CINDERELLA STORY : THE ALBUM
1- PUMPKIN HEAD { goes to the tune of pentagon's shine }
PUMPKIN HEAD is Faerie's debut song and title track. It was praised for otimizing the member's cuteness but still being undoubtedly an unique and energetic track. The song details the thoughts of someone in love with a person that doesn't like them at all and their lovesick journey to make their significant other tolerate them.
'' Guess I'm just a pumpkin head,pumpkin head
A seed brain lovesick fool "
2 - SLIPERRY { goes to the tune of apink's eung eung }
SLIPERRY is Faerie's promoted bside . It was included in the album and promoted to fight the backlash Faerie's cute concept got. While still having conventions of the cute genre and soft vocals, Sliperry is definitely a more mature and mysterious track. The lyrics tell the story of the insecurities two lover's feel,their fear of their love not being mutual and that opening their hearts to each other will hurt them.
"This path is sliperry
dont go falling in love
one trip and you're gone
when midninght strokes
would you run for me? "
3 - 1 MINUTE TO MIDNIGHT ( goes to the tune of cosmic girl's starry moment )
1 MINUTE TO MIDNIGHT follows the album's theme of bending cute concepts with different sounds. This time mixing hip hop beat twists and melodic vocals. The song is from the perspective of a lover begging their crush to overcome their shyness so their mutual pining can come to an end. The narrator uses the fact that it's 1 minute to midnight to motivate their partner to confess.
'1 minute to midnight,please be a little braver
my heart aches from our shared silence
please let us not be silent under the moonlight anymore "
4 - THROUGH THE WINDOW ( goes to the tune of red velvet's red flavor )
THROUGH THE WINDOW deals with the non-romantic message of Cinderella's story and takes the character's innocent optimism as a way of delivering uplifting words to their new fans. The song is told from Cinderella's perspective and describes a relived feeling of hope she feels as she watches the birds sing and the sun shine through her window. It was produced by Eddie.
'The dust goes through my lungs,heavying my hurting heart
but then i see a breach of light through the window
the heat fills my hopes and again im ready to face the day"
+ BONUS TRACK
+ STEPSISTER'S LAMENT - EDDIE SOLO- goes to the tune of zico's predator
STEPSISTER'S LAMENT is a heavy 'i will kill your face ' type beat rap song. The song was written and produced by Eddie a few months after his departure from 7RONIN and it was initially just a medium for him to express his anger. He made it in one day and keept singing it until 3 am, kicking and jumping on his bed. The song takes a dive into Eddie's mind during his months with the group. It walks a thin line between being self deprecating and revengeful, Eddie seems to have internalized what the boys told him he was but at the same time desperately wanting to prove they are wrong. In the song Eddie sarcastically mocks his own rap skills only to spit fire in the next second.
' Yea I'm just the ugly stepsister put me in the back they wont care
just some buck teeth kid nobody remembers
there's no reason for a guy with such a fucked up face to dance with princes
so you can just leave me in the gutter, i'll crawl my way up"
