A captivating anthem discussing the themes of ego, hubris, and exclusivity, 'Velvet Rope' explores the glitz and glamour of high society while also confronting the barriers and impenetrability that come with the pursuit of status. With a sultry melody and powerful lyrics, this song invites listeners into a world where confidence and charisma reign supreme.
Verse 1:
Come closer, step inside, it's a world you can't deny,
Where the lights are shining bright, but the truth is hard to find.
Elite and ever-glam, wrapped in silk and gold,
There's a velvet rope in sight, the stories left untold.
Chorus:
Oh, behind the velvet rope,
Where the secrets come to play,
Living life on display,
In this masquerade, we sway.
Verse 2:
High heels and perfect skin, dripping in our sin,
Chasing ghosts of who we were, just to see who we might win.
Egos filled with champagne, drowning in the fame,
But who will hold the mirror when we all forget our names?
Chorus:
Oh, behind the velvet rope,
Where the secrets come to play,
Living life on display,
In this masquerade, we sway.
Bridge:
But velvet won't protect us from the cracks, the scores, the pains,
We're blinded by the glitter, 'til the spotlight fades away.
Wrapped in our own illusions, yes, we're dancing in a cage,
With the velvet rope surrounding us, is it worth this empty stage?
Chorus:
Oh, behind the velvet rope,
Where the secrets come to play,
Living life on display,
In this masquerade, we sway.
Outro:
So pull me in and let me breathe,
The world that’s ours to seize,
With glitter smiles and heavy hearts,
We're more than just the glamour, can't you see?
