///*****/// [Original lyrics] ************ [SCARLET RIOT] [HURT ME BEAUTIFUL] [Intro- Pulsing synth arpeggios, Distant reversed vocals, a whispered croon] Do you feel it too? The ache underneath the skin, Like we were built to break, Just to begin again? [Verse 1-Glitchy half-time beat, Clean vocal, Subtle autotune shimmer] I counted every fracture like rosary beads. Prayed to the static, got down on my knees. You said “healing’s overrated” I said “so is feeling numb” We wore our damage like couture And called it kingdom come. [Pre-Chorus: Rising synth swell, Palm-muted chugs] So tell me, How are we to know our limits, Or acknowledge our strengths, If every mirror shows a ghost That only learned to breathe through pain? [Chorus: Explosive euphoric drop, Huge layered cleans, Low screams underneath] Cut me open, let me bleed in 4K I wanna feel something real today If suffering’s the only way we grow Then break me, remake me, let me know I’m still alive inside this code. This pain’s the only language I was ever told. So hurt me beautiful... Make it hurt Till I remember what I’m made of. [Verse 2-Trap hats, Djent riffs, Glitch vocal chops] I romanticise the relapse! Wear the trauma like designer! Turn the breakdown to a ballroom, And slow-dance with the fire! You said “heaven’s just a placebo” I said “then let me overdose” We’re both addicted to the low, ‘Cause the high is just a ghost! [Pre-Chorus] So tell me, How are we supposed to know our limits If comfort’s just a cage we never chose? [Chorus: Even bigger, Octave-up gang vocals on last line] Cut me open, let me bleed in 4K! I wanna feel something real today! If suffering’s the only way we grow, Then break me, remake me, let me know I’m still alive inside this code! This pain’s the only language I was ever told So hurt me beautiful... Make it hurt till I remember what I’m made of. [Bridge: Clean guitars, Soaring melody] I stopped running from the hurt. Started wearing it like perfume. Every scar’s a constellation, Guiding me back to my ruin. And yeah, it’s fucked up, But it’s honest, And yeah, it’s toxic, But it’s home. I found religion in the wreckage. Took the pain and built a throne. [Breakdown: Cybergrind chaos, Pitched-down screams, Glitch stutters] GLITCH ME! STITCH ME! MAKE ME FEEL! [Rising tension] I’D RATHER FUCKING BURN THAN NEVER FUCKING HEAL! [ Pre-Chorus] Tear the sky! Rip the seams. I only exist inside The scream. [Final Chorus: Anthemic, Festival-sized, Keys exploding] Cut me open, let me bleed in ultraviolence! I never felt more real than when I’m violent! If suffering’s the only way we grow! Then crucify me in the afterglow, I’m still alive inside this code! This pain’s the only god I’ll ever know... So hurt me beautiful. Make it fucking hurt. Now, I remember what I’m made of. [Outro: Soft synths, Distant heartbeat kick, Whispered] Do you feel it too? Yeah… I think I do.
