KAYTIE – Miss Innocent

Bagaimana kalau KAYTIE memang bersalah?

Ia sendiri yang bertanya begitu. Miss Innocent lahir setelah persahabatannya bubar dan seluruh tuduhan dibebankan ke pundaknya. Alih-alih membela diri, ia mencoba percaya pada tuduhan itu. Persis murid yang mengaku memecahkan kaca kelas bukan karena terbukti, tapi karena kebetulan berdiri paling dekat (kasihan).

Di reff, KAYTIE sempat merasa lebih baik hati daripada gadis-gadis lain yang penuh kebohongan. Lho lho lho. Untungnya ia langsung meralat diri di baris berikutnya. Bait kedua yang melantur ke urusan mencari pacar terasa hanya demi rima, dan kita sedikit geregetan karenanya.

Lagu ini ditulis di depan piano dengan bumbu kunci minor. Namun ia tak dibiarkan murung dan dibawa berlari ke dark pop dan pop rock. Vokal latar menumpuk, lalu ketukan dan bass menghentak penuh. Ada kemurungan yang tetap bisa dipakai bergoyang. Kepala kita mengangguk, padahal liriknya sedang menggelar sidang untuk pemiliknya sendiri.

“i’ve proven myself guilty”, nyanyinya menjelang akhir Miss Innocent. Sidang ditutup tanpa seorang pun mengetuk palu.

Lirik Lagu KAYTIE – Miss Innocent

Miss Innocent - KAYTIE
verse 1:
how many times have a lost a friend? well, more times than i could break or bend
i left things to chance, but hoped that they’d mend, and tried to focus on other things instead
but the memories kept coming back, one by one, act by act, then the intermission hit and now reality’s back, and i’m wondering why this had to happen like that

PRECHORUS
is it something i did? is it something ive done, did i lose sight of the morning sun?
did i misinterpret? did i not listen? or did i overthink again and i messed with your head?

chorus:
B B Bb B mid
where did i mess up? where did i go wrong? is there a point where people saw i wasn’t strong?
i thought i was nice! i thought i was kinder - than those other girls who are covered in lies
but clearly i’m not, i have my own problems , i let people get too close then i realize im uncomfortable

post chorus:
so why did i get like this, i thought i was “Miss Innocent” but i can’t even cover it, i’ll always be a part of it
so now i have no plea, i’ve proven myself guilty, you can say what you want to me
“Miss Innocent” has left me

verse 2:
so now that i know who i truly am, i know my flaws, i know where i stand
i still wonder if i’ll find a man, or a friend who believes if i think, i can
but i know it’s useless, because i know how it ends, every friendship breaks and bends
no one wants to understand, they just want to reprimand

PRECHORUS
is it something i did? is it something ive done, did i lose sight of the morning sun?
did i misinterpret? did i not listen? or did i overthink again and i messed with your head?

chorus:
where did i mess up? where did i go wrong? is there a point where people saw i wasn’t strong?
i thought i was nice! i thought i was kinder - than those other girls who are covered in lies
but clearly i’m not, i have my own problems , i let people get too close then i realize im uncomfortable

post chorus:
so why did i get like this, i thought i was “Miss Innocent” but i can’t even cover it, i’ll always be a part of it
so now i have no plea, i’ve proven myself guilty, you can say what you want to me
“Miss Innocent” has left me
