“Paper Lady” tells the story of a new recruit into the Ladybirds – a revolutionary group that is fighting back against the Senators of Starlight and their dystopian control.
This song is inspired by “The Cutie Map Part 1 +2” (MLP:FIM S5 E1 + 2), in which a pony named Starlight Glimmer creates a vil...
[Verse 1]
For over thirty years just to keep us living peacefully
They made us all wear the same smile that was never there
Came to one afternoon, discovering my mind was free
That was when she found me, the very first to learn to care
We trust the paper lady and we're giving it hell
But every day there's less of us evading the spell
[Chorus]
We heard the paper lady gave you something to do
Guess it means you're gonna be a ladybird too
I need to ask you something, will your answer be true
We don't know what to make of what they said about you
Seems they were hearing something in your voice on the phone
That drew them to the elements for reasons unknown
We're hoping you're remembering it's your job alone
To stop the senators of starlight taking you as their own
[Verse 2]
We'd tried so many times to get our hooves on the elements
Six unholy gems born of the alicorns of yesteryear
No one but the paper lady knew where the senators
Were keeping them, she got us in, we took them and we brought them here
Another falls to the senators' peace
The whispers in my head are never going to cease
Sitting looking up at the stars every night
Now I don't quite remember why I wanted to fight
[Chorus]
We heard the paper lady gave you something to do
Guess it means you're gonna be a ladybird too
I need to ask you something, will your answer be true
We don't know what to make of what they said about you
Seems they were hearing something in your voice on the phone
That drew them to the elements for reasons unknown
We're hoping you're remembering it's your job alone
To stop the senators of starlight taking you as their own
[Verse 3]
I volunteered myself to take the elements home
Turned in the paper lady, did it all on my own
Now I know for sure that things are how they should be
I can surely say the senators of starlight are we
