Lyrics:
[intro]
[verse]
Behind the glass the world shines so bright
Stories hidden in the sparkling light
Between cheap deals and dreams so high
There's a glow but scars they never die
[verse]
Store shelves promise glass skin dreams
Two-pound creams trend on tiny screens
Youth and glow is all they crave
Seoul's cold touch the world enslaves
[pre-chorus]
But who looks past the surface glow
When beauty's just a race to show
Likes and views define your grace
Shining skin but heart's misplaced
[chorus]
This ain't just about lipstick shades
It's the souls behind the glass displays
Between the glam the tears the pain
Beauty shines but won't remain
[verse]
A name gone in the blink of night
Young world pauses in the light
Tutorials turn to memories
Ring lights fade in silent seas
[pre-chorus]
Who knew behind that feed-smile cheer
Lay exhaustion no words bear
World admires then moves along
When souls need hugs not spotlight's song
[chorus]
This ain't just about hair and style
It's life that questions all the while
When crowns fall from power's hand
Beauty shines but turns to sand
[verse]
Pink dress waves with Y2K hair
Icon rising through nostalgia's air
From New York to Dubai's view
Beauty health strength shining true
[chorus]
Now we know beauty tells a tale
Of human stumbles that prevail
Not just what cameras portray
But what endures beyond the ray
[outro]
[break]
[chorus]
This ain't just about lipstick shades
It's the souls behind the glass displays
Between the glam the tears the pain
Beauty shines but won't remain
[chorus]
Now we know beauty tells a tale
Of human stumbles that prevail
Not just what cameras portray
But what endures beyond the ray
[outro]

Grand Concept
Lagu ini adalah narasi kritik sosial tentang industri kecantikan global dan budaya visual digital, yang diperlakukan bukan sekadar tema, melainkan ruang dramatik tempat manusia dan identitasnya dipertaruhkan. "Mirror" (cermin) menjadi metafora utama: layar, etalase, feed media sosial, dan kamera-semuanya memantulkan cahaya, namun menyembunyikan luka.
