A powerful anthem about reclaiming one's worth and standing strong against the objectification of women. 'Body on Display' speaks to the emotions and empowerment felt by those who've been used for their bodies, highlighting the journey toward self-love and resilience.
Verse 1:
I walked in with my head held high,
But your eyes tore me down, made me feel shy.
You said I was a vision, a beautiful sight,
But your gaze felt cold, oh, what a plight.
Pre-Chorus:
I’m more than what you see,
More than just skin and bone.
But you don’t want the heart,
Just a body on loan.
Chorus:
Used for my body, but I’m taking it back,
I’m more than your wish, I won’t fit in your pack.
I’m not just a toy for you to display,
I’m a force, I’m a voice, and I’m here to stay.
Verse 2:
You painted me pretty with your shallow words,
But I see through your charm, can’t be deterred.
Thought I’d be your pleasure, but here’s the twist,
I’m reclaiming my story, you don’t get a fist.
Pre-Chorus:
I’m more than what you see,
More than just skin and bone.
But you don’t want the heart,
Just a body on loan.
Chorus:
Used for my body, but I’m taking it back,
I’m more than your wish, I won’t fit in your pack.
I’m not just a toy for you to display,
I’m a force, I’m a voice, and I’m here to stay.
Bridge:
You thought you could define me with your hands,
But my spirit's a fire, take a stand.
No more will I crumble under your weight,
I’ll rise up and shine; I’ll create my fate.
Chorus:
Used for my body, but I’m taking it back,
I’m more than your wish, I won’t fit in your pack.
I’m not just a toy for you to display,
I’m a force, I’m a voice, and I’m here to stay.
Outro:
So watch as I grow, watch as I fly,
I’m more than your vision, I’m the reason why.
I stood up today, lifted my head,
No longer your muse, I’m writing instead.
