The Dollmaker's Revenge

Galactic Curiosities · 2:54 · Pop

This track is part of the catalogue. Its video will be added after publication on the label’s channel.

WITHIN THE ALBUM

The cabinet of stories that spill over.

Galactic Curiosities opens the drawers of Riva Glow’s imaginary shop. Hologram Hearts, The Dream Merchant’s Shop, and The Shadow Puppeteer give faces to objects, trades, and desires that escape everyday life. The word galactic signals boundless curiosity here rather than a scientific journey.

The thirteen tracks offer a gallery of characters, from the collector to secret societies. In the label’s story, Riva offers them a light so that their strangeness can be considered with care. Every listener remains free to make a different story of them.

The Dream Merchant’s Shop offers a doorway; Hologram Hearts opens the complete journey.

Original lyrics

Text supplied in the project files. The original language is preserved.

Crack goes the face, shatter goes the smile
She's been waiting here a while

Pretty little Alice fell
From her shelf into this hell
Bisque and lace, button nose
But her heart, nobody knows
Sawdust bleeding from her seams
Haunting all the dollmaker's dreams

Wind her up and watch her go
Dancing fast then dancing slow
Smashing every pretty show

She's the dollmaker's revenge
Coming for her just amends
Porcelain fury, glass-eyed hate
Sealing up the dollmaker's fate
No more children she'll create

Raggedy Ann leads the charge

Tiny army growing large
G.I. Joe with missing limbs
Sings the dollmaker's last hymns

She made us perfect, she made us whole
Then threw us away when we got old
Every crack, every stain
Now she'll know a doll's true pain

We're the dollmaker's revenge
This is where her story ends
Stuffing scattered, springs unwound
In the playroom battleground

Now the dollmaker's the doll
"And we're the ones in control"
