00:03Lights are flashing, cameras rolling
00:10But behind the smiles, something's broken
00:37I walk the red carpets, kiss the air so sweet
00:42Champagne and crystal designer on my feet
00:45They said you're family now, just play the game
00:49Smiles from the moguls, whispers of their fame
00:53Parties in the hills where the powerful play
00:57Laughing loud together, chasing night away
01:01It felt like magic, like I'd finally arrived
01:04But in the quiet moments, I saw the cracks inside
01:08They talk in code about the inner circles, my jets
01:12Across the ocean, undercover of the night
01:15Young dreams get invited, promises so grand
01:18But some never come back the same from that far off land
01:23Behind the glamour, the truth starts to bleed
01:25The big club owns the stage, plans to hit and see
01:29What they call connections, the parties, the thrill is a web of silence
01:35That bends to their will
01:36Oh, the island whispers, the place that never ends
01:40Faces you would know, but the darkness they defend
01:44It looks so normal, till the truth is torn away
01:47Now the whole world sees what the powerful betray
02:05Directors with their stories, producers in their suits
02:09Invites to private screenings, exotic pursuits
02:12Stay close to the family that smile and insist
02:16One hand on your shoulder, the other on the list
02:20I heard the rumors floating like perfume in the air
02:23Girls who disappeared, questions met with stares
02:27But the shows go on, the awards keep shining bright
02:30They say it's just business in the Hollywood night
02:33Black books full of numbers, names that shake the throne
02:37Science, politics and stars, they call their own massages
02:41In the mansion, laughter in the hall
02:44But the young one serving carries secrets for us all
02:48Behind the glamour, the truth stops to bleed
02:51The big club owns the stage, plants the hidden sea
02:54What they call connections, the parties, the thrill
02:58Is a web of silence that bends to their will
03:01All the island whispers, the flights that never end
03:05Faces you would know, but the darkness they defend
03:08It looks so normal till the truth is torn away
03:12Now the whole world sees what the powerful betrays
03:30I was one of them, chasing lights and gold
03:33But the price they asked for, it chilled me to my soul
03:37Little black books, little girls with dreams so wide
03:40Flown out to paradise where the rules don't apply
03:44The ones who know, they know
03:45The rest just look away, but the files are open now
03:49No more hiding in the grey, connect the dots
03:52The moguls, the flights, the fallen fame
03:54It's all one machine playing their wicked game
04:02Behind the glamour, the truth is crystal clear
04:05The big club and the secrets drowning out the fear
04:09Island in the ocean, jets across the sky
04:12The powerful united in their web of lies
04:15It seems so normal, the parties, the glow
04:19Till the names and the files let the whole truth show
04:22Everyone will know the spell is finally broken
04:26This is our awakening
04:28The hidden truth spoken
04:32Behind the glamour
04:34We see it all now
04:38The glamour falls
04:41And truth takes the crown
