FEMININE RAGE

[Verse 1]
Athena ngutuhake Medusa mung amarga
Dadi ngutuhake dheweke ngutuhake
Athena ngutuhake Medusa mung kanggo ngutuhake Poseidon
And settle her scores

Poseidon didn’t learn a thing
In fact I’m not so sure he even cared
Sekarang Athena ngutuk medusa kanggo urip saka ular taming
Within her hair

[Chorus]
Anne Boleyn and Antoinette
Apa dheweke layak kanggo nguripake kepala
Apa iku mung wigati wong angry

Ophelia was driven mad
No shit mantan sing nguripake papa
Sampun supaya sampeyan ngerti aku bisa ndadekake
Sampun sampeyan ngerti mengapa
Ada begitu akeh kemarahan feminin

[Verse 2]
Helen diwenehi mung amarga dheweke minangka obyek saka wong
Dan Circe diwenehi
Karena bapakipun ora peduli kanggo ngerti

Setiap versi cerita
Tahna minangka wong njaluk kabeh kemuliaan, ing pungkasan banjur
Sekali kita dibesarkan lan baca babagan em
Dheweke dadi mangsa ing kepala kita.

Romeo lan Juliet, dheweke ora malah 14 ora
Aya bapa nyoba kanggo nikah karo dheweke

Persephone diwenehi kanggo ndhuwur, kanggo urip karo Hades ing ngisor iki
Dan ing pungkasan iku dheweke sing njaluk tanggung jawab

Ing saben cerita sing ora ngandika, iku uga ngakhiri sing padha

[Chorus]
Anne Boleyn and Antoinette
Apa dheweke layak kanggo nguripake kepala
Apa iku mung wigati wong angry

Ophelia was driven mad
No shit mantan sing nguripake papa
Sampun supaya sampeyan ngerti aku bisa ndadekake
Sampun sampeyan ngerti mengapa
Ada begitu akeh kemarahan feminin

ALICE

[Verse 1]
Waken up ing kabutuhan, ora ana ing otak sing
Penuh saka senyum kosong, padha bakal ngandika sadurunge ora
Kepala ing awan, ngendi dheweke ora?
Sekali Alice ngetokake ing lubang kelinci
So the story goes

[Chorus]
Alice, Alice, jantung lan jiwitan ngetokake ing lubang kelinci
Dreamers dream until they don't
Lost her mind a while ago
Alice, Alice, don't you know?

Wonderland was all a hoax
Made it up so she could go
Madder than a hatter Alice broke

[Verse 2]
Alice mbukak ing rumah, njaluk track of time
Madder than a hatter Alice broke
Sama kucing cheshire, langit-langit njaluk menyang hitam
Dan ing pikiran dheweke bakal tenggel
As she chased the rabbit down, down, down

[Chorus]
Alice, Alice, jantung lan jiwitan ngetokake ing lubang kelinci
Dreamers dream until they don't
Lost her mind a while ago
Alice, Alice, don't you know?

Wonderland was all a hoax
Made it up so she could go
Madder than a hatter Alice broke
Alice, Alice, jantung lan jiwitan ngetokake ing lubang kelinci
Dreamers dream until they don't
Lost her mind a while ago
Alice, Alice, don't you know?

Wonderland was all a hoax
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
Tetapi aku lupa, nanging aku ngancam kang ndeleng
It's a curse and a blessing
Cara sing aku ora rehat
My mind's always moving much faster than my mouth
Aku ngerti apa kanggo ngandika, nanging iku ora muncul bener
You know what I mean, right? (You know what I mean, right? No)

[Pre-Chorus]
Parti iki luwih gedhe
Anak-anak iki nyebabake aku stressed out
I know (I know, I know, I know)
Oh, I know

[Chorus]
I'm a mess
But that doesn't make me less than you
I'm naive
Tetapi aku uga ngarep paling apik kanggo sampeyan
Dan aku bisa nggawe kesalahan sing aku ora kudu ing umurku
I know I'm not incompetent
But, damn, you make me feel that way

[Post-Chorus]
Anga nggawe aku rasa cara iku, sampeyan nggawe aku rasa cara iku
You make me feel that way, ah
Ah

[Verse 2]
Sekarang kamar dhewe iku paling aman sing aku ndeleng
And nothing around me feels like it's real
Aku ndhuwur ing panik, iku selalu ana apa sing aku nggawé
Aku selalu ingat hal-hal paling aneh sing aku ngandika
When I'm alone at night in my bed
Ing kepala aku minangka kor, lan satu-satunya hasratku iku kanggo diam, shh

[Pre-Chorus]
Dan pikiranku iku racing
The fear I keep chasing
I know
(Oh, I know)

[Chorus]
I'm a mess
But that doesn't make me less than you
I'm naive
Tetapi aku uga ngarep paling apik kanggo sampeyan
Dan aku bisa nggawe kesalahan sing aku ora kudu ing umurku
I know I'm not incompetent
But, damn, you make me feel that way

FLIGHT RISK

[Verse 1]
Aku ora apik kanggo tetep ing tempat
Sekalipun aku ngundhuh aku ngupake tas anyar
One missing sock, travel shampoo
Every weekend a different bedroom
How do I break it to you

[Chorus]
I’m a flight risk
Don’t know how you missed my name
No fly list
But I’m not gonna miss my plane
Selain tanggal pisanan, aku wis ngepak
Ngandhut bagasi, 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
Cause I got a discount on booking.com
And I’m gonna use it
Whether you like it or not

[Chorus]
I’m a flight risk
Don’t know how you missed my name
No fly list
But I’m not gonna miss my plane
Selain tanggal pisanan, aku wis ngepak
Ngandhut bagasi, ing kursi belakang.
Of a taxi, no I don’t know why
I’m like this
I’m a flight risk

[Bridge]
Aku bakal ngetung, sawise aku ana
Got my reasons, promise I care
Aku mung takut supaya sampeyan nonton aku, kaya iki
I’m a flight risk

[Chorus]
I’m a flight risk
Don’t know how you missed my name
No fly list
But I’m not gonna miss my plane
Selain tanggal pisanan, aku wis ngepak
Ngandhut bagasi, 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
Anak sing mung ngetung rong
Before I get to say, anything
Now I’m thinking
Devising a plan of what I might say
Tetika kita pernah ketemu, hey how are you
I know you don’t know me, but
Would you like to

[Chorus]
Yeah this happens every day
Aku jatuh cinta karo wajah beda
Dan malam iki sampeyan bakal mil jauh
But I cannot quiet my mind
Anak-anak sing beda lan anyar
Aku nggunakake kabeh uripku ing wektu karo sampeyan
Just a glimpse of a future
Itu ora dimaksudake kanggo mbukak

But for 30 seconds
I’d like to imagine

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

[Chorus]
Yeah this happens every day
Aku jatuh cinta karo wajah beda
Dan malam iki sampeyan bakal mil jauh
But I cannot quiet my mind
Anak-anak sing beda lan anyar
Banjur kabeh uripku ing momen karo sampeyan
Just a glimpse of a future
Itu ora dimaksudake kanggo mbukak

But for 30 seconds
I’d like to imagine

[Bridge]
Ada jutaan wong lan jutaan umur
Dan mungkin ing salah siji saka padha, aku ketemu suaraku
Dan aku ngandika aku suka sampeyan, lan banjur datang kanggo kopi
Ing 5 taun kita bakal nikah, rumah lan keluarga
Then I snap out of it, realize I’m crazy
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
Anak-anak sing beda lan anyar
Aku wis nggawé kabeh uripku ing wektu karo sampeyan
Parti iki luwih gedhe
Was fun while it lasted
It was just 30 seconds
But still I imagined

DEAR READER

[Verse 1]
Itu kudu apa sing ngandika para penyair
You read me like nobody else
Itu beda aku bisa ngandika

Itu kudu iku apa para pemimpi ngarep
You pulled me off the pages
Tunggu umur kanggo sampeyan mbukak

[Chorus]
Let me be the Wendy to your Peter Pan
Picture aku minangka langit nyekel ing tanah ora
Bayi, sampeyan bakal balik nalika ceritané dihentikan?
Promise that you’ll read me
Read me again

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

[Chorus]
So just imagine that I’m Wendy
You’re my Peter Pan (you’re my Peter Pan)
Picture aku minangka langit nyekel ing Neverland
Bayi, sampeyan bakal balik nalika ceritané dihentikan?
Promise that you’ll read me
Read me again

[Bridge]
Stories end and pages fold
And over time our story’s told
Tapi kita bakal tetep muda antarane tinta lan pena nalika padha njaluk
Again and again and again and again

[Chorus]
I am the Wendy to your Peter Pan
Picture aku minangka langit nyekel ing Neverland
Bayi, sampeyan bakal balik nalika ceritané dihentikan?
Promise that you’ll read me
Promise that you will read me (Promise that you will read me)

[Chorus]
I am the Wendy to your Peter Pan
Picture aku minangka langit nyekel ing Neverland
Bayi, sampeyan bakal balik nalika ceritané dihentikan?
Promise that you’ll read me
Read me again

[Post-Chorus]
Promise that you’ll read me
Read me again
