📖 The Story

Everyone has hidden parts of themselves—the "ugly daughter" they were told wasn't good enough, wasn't polished enough, wasn't quiet enough. This song is for the moment you stop apologizing and start screaming.

Inspired by the universal experience of hiding your true self, of burying the parts that don't fit the image others expect. Twenty years of "yes" when you meant "no." Twenty years of biting back the undertow.

This is about the moment that mask finally comes off—not a gentle unveiling, but a cathartic explosion. Liberation meets defiance meets vulnerability. The parts we were told to hide are actually the most real.

Mask Finally Coming Off The face you wore so long it almost became you
Someone's Ugly Daughter The parts we're told to hide that are actually the most real
Buried Alive, Resurrected Locked away for decades, finally seeing light
Breaking Out of the Box The perfect image cracking to reveal something raw

🎸 The Sound

Alternative Rock with Explosive Dynamics

Raw alt-rock foundation with explosive anthemic chorus. Dynamic build from intimate vulnerability to full-throttle catharsis. Feels like finally screaming what you've whispered for years. Distorted guitars that build from restrained to unleashed. Gang vocals on the final chorus for collective release.

📝 Lyrics

They dressed me up in smiles I didn't own Told me pretty girls don't scream alone So I buried her beneath the polished floor Locked the door and swallowed the key Twenty years of "yes" when I meant "no" Twenty years of biting back the undertow But she's been clawing at the walls Every night she screams and calls Can you hear her now? I'm someone's ugly daughter The one they tried to drown Someone's ugly daughter And I'm coming up for sound Tear the mask right off my face Let the whole world see the mess I'm someone's ugly daughter And I'm done with being less They said the noise I made would break the brand Said these fists were made for waving, not a fight So I learned to smile through gritted teeth While she paced her cage behind the glass Every spotlight threw a shadow no one saw Every standing ovation hid the flaw But I'm tired of the silence Tired of my own compliance Can you feel her now? I'm someone's ugly daughter The one they tried to drown Someone's ugly daughter And I'm coming up for sound Tear the mask right off my face Let the whole world see the mess I'm someone's ugly daughter And I'm done with being less Maybe you won't love her Maybe you'll walk away Maybe she's too much, too loud, too real But she's not going back in the cage She's not going back No, she's not going back! I'm someone's ugly daughter The one they couldn't drown Someone's ugly daughter And I'm screaming now Tear the mask right off my face Every scar and every mess I'm someone's ugly daughter And I'm finally what I am Someone's ugly daughter! Finally coming out! Coming up for sound... Someone's ugly daughter now...
