🎭 SHIKI: THE SWITCHING CLOWN

Lyrics

INTRO
(Slow music box... creepy carnival ambience... chains dragging... distant laughter...)
Shiki (Whisper)
"Every circus has a star..."
"Every clown hides a secret..."
"Every smile... is just another mask..."
(Heartbeat begins.)
"So..."
"Which one... do you want to meet first?"
(808 slides in... Drill hi-hats start rolling... Heavy guitar explodes.)
🎭 PERSONALITY I — SARCASTIC
(Ultra Fast Drill Rap + Trap Metal + Rock)
Welcome to the circus, grab a seat, don't be afraid,
Every joke I ever told became another blade.
Paint another smile across the cracks inside my face,
Laughing while I drag another victim through this place.
Think you're brave?
That's adorable.
You call me crazy...
I call you boring.
You came to watch the show?
Congratulations...
You're the entertainment now.
Everybody's screaming... Everybody's running... Everybody's praying...
I'm applauding.
Bravo...
Encore...
Keep pretending you're the hero.
Spoiler alert...
Heroes die first.
(Beat switches into an aggressive Drill flow.)
Look at your face, you froze when the lights went black, Talkin' that fire online but in person you never attack. Step in my circus, there's no way you're making it back, Smile on my face while I sharpen the edge of the act.
King of the chaos, I'm making a throne outta fear, Juggling demons while death whispers right in my ear. You came for a show but the ending is painfully clear, The clown is the hunter... The audience disappears.
(Laughs.)
HAHAHAHA...
"Oh?
You still think you're winning?"
PRE-CHORUS
(Trap Pop Alternative melody)
Every smile is breaking...
Every mask is fading...
Inside my head...
Nobody's saving...
Me...
CHORUS
(Rock + Trap Pop)
Switch...
Switch...
Switching personalities...
Every voice inside of me...
Fighting for eternity...
Who am I supposed to be?
Laugh...
Cry...
Live...
Die...
Every mask becomes my face...
Welcome...
To my twisted place...
🎪 PERSONALITY II — PLAYER
(Child Voice + Trap Pop + Horror Melody)
Hi...
Did you miss me?
Come closer...
Don't be shy...
I made balloons...
Just for you.
Look!
They're floating...
Like little dreams...
Do you hear the music?
Dance with me...
Round and round...
Round and round...
Don't stop smiling.
Clowns don't cry.
Do you wanna play hide and seek?
I'll count really slow...
One...
Two...
Three...
Ready or not...
Here I come...
Found you...
You're shaking...
Why?
We're only playing...
Friends stay together forever...
Right?
(Giggle... beat turns into playful Drill.)
Let's play tag...
I'll let you run...
Ten more seconds...
Now it's fun...
You can scream...
You can hide...
I'll still find you...
Every time...
(Childish laughter echoes.)
🖤 PERSONALITY III — COLD
(Emo Trap + Dark Alternative Rock)
No pulse.
No warmth.
No forgiveness.
Every scar became another chapter.
Every betrayal...
Another reason...
To stop believing.
I buried my emotions...
Next to my name.
Now...
Nothing hurts.
Nothing heals.
I became winter.
Breathing...
Without living.
Speaking...
Without feeling.
Even death...
Feels lonely beside me.
The moon follows every step I take.
The shadows whisper...
But I never answer.
Because silence...
Understands me better than people ever could.
(Emotional melodic section.)
The darkness became my reflection...
The silence became my confession...
I'm fading into obsession...
With no resurrection...
🔥 [BREAKDOWN]
(Heavy guitars + screams + Drill 808s)
Switch...
Again...
Again...
Again...
WHO'S NEXT?!

One wants revenge!!
One wants friendship!!
One wants silence!!
One wants chaos!!
(Ultra-fast Drill flow.)
Voices colliding, they're living inside of my brain, Breaking the chains while I'm dancing alone in the rain. Nobody knows if I'm healing or drowning in pain, Every new version of me got another new name.
Masks on the floor but they're growing back onto my face, Running in circles, there's no way to finish this race. Welcome to hell where insanity's setting the pace, This is my circus... You cannot escape.
WHO AM I?!
WHO AM I?!
WHO AM I?!
HAHAHAHA!!
PLAY WITH ME!!
I FEEL NOTHING!!
COME CLOSER!!
RUN AWAY!!
TOO LATE!!
YOU CROSSED THE CURTAIN!!
NOW YOU BELONG...

The chains break!!
The tents collapse!!
The fire climbs into the sky!!
The laughter becomes screaming!!
The screaming becomes singing!!
The singing becomes...
MADNESS!!

THE PUNCHLINE!!
THE NIGHTMARE!!
THE SHOW!!
