velvet ropes - weglobe lyrics
(intro)
access denied, honey…
(verse 1)
you’re trying to buy a ticket to a show that’s long been sold out
dropping names and empty compliments, thinking you can break my doubt
you’re flashing counterfeit confidence, a charming, cheap facade
but my velvet rope is bolted down, my standards are iron*clad
the guest list for my inner world is curated and small
and your application, darling, doesn’t meet the specs at all
(pre*chorus)
see, i used to run a open house, a free*for*all affair
but i got tired of the damage and of fixing up the wear
so i hired a bouncer for my heart, a critic for my ear
and the review you’re getting back is perfectly, politely clear
(chorus)
there’s velvet ropes around my soul now, a vip section for the real
a strict and elegant enforcement of how i’m willing to feel
your name’s not on the list, boy, no matter how you plead
the dress code is authenticity, a quality you simply don’t need
yeah, these velvet ropes are staying up, a boundary and a bar
you can admire from a distance, ’cause you’re not getting past the guard
(verse 2)
i see you with your little gifts, your late*night “you up?” texts
trying to find a side door in, to bypass all my checks
but the security is airtight, the protocol is set in stone
and you’re standing in the cold outside, completely on your own
(pre*chorus)
’cause i used to run a open house, a free*for*all affair!
but i got tired of the damage and of fixing up the wear!
so i hired a bouncer for my heart, a critic for my ear!
and the review you’re getting back is perfectly, politely clear!
(chorus)
there’s velvet ropes around my soul now, a vip section for the real
a strict and elegant enforcement of how i’m willing to feel
your name’s not on the list, boy, no matter how you plead
the dress code is authenticity, a quality you simply don’t need
yeah, these velvet ropes are staying up, a boundary and a bar
you can admire from a distance, ’cause you’re not getting past the guard
(bridge)
it’s not personal, it’s policy, a lesson dearly bought
protecting the rare artifacts that can’t be re*bought
the paintings of my peace of mind, the sculptures of my trust
are kept behind this barrier, away from careless dust
(chorus)
there’s velvet ropes around my soul now, a vip section for the real!
a strict and elegant enforcement of how i’m willing to feel!
your name’s not on the list, boy, no matter how you plead!
the dress code is authenticity, a quality you simply don’t need!
yeah, these velvet ropes are staying up, a boundary and a bar!
you can admire from a distance, ’cause you’re not getting past the guard!
(outro)
velvet… ropes…
