Lyrics & Translation

[English]

my heart was pounding as I landed on the

other side of the wall and I didn't look

back once at the Mansion as I ran away

when I was far enough I collapsed on a

park bench oh my God I did it I'm free I

am never ever going back this is the

life sleeping under the Starry Sky

breathing in the crisp night air I leapt

up in panic and saw a rat scurrying

across the bench e okay I don't have to

be out here forever just a few days

enough to scare my parents now I just

need to find a decent place to

sleep I fell on my butt as a white thing

came zooming towards me only to realize

it was a flying paper bag I nervously

laughed and got up but everything around

me was beginning to feel Sinister maybe

Mom and Dad have been punished enough

they'll be pooping their pants by now

and suddenly I had a strong feeling that

I was being followed I abruptly turned

around to find nothing but then I saw a

huge shadow in the

alley and my blood ran cold I started

running like crazy and was crossing the

street when I tripped and landed hard on

the ground as I turned over I froze upon

seeing a tall cloaked figure towering

over me with no face the creature bent

down closer to me then drew a long

breath the creature recoiled and stepped

back and just then I heard a heavy bike

roaring down the road coming straight at

me I clamped my eyes shut and kept

screaming till I felt someone shaking my

shoulders Marion you're fine for the

love of God shut up I stared at the

familiar face in shock Jake Jake oh my

god oh my god holds me I've had the

worst night let's get you home and you

can tell me all about it can you just

hold me for two freaking seconds I need

to be held right now as Jake hugged me I

looked around to see the faceless

creature was gone

hi my name is Maran and I know y'all

have a lot of questions like how come

she's so pretty and what's the deal with

her unique eyes and who does her amazing

hair okay maybe you also have some

questions about what just happened

they'll all get answered if you stick

around for my story and please like And

subscribe about my eyes and hair I

wasn't born like this you see when I was

five I was vacationing in the Swiss elps

with my parents when one day I woke up

with streaks of white running through my

dark hair and I'd also veloped

heterochromia my parents who were big

worry warts really freaked out they had

me examined by every doctor in the world

but no one could figure out the reason

what was even funnier was that every

time my parents dyed my hair it turned

back white overnight which drove them

crazy but I secretly loved it it's like

my hair was rebelling long before I

started my dad was a rich politician and

over the course of his career he kept

going after big criminals and making

enemies so my parents were always super

paranoid about my safety and I had a

security team on my tail all the time

can you guys please move away from the

bathroom door you don't need to hear all

the sounds my butt makes Let me poop in

peace for the last time the poor lunch

lady is not trying to kill me oh for

crying out loud he was just giving me a

box of chocolates not a bomb your

security team is ruining my life no boy

at College will even look at me now do

you want me to be single and Loveless

forever sounds good to me he's kidding

honey but it's so hard to trust new

people you know Jake is back in town

after becoming the state's youngest

police detective you mean your best

friend son and my ex Jake are you

serious Mom it could be different this

time you haven't seen him in 4 years

hasn't been long enough Jake was 3 years

older than me and we'd known each other

since we were kids we dated for a few

months when I was 16 but we were

completely wrong for each other and

saying it hadn't ended well was an

understatement Maran have you heard a

word I said uh yeah no we're hosting a

banquet at our place this weekend at the

end of which I'll be announcing that I'm

running for president the president of

what the country of course what are you

kidding me listen I know my political

career places restrictions on your life

but we have to look at the big picture

here which is what Dad the chance to do

good I have the power to make change and

with great power comes great oh my God

don't finish that sentence you're not

Spider-Man or some other superhero with

a cliched line you're my dad but all

your life you've put your career first

that's not fair I don't care because all

I know is you're making me miserable of

course nothing was going to change dad's

mind so the least I could do was sulk

and reject all his peace offerings and

on the evening of the banquet I

pretended I was having the worst period

cramps any woman had ever experienced

pulled out my running away plans and

then use this opportunity while everyone

was busy to escape and well you know the

rest just about what happened that night

what were you thinking running away like

that and what do you mean there was a

faceless creature and he sniffed you I

do smell very nice and I don't know if

it was a he or a she or they it looked

like a tall man he ran away as I came

towards you on my bike I would have

followed him but you were screaming like

you'd been stabbed now can you describe

the creature how I'm telling you no face

NADA there was a black hole instead

maybe he was just wearing some mask you

do have an overactive imagination

weren't you always writing some dumb

horror novel I'm not making this up oh

God he could be someone from one of the

mafia gangs I busted recently maybe he's

been stalking you and followed you from

the Mansion when you ran away we'll just

have to amp up security you mean besides

the eight morons who follow me around

all day already with all due respect sir

I think we need a more qualified

personal bodyguard I can interview some

candidates for you that would be

wonderful Jake hey no one's choosing a

personal bodyguard for me without my

approval okay your highness I'll bring

the candidates here and you can

interview them with me if there's

nothing else I'll get going now why

don't you see Jake out honey he's a

detective he'll find his way Maran all

right as I walked with Jake to the main

door I couldn't help giving him a side

glance he was cuter than I remembered

even though I wasn't a huge fan of the

unshaven look and I wish he'd tuck his

shirt in if you want to check me out

just say so I'll let you do it without

hurting your eyes so much as if I was

just wondering why you're aging so badly

can't say the same for you you're

definitely prettier now I could feel my

face going red but your annoying

personality totally ruins it what were

you doing out there tonight anyway your

mother Panic called me after they found

out you'd run away I knew you couldn't

have gone too far on foot so I was

scouting the area you still haven't

thanked me by the way uh okay thank you

you're welcome I'm glad you're all right

suddenly his hand was on my arm and he

was leaning in closer and he was looking

at my lips I felt kind of lightheaded in

got it you had a leaf in your hair wait

you didn't think I was going to kiss you

did you ew barf puke why would you even

say that cuz you're pouting it's the

face I make when I'm disgusted which I

am with you so close to me good we're on

the same page then I got to go I'm laid

for a date G of course he had a date it

was just me who was going to die

Loveless in alone oh wow I forgotten how

good your chefs

are there's ketchup on your shirt and

mustard on your face can we just start

the interviews nope too old his reaction

time is probably slower than mine nope

too chatty he'll chew my ear off all day

did you see his long nose hair ew Jake

ew what kind of self-respecting

bodyguard wears bright pink socks his

tie was crooked and so were his teeth

you're just finding stupid reasons to

reject everyone my team took 3 Days To

comp compile this list look this person

has to spend every waking moment with me

and it has to be someone I'm comfortable

with next as the door opened and I

looked up my jaw dropped to the floor

the guy who'd walked in was tall dark

handsome and then some he had skin like

marble cheekbones you could grate cheese

on and intense blue eyes that pierced my

soul he was immaculately dressed and you

could tell through his clothes that he

was ripped uh your name is Magnus right

your references seem um excellent yes

very good he's hired what the interview

isn't over it's not even started

excellent references right that's all I

need to know you're hired magnet his

name is Magnus I know I'm not stupid so

you can start tomorrow yes I certainly

can miss Maran oh my God that voice I

was melting like butter on warm toast

Welcome to our home after I've run on a

background check and consulted with Miss

maran's parents Magnus will'll be in

touch as Magnus nodded and turned to

leave Jake suddenly grabbed an apple

from the table and shot it straight at

him seconds before it was about to hit

the back of his head matus turned around

and caught it with one hand what was

that just checking his reflexes not bad

Magnus smirked and tossed the Apple to

Jake before leaving and I sat down in a

days you are unbelievable what you were

dying for me to hire one of your

candidates and I just did the only

reason you hired him is because he's

devastatingly handsome I always had a

feeling you were gay and hiding it Maran

I don't have a good feeling about this

guy something's off yes his good looks

are off the charts if you're having a

problem just do your background check

dude oh I'll definitely be doing that

have fun by the way your fly's been open

the whole time uh what no it's not but I

made you look Jake's background check

didn't reveal anything suspicious so my

parents were happy to have Magnus on

board and had him settled into a room

close to mine the next day and I was

ecstatic I just had to work on acting

cool around him and not make my giant

Crush super obvious and when I walked

into college with Magnus by my side I

could see how everyone was flipping out

even My Philosophy teacher was so

distracted by his presence she dropped

water on her desk sat on her glasses and

tripped over a wire girl you're so lucky

your life is in danger I'm so jealous

right now oh I know you're going to make

a move on him right no that is so

inappropriate the thought of

overstepping boundaries with an employee

would never even cross my mind how do I

look in this red dress it's not my job

to have an opinion about your clothes

Miss Maran okay then oh gosh the zip

seems to be stuck I'm not kidding it's

really not moving help out a damsel in

distress as Magnus came closer and I

felt his hand on my back my heart

started racing I'll call a store

employee why don't you order something

too I don't eat or drink on the job but

you're on the job all the time by the

way does it bother your girlfriend that

your work involves taking care of a

pretty girl I don't have a girlfriend oh

thank God I mean I'm glad because I have

a knack for setting up people no one

specific in mind for you right now but I

could look into it so what kind of girls

do you like the non-existent kind the

car is here ma'am let's

[Music]

go hi I was just wondering if you'd do

me a huge favor see I've been working on

this horror novel for a few years now

and I'd love to get your opinion I think

it's great actually okay I don't want to

oversell it but I really like the first

10 chapters no wait five the first five

chapters are good okay fine the first

three pages all right I love the title

and maybe the rest of it is all bad it's

years of work and I'm terrified it's not

good and I just need someone to read it

and tell

me

so did you start reading my book yes I

actually finished it last night wow that

was fast what did you think of it it's

not my job to have an opinion about

anything except your safety Miss Maran

this beautiful demigod Was Made of Stone

and he couldn't be less interested in me

later that night I was sleeping deeply

when I woke up to the smell of smoke I

ran towards my door but I opened it to

find huge Flames sweeping across the

hall I screamed for help but no no one

was around I had no choice left but to

jump out of my window the Flames were

roaring in I had to jump

now
