TMP: Born From Broken Things
K-pop horror anthem with industrial synth-pop base. Mid-tempo (90–100 BPM). Intro chant with layered group vocals, followed by rhythmic verse with tight harmonies. Use shimmering synths, sub bass, and glitch textures. Pre-chorus lifts with eerie pads and vocal stack tension. Chorus hits hard with distorted vocal layers, rhythmic emphasis on “We told you.” Bridge is spoken monotone over ambient distortion. Final chorus slows slightly, vocals unravel with glitch effects. Instruments: synth pads, sub bass, vocal chops, ambient noise, minimal percussion. Korean lines echoed in English. Tone: confessional, recursive, dry. Structure: verse–pre–chorus–chorus–bridge–final chorus.

Lyrics
Verse 1
Plastic cups clink, tunes rising through the air,
dappled gray a splash of pink, perfume in your hair.
Uber doors slam, high heels hit the street,
We smile for the cameras, perfect, yet incomplete.
Grease on the table, sweat on the skin,
You cheer for the show, we drink it all in.
Pre-Chorus
We live we, we breathe, but is it all a dream?
But we were born from broken things.
우리는 버려진 것들에서 태어났어
(We were born from discarded things)
You clap, you cry, you scream for more,
We drain the night, then sweep the floor.
Chorus
Wtold you, we were never real.
We told you, we don’t even feel.
우리는 도깨비야
We are Dokkaebi.
You called it love. You worshipped me.
Ohhh ohhh, this isn’t cosplay, babe.
Ohhh ohhh, we’re just what you made.
Bridge – Spoken
나는 거울이었어. (I was a mirror.)
그는 소주잔이었어. (He was a shot glass.)
그녀는 오래된 테이프였어. (She was an old tape.)
우리는 쓰레기였어. (We were trash.)
이제 우리는 도깨비야. (Now we are Dokkaebi.)
Final Chorus
We told you, we were never real.
We told you, we don’t even feel.
우리는 당신의 욕망으로 살아
We live off your desires.
You called it art. You worshipped me.
Ohhh ohhh, this isn’t cosplay, babe.
Ohhh ohhh, we’re just what you made.
