"Go carve out your own destiny," yeah, that's what they always say
But real life ain't no fantasy RPG
No secret ending waiting at the end of the grind
"Hard work always pays off" — what a polished plastic lie
LinkedIn prophets and filtered smiles, I still swallow every bite
Feeding glitter-coated dreams into a rusted grinding machine
The brightest lights I chase are always powered by somebody's grief
Up late grinding till the dawn, still got nothing in my hands
Behind every happy smile, somebody's breaking down
"Trick or Treat"
"Better give me something sweet, or I'm gonna mess it up"
"Give and Take"
"Want the prize? Then sell your soul"
"Chase after your dreams" — then they kick away the ladder
Behind their highlight reels, my days keep burning gray
Picture-perfect endings only happen on the screen... right?
"You're the main character of your life," keep repeating that line
Sure, it feels good — till I realize I'm just an extra in my own movie
"Trick or Treat"
"Better fake another smile before they throw you out"
"Give and Take"
"Want the prize? Then bleed yourself dry"
In this real-world rulebook, winners and losers drown in the same mud
No matter how hard you fight, you can't rewrite the rules
I'm just another pawn in... this cruel... game
Dancing like marionettes with gold stitched into my skin
Laughing through painted teeth while the wires yank my limbs
Still I search for a way out somewhere in the dark
Clawing for a piece of hope in the cracks of the night
Just to quiet these worn-out ghosts for another night
At the very end of this game… What the heck is waiting for me?
Trick or Treat
Even if I got nothing sweet to give, I'll still mess it up
Give and Take
Without selling out my soul… how far can I really go?

Trick or Treat
Garbage Garden
"Trick or Treat" is an English-language electronic / alternative pop track by Garbage Garden, driven by glitchy digital textures, hyperpop-like density, and a fast-moving beat. The song takes aim at polished success stories, motivational clichés, and the cruel rules behind the idea of "chasing your dreams." Turning a childhood phrase into a negotiation with a world that keeps asking for more, it asks how far one can go without selling out their soul.
Artist Profile
Garbage Garden
Garbage Garden is a Kobe-based artist project shaped by Yulmi's writing, concept design, visual direction, and sonic curation. Blending alternative rock, electronic textures, cinematic pop, and experimental sound design, Garbage Garden creates songs for the fragments people leave behind: damaged memories, invisible care, lost childhoods, anxious nights, and the quiet survival of those who were never meant to shine. The project does not romanticize pain, nor does it seek pity for the discarded. Instead, it searches for the inherent light that persists within the glitch; the self-luminescent truth buried inside emotional debris and broken systems. Behind Garbage Garden is Yulmi, who builds the project as a world of digital ghosts, fractured narratives, and fragile connections. Its music moves between distortion and tenderness, turning private wounds into cinematic songs of survival, memory, and self-reclamation. This is not a lament for the past, but a reclamation of the present.
