01. WAITING FOR YOU

UserPostedImage
LENGTH: 4:19
GENRE: Alternative, Acoustic
SONGWRITER: Barbie Doll
PRODUCER: B.D.


"I got no chance, you wouldn't even look at me/Her tears are falling, she's called Stephanie" 'Waiting For You' is a emotional acoustic song, lyrically it's about loving someone who doesn't love you back. A One-Sided 'Relationship' until she gets dropped for a different girl. The writing has been done, as on every song on the EP, by Barbie Doll and the Production has also been done by Barbie Doll.

I got no chance, you wouldn't even look at me
Her tears are falling, she's called Stephanie
I know her really good, she's living next to me
And boy she always loved you, she needed you
She realised, she wasn't good enough for you
You wouldn't even look at her, she wasn't pretty enough
But you choosed somebody else, over her
I know she's loving you
But I love you even more

But everyone wants you when you shine
Like a butterfly flying to the sun
There is always somebody chasing you
But I'm always waiting for you, even when you're alone
And my heart breaks, everytime I see you with someone else

Up there on stage, with your beautiful soul
Everyone wants you , everyone loves you
They want to see the king on stage, see your light
They love you
But not as much as I do
My heart aches everytime you show up
It's beating fast and hard, but you wouldn't even look at me
Here I am sitting alone
Singing for you,
Babe, I loved you

But everyone wants you when you shine
Like a butterfly flying to the sun
There is always somebody chasing you
But I'm always waiting for you, even when you're alone
And my heart breaks, everytime I see you with someone else

You said I'm special, but wouldn't even look at me
You said you would treat me right,
But you didn't even treat me wrong
I will catch you
But you wouldn't even look back and say thank you
But here I am , sitting alone, singing a song for you
And my heart aches once again, for you

But they all want you,
But not as much as I do

LENGTH: 4:00
GENRE: Indie Pop
SONGWRITER: Barbie Doll
PRODUCER: David Kosten, B.D.


"Running To The Unknown" is the second song on the EP and has been produced by David Kosten & B.D. The song has been written by Barbie Doll and is about finding your path to your loved one. "And I wait on the other side/On this frozen ground/And I look up to the sky/And I see the light", Barbie's soothing voice is perfectly balanced out by the production and her voice is supported by a deeper voice in the background.

1000 miles away from you
I'm on the other side of the land
Look for a time, to be with you
A cold breeze rush through you

And I wait on the other side
On this frozen ground
And I look up to the sky
And I see the light

It's like a bullet, looking for a way to you, guide me to my happiness
And the world seems to be brighter brighter brighter
And with every move I take, I feel the summer in my heart

Running to the unknown, I look for you
Running to the unknown, I look for you
Running to the unknown, I look for you
Running to the unknown, I look for you

I see you on the other side and look to your eyes
I feel the warmth inside of me
And beyond the sad song, the city
The espers still kiss me

And I wait on the other side
On this frozen ground
And I look up to the sky
And I see the light

It's like a bullet, looking for a way to you, guide me to my happiness
And the world seems to be brighter brighter brighter
And with every move I take, I feel the summer in my heart

Running to the unknown, I look for you
Running to the unknown, I look for you
Running to the unknown, I look for you
Running to the unknown, I look for you

03. UNDER THE SKY

UserPostedImage
LENGTH: 3:19
GENRE: Indie Pop, Alternative
SONGWRITER: Barbie Doll
PRODUCERS: Jonathan Steward, B.D.


"Under The Sky" was the second single from Barbie Doll, released through Songs To Love And Die By. The record was produced in March, 2016 in New York with Producer 'Jonathan Steward'. The Song is completly written by Barbie Doll/Stephanie Red. The song is categorised as "Indie Pop" and "Alternative" but has elements of electronic and other un-specific genres. The song was the follow-up to lead single "Human", which got praised by it's message but yet under-performed. The song barely entered the Top 10 for a week at #8 but quickly died down and managed to reach the Gold Certification after a few months.

Lyrically, the song is about being left alone with everything around somebody crashing down. Everything falls apart, with having no control anymore over anything. Her man leaving her behind, her mother going away with teary eyes. Basically, It's a beautiful yet sad song about just being lost. "He eats me alive and walks further in/And he leaves everything behind/Leaves Me Alone", "Mom cries and walks away/Leaves my soul alone and behind", "Rest in peace, leave my soul in peace"


This world rips
Our hearts apart
Times of need
We are alone

Under The Sky
We Cry Alone

Under The Sky

Bones crack under our skin
He eats me alive and walks further in
And he leaves everything behind
Leaves Me Alone

Under The Sky
Under The Sky

Mom cries and walks away
Leaves my soul alone and behind
The rain makes my skin feel alive
While she faces my revive

Under The Sky
Under The Sky


They closed their eyes only once
They closed their eyes only once
They closed their eyes only once
They closed their eyes only once
They closed their eyes only once
They closed their eyes only once

I've seen my destiny already
Each time they close their eyes I say goodbye
Rest in peace, leave my soul in peace

I've seen my destiny already

UserPostedImage
LENGTH: 3:53
GENRE: INDIE POP, BUBBLE GOTH
SONGWRITER: Barbie Doll
PRODUCERS: David Kosten, B.D.


"Forgive" is the fourth song on the EP and has been produced by David Kosten & B.D. Genre-wise it's an Indie Pop/Bubble Goth song, which has similarities to one of Barbie Doll's previous songs like "Dead". Lyrically, it's about losing control of your life. Feeling miserable and shattered, depressed. "You can forgive/But your heart will never forget/And they will ask you, what's wrong?/Everything, Everything"

Don't cry,
You know, no one is perfect
We all make mistakes
Don't cry,
Some of them will break you
But that's not the end, you'll survive

You can forgive,
But your heart will never forget
And they will ask you, what's wrong?
Everything, Everything


You don't even care, You don't even care
So why do you even ask? Because I'm broken and small?
Yeah, Whatever. It's too late, It's the end
It's fate, it was meant to be

You can forgive,
But your heart will never forget
And they will ask you, what's wrong?
Everything, Everything

It's fate, I'm choosen to be broken
Time will heal all the wounds,
but my soul still burns
We fall down, we grow up
But my heart won't care, it's shattered into pieces
Who cares, Who cares
I'm falling apart, let me
Cry until I die

They know you are empty and broken,
They see it , they knew it
Everything you've tried to hide,
Everything you've tried to hide,
Everything you've tried to hide.
Everything, everything

05. HUMAN

UserPostedImage
LENGTH: 4:16
GENRE: Alternative, Indie Pop
SONGWRITERS: Barbie Doll
PRODUCERS: David Kosten, B.D.


"Human" was the first single to be released from the EP and was written by Barbie Doll also known as Stephanie Red and produced by Barbie Doll and David Kosten. David Kosten is known for working with popular Indie Artists. Lyrically, "Human" is about heavy subjects such as rape, racism, bombings etc. It's basically about Humans and their cruel doings. At the end of the song, she questions if our behaviour is something we learn or are born with. If humans are killing for themselfs or if they are killing eachother. She states that Humans are selfish, and don't think about the consequences.

Murder kills Lifes
So does Wars
Surviving in a cruel world
Rich against poor
at the end of the day
We're human species
It's deep in our DNA


One Man can build a bomb
Another one runs a race
to save somebody's life
It just blows my mind
I'm not alone, Not the only one
Who can't understand
I'm not scared of God
I'm scared of Human
Is It in our blood
Is it in our brain
Is it in our genes
Is it in our DNA
Humans aren't pretty at all
as we think, as we speak
Human kills, Human kills

Undernath it all, we're just selfish
hidden behind clothes, ties and marriages
How could we expect good at all?
we're just animals who can't live together
We live, We die
We murder, We kill, we lie
worse than animals
but with no face
We laugh, We cry
all in the same time
One sided laugh, one sided cry
The same world
Same Day, same tale of rape
another bomb is ticking deep down and detonate
I'm not alone, Not the only one
Who can't understand
I'm not scared of god
I'm scared of Human
Watch it on the news
Watch it on the TV
watch it on your phone
It's a cruel world
Humans are cruel, cruel , cruel
Yeah, we can be bad , really bad

Undernath it all, we're just selfish
hidden behind clothes, ties and marriages
How could we expect good at tall?
we're just animals who can't live together
Undernath it all, we're just selfish
hidden behind clothes, ties and marriages
It's the truth, we make our own graves
we're worse than animals, killing our own species
All the hate coming from the same generation
Who got everything nothing guided by temptation
were we born to abuse, shoot a gun to run
or are we undone?
is it human trait or a learned behaviour?
Are we killing for ourselfs or are we killing us?

Undernath it all, we're just selfish
hidden behind clothes, ties and marriages
How could we expect good at all?
we're just animals who can't live together

Undernath it all, we're just selfish
hidden behind clothes, ties and marriages
How could we expect good at tall?
we're just animals who can't live together

Erica: well isnt this just the feel good bit of the season . For someone so colorful.... Barbie is kind of a downer.

Nina: no. I think that's what the title is saying. She feels a lot of shit,you know?

Erica: she and my sister should tour. Be colorful little doom imps together. But i do like this ep. It carries weight to it,so you know Barbie is saying something. Even if it makes me sad.

OOC: I'm not sure if I've ever gotten the chance to say it before but I absolutely love everything you've done with Barbie Doll. She's such a great character, one of the ones you don't even need to Roleplay with to get to love, her music and look speaks so much of her and I love every song on this ep. It's a great body of work and I'm mad that you didn't turn it into a full album!
