Description

This sound is like tinsel and glitter, with cold steel hissing behind it. Under the spotlights, there are smiles, jokes, wit, and lace, but behind the scenes, there are bruises, exhaustion, and a fight for a place in the spotlight. This is a story about how the dream of a ‘glamorous life’ turns into a contract with pain, where every flutter of the eyelashes is part of the deal, and every movement in the garter is a small manifesto of power.

But the irony is that even after all the deception, the show goes on, and the voice you hear is not that of a victim, but of the mistress of the stage. Pain hides under lipstick, tears under glitter, and yet that feeling remains - the immortal fire that feeds and wounds, but makes you real. This anthem is not about glamour, but about surviving in glamour, when lace is armour and applause is fuel.
