Lyric

Lullaby Before Detention is a song about a night where the most visible person feels the most alone. Outside a convenience store in the middle of a crowded nightlife district, a drag queen sits smoking and watching the city move around them.

Surrounded by loud voices, flashing police lights, and restless energy, the protagonist exists inside an unexpected silence. Through melancholic city pop and broken dance music textures, the song captures the feeling of discovering loneliness in the brightest places.
