Mit „The Puppeteer“ konfrontiert Popstipendiatin Soffie patriarchale Strukturen, wie die Fetischisierung von Minderjährigen, und macht auf „Rape Culture“ aufmerksam. Eines ihrer wohl unangenehmsten Themen, verpackt in zerbrechliche Sounds, die mehr als nur einen Gänsehautmoment verursachen.
2022 eröffnet Soffie die Bühne für Artists wie Trille, Ichiko Aoba & May the Muse und hinterlässt mit über 370K Views und 45K Likes auf TikTok und Instagram einschlägigen Eindruck.
lyrics
I've been touched by you before
In so many different ways
First to rise and first to fall
I've been smothered by your gaze
Like a needle to a vein
You act and talk with ease
Blinding all the sane
Puppeteer come pull my strings
I'm ready for you
You got my hands ready for you to use them
Lift an arm take a step
I will dance for you
And bow right after
It is not the way I dress
You oppress me
Or the way I part my hair
Braided pigtails
It's your greed
It's your game
But there lies power in the weak
Drug induced what a shame
It was never me
Puppeteer come pull my strings
I'm ready for you
You got my hands ready for you to use them
Lift an arm take a step
I will dance for you
and bow right after
It is not the way I dress
You oppress me
Or the way I part my hair
Braided pigtails
It's your greed
It's your game
But there lies power in the weak
Drug induced what a shame
It was never me
