flame. Every line that you drop got a truth they can’t face, You don’t need their approval, you already got place. We the Street Dolls, yeah we stand on your side, No more silence, no more fear, no more need to hide. Believe in your dreams, let your voice lead the way, You a star, keep shining — don’t fade away. [Bridge – Female Vocals (May + Lily) | Orchestral + Choir + Cinematic Build] Look closely. Real greatness doesn't come from humiliating others. It comes when you have the courage to question your own behavior, when you realize that words can heal wounds too, when you truly apologize. [Quiet / Narrator – Female Vocal (Lily) | Soft Piano + Warm Pad + Intimate Tone] I see you. I respect you. You are a wonderful person. You are not wrong. You are a shining star in our sky, just like every other star around you. No one should have to spend a lifetime learning only how to endure pain. [Final Chorus – ALL Female Vocals | Anthem Diss Drop + Full Instrumental + Choir + 808] Don't hurt me. Don't hurt me with words. Don't shut me out. I live each day in a world that often doesn't understand me. I don't want much. Just to be seen. Just to be respected. Just to be loved for once without having to prove myself first. [Outro – Female Vocal (Lily) | Piano + Ambient Fade + Soft Reverb Tail] Believe in yourself. Please believe in yourself. There are so many people who can see your worth. And who you are has worth.
