This piece was written with inspiration from Jean-Paul Sartre’s ā€œThe Gazeā€ and Jacques Lacan’s concept of ā€œAlienation.ā€
Rather than being an object trapped in others’ gaze, I projected through the muse Luna the image of a sovereign who draws in and dominates the gaze.
ā€œI make you realize that I am not the one being seen, but the one who makes you see.ā€
Ultimately, the moment the observer thinks they are watching me, they themselves are already trapped within my frame.
ā€œAre you looking at me right now? Or is it your own gaze that has been captured by me?ā€
I hope this becomes a moment for deep reflection 😊

[Lyric]
[INTRO]
I’m just here.
Existing in the quiet.

[VERSE 1]
People stare, they always do
Eyes trying to peel away the truth
There was a time when the weight was too much
I popped my collar, hiding from the touch
Of a thousand judgments I couldn't escape.

[PRE-CHORUS]
If you want to find me, go ahead and try
But stay behind the gate I’ve built so high
You can look, but don’t you dare step in
I haven't authorized your soul within.

[CHORUS]
I’m not standing where your eyes happen to land
Your gaze was pulled here, by my own command
Like a magnet, I’m the center of your sight
I own this rain, I own this darkest night
This whole world... it’s just me.

[VERSE 2]
I made a choice a long, long time ago
Instead of fearing what the shadows show
I’ll use the vision, I’ll wear the display
I’ll be the hunter, not the prey
That’s how I rule my own domain.

[BRIDGE]
I used to run from the flashing lights and the crowd
But then I stopped, I stood tall and proud
Turn around, lock your eyes with mine
See who’s the master in this grand design.

[CHORUS]
I’m not standing where your eyes happen to land
Your gaze was pulled here, by my own command
Like a magnet, I’m the center of your sight
I own this rain, I own this darkest night
This whole world... it’s just me.

[OUTRO]
I’m still here.
Even when you leave, my eyes will stay.
Right here.
