FEMININE RAGE

[Verse 1]
Athena cursed Medusa just because
Aku ngendi dheweke tiba-tiba kothak
Athena ngutuhake Medusa mung kanggo ngandhut Poseidon
And settle scores

Poseidon ora ngerti apa
Ing hakiki aku ora begitu yakin kang malah peduli
Ké Athena ngutuk medusa kanggo urip saka ular taming
Dina rambutnya

[Chorus]
Anne Boleyn and Antoinette
Apakah padha layak kanggo ngurangi kepala
Apa iku mung keinginan wong marah

Ophelia wis diwenehi gila
No shit her lover killed her dad
Sekarang supaya sampeyan ngerti aku bakal ndeleng uga
And you wonder why
Ada akeh kemarahan feminin

[Verse 2]
Helen diculik mung amarga dheweke minangka obyek saka wong
And Circe was abandoned
Sebab bapane ora khawatir kanggo ngerti

Every version of the story
Seperti wong njaluk kabeh kemuliaan, ing pungkasan nalika
Sekarang kita dibesarkan lan baca babagan em
And villaine the victims in our heads

Romeo lan Juliet, dheweke ora malah 14 saiki
Bapa padha nyoba kanggo nikah karo dheweke.

Persephone wis diwenehi kanggo ndeleng, kanggo urip karo Hades ing ngisor iki
Dan ing pungkasan iku sing njupuk tanggung jawab

Ing kabeh cerita sing pernah ditutupi, iku selalu berakhir sama

[Chorus]
Anne Boleyn and Antoinette
Apakah padha layak kanggo ngurangi kepala
Apa iku mung keinginan wong marah

Ophelia wis diwenehi gila
No shit her lover killed her dad
Sekarang supaya sampeyan ngerti aku bakal ndeleng uga
And you wonder why
Ada akeh kemarahan feminin

ALICE

[Verse 1]
Waken ing kabutuhan, ora ana ing otak
Penuh senyum kosong, padha bakal ngandika duduk lan mbukak sawetara wektu
Kepala ing awan, ngendi dheweke iku saiki?
Segera Alice ngetokake ing lubang kelinci
So the story goes

[Chorus]
Alice, Alice, jantung lan jiwa jatuh ing lubang kelinci
Dreamers dream until they don't
Lost her mind a while ago
Alice, Alice, ora ngerti?

Wonderland iku kabeh scam
Made it up so she could go
Madder than a hatter Alice broke

[Verse 2]
Alice tetep ing rumah, nguripake wektu
Tangtu ing langit-langit, dheweke mbukak ing pikiran
Sama kucing cheshire, langit-langit dadi hitam
And in her mind she will drown
Seperti padha ngejar kelinci ing ngisor, ing ngisor, ing ngisor

[Chorus]
Alice, Alice, jantung lan jiwa jatuh ing lubang kelinci
Dreamers dream until they don't
Lost her mind a while ago
Alice, Alice, ora ngerti?

Wonderland iku kabeh scam
Made it up so she could go
Madder than a hatter Alice broke
Alice, Alice, jantung lan jiwa jatuh ing lubang kelinci
Dreamers dream until they don't
Lost her mind a while ago
Alice, Alice, ora ngerti?

Wonderland iku kabeh scam
Made it up so she could go
Madder than a hatter Alice broke
(Madder than a hatter, Alice
Madder than a hatter, Alice)

MESS

[Verse 1]
I always smile but it doesn't reach my eyes
And I am forgetful but I promise that I try
It's a curse and a blessing
The way I'm never resting
Pikiranku iku selalu bergerak luwih cepet saka mulutku
Aku ngerti apa kanggo ngandika, nanging iku ora dadi bener
Apa sampeyan ngerti apa aku maksud, ora? (Apa sampeyan ngerti apa aku maksud, ora? No)

[Pre-Chorus]
This party is too loud
The noise makes me stressed out
Aku ngerti, aku ngerti, aku ngerti)
Oh, I know

[Chorus]
I'm a mess
But iku ora nggawe aku kurang saka sampeyan
I am naive
But malah aku ngarep best kanggo sampeyan
Dan aku bisa nindakake kesalahan sing aku ora kudu ing umurku
I know I'm not incompetent
But, kutha, sampeyan nggawe aku ndadekake ing cara iki

[Post-Chorus]
Kamu nyebabake aku rasa cara iki, sampeyan nyebabake aku rasa cara iki
You make me feel that way, ah
Ah

[Verse 2]
Sometimes kamarku dhewe iku paling aman sing aku ndadekake
Dan ora ana apa-apa ing saké aku nyebabake minangka nyata
Aku ngendok ing panik, ana uga ana apa-apa sing aku lupakan
Aku selalu ingat hal-hal paling aneh sing aku ngandika
When I'm alone at night in my bed
Dan kepala aku minangka koro, lan satu-satunya hasratku iku kanggo diam, shh

[Pre-Chorus]
And my thoughts are racing
The ketakutan aku terus chasing
I know
(Oh, I know)

[Chorus]
I'm a mess
But iku ora nggawe aku kurang saka sampeyan
I am naive
But malah aku ngarep best kanggo sampeyan
Dan aku bisa nindakake kesalahan sing aku ora kudu ing umurku
I know I'm not incompetent
But, kutha, sampeyan nggawe aku ndadekake ing cara iki

FLIGHT RISK

[Verse 1]
Aku ora apik kanggo mbukak ing panggonan
Segera aku ngandhakake aku ngupake tas anyar
One missing sock, travel shampoo
Every weekend a different bedroom
Bagaimana aku nglumpukake kanggo sampeyan

[Chorus]
I'm a flight risk
Don’t know how you missed my name
No fly list
Tetapi aku ora bakal nguripake pesawatku
Sampun tanggal pisanan, aku ngupake
Let bagasi aku, ing kursi belakang
Of a taxi, no I don't know why
I’m like this
I'm a flight risk

[Verse 2]
Sometimes I feel, a little bit lame
Watching you stand, alone at baggage claim
But I cut you a break, by cutting you off
Sebab aku duwe diskon ing booking.com
And I'm gonna use it
Apa sampeyan suka utawa ora ora

[Chorus]
I'm a flight risk
Don’t know how you missed my name
No fly list
Tetapi aku ora bakal nguripake pesawatku
Sampun tanggal pisanan, aku ngupake
Let bagasi aku, ing kursi belakang
Of a taxi, no I don't know why
I’m like this
I'm a flight risk

[Bridge]
Aku bakal mbukak, sawisé aku ana
Got alasanku, jaminan aku nguripake
I am just afraid to let you see me, like this
I'm a flight risk

[Chorus]
I'm a flight risk
Don’t know how you missed my name
No fly list
Tetapi aku ora bakal nguripake pesawatku
Sampun tanggal pisanan, aku ngupake
Let bagasi aku, ing kursi belakang
Of a taxi, no I don't know why
I’m like this
I'm a flight risk

30 SECONDS LOVE STORY

[Verse 1]
Contemplating
Saying hello
It's irritating
How much you don't know
Sampun wong asing sing boarding tren
Before I get to say, anything
Sekarang aku nyimpen
Devising rencana saka apa sing aku bisa ngandika
If we ever met, hey how are you
Aku ngerti sampeyan ora ngerti aku, nanging
Would you like to

[Chorus]
Yeah this happens every day
Aku jatuh cinta karo wajah beda
And tonight you'll be miles away
But aku ora bisa nyenengake pikiranku
Apa beda lan apa-apa anyar
Aku ngluwihi kabeh uripku ing sesaat karo sampeyan
Just a glimpse of a future
That's not meant to happen

But kanggo 30 detik
I would like to imagine

[Verse 2]
I think I read once
Mungkin online sing butterflies ana
Just warning signs
But you got me in disarray
And I feel them anyway

[Chorus]
Yeah this happens every day
Aku jatuh cinta karo wajah beda
And tonight you'll be miles away
But aku ora bisa nyenengake pikiranku
Apa beda lan apa-apa anyar
Aku ngluwihi kabeh uripku ing sesaat karo sampeyan
Just a glimpse of a future
That's not meant to happen

But kanggo 30 detik
I would like to imagine

[Bridge]
Ada jutaan wong lan jutaan urip
Dan mungkin ing salah siji saka padha, aku ketemu suaraku
And I told you I liked you, and then came for coffee
Ing 5 taun kita bakal nikah, rumah lan keluarga
Sekarang aku ngetokake, sadurunge aku gila
And watch your train pass me by

[Chorus]
Yeah this happens every day
Aku jatuh cinta karo wajah beda
And tonight you'll be miles away
And I'll push you out of my mind
Apa beda lan apa-apa anyar
Aku ngluwihi kabeh uripku ing sesaat karo sampeyan
And I saw the future
Was lucu nalika iku ngluwihi
Itu mung 30 detik
But still I imagined

DEAR READER

[Verse 1]
This must be what the poets talk about
You read me like nobody else
This is different I can tell

Itu kudu apa kang para pemimpi mimpi
You pulled me off the pages
Tunggu taun-tahun kanggo sampeyan mbukak

[Chorus]
Let me be the Wendy to your Peter Pan
Paint me like the sky touch down in never land
Baby, sampeyan bakal balik nalika ceritanya diakhiri?
You promise that you'll read me
Read me again

[Verse 2]
Itu kudu apa penulis ngandika babagan
Can’t you see you’re my Mr. Darcy
And I'm Lizzy Bennet
We are destined to happen

[Chorus]
So just imagine that I'm Wendy
You’re my Peter Pan (you’re my Peter Pan)
Paint me like the sky touch down in Neverland
Baby, sampeyan bakal balik nalika ceritanya diakhiri?
You promise that you'll read me
Read me again

[Bridge]
Stories end pages and fold
And over time our story's told
Tetapi kita bakal dadi muda antarane tinta lan pena nalika padha njaluk iku
Apa-apa lan-apa lan-apa lan-apa lan-apa lan-apa

[Chorus]
I'm the Wendy to your Peter Pan
Paint me like the sky touch down in Neverland
Baby, sampeyan bakal balik nalika ceritanya diakhiri?
You promise that you'll read me
Sumpuni sampeyan bakal maca aku (sumpuni sampeyan bakal maca aku)

[Chorus]
I'm the Wendy to your Peter Pan
Paint me like the sky touch down in Neverland
Baby, sampeyan bakal balik nalika ceritanya diakhiri?
You promise that you'll read me
Read me again

[Post-Chorus]
You promise that you'll read me
Read me again
