😷 A raw and honest J-Pop ballad about the masks we wear and the courage to show our true selves. For everyone who's ever hidden pain behind a smile.

LYRICS: (Japanese)

また　うまく笑えた気がする
鏡の中の僕は　きっと優等生だ
「元気そうだね」って　誰かが言うたび
胸の奥のざらつきが　そっと黙り込む

本当の気持ちなんて　言わないのが大人だって
誰が決めたんだろう

微笑みの仮面をかぶって
今日もまた　うまく生きてるふりをしてる
痛みを知られたくなくて
強がってる僕を　君は見抜いてたね

すれ違う人の目を　避けながら歩く
「大丈夫です」って　繰り返す防衛本能
優しさは時に　刃より鋭くて
心の奥の柔らかいとこ　切り裂いてく

泣きたくなる夜ほど　誰にも会いたくなくて
誰かを求めてる

微笑みの仮面がひび割れ
隠してた涙が　頬を伝っていく
壊れることを恐れて
壊れかけた僕を　君が救ってくれた

何も言わず　ただ隣にいてくれた
その沈黙が　本当の声に聞こえた

もう仮面なんか　いらない
素顔の僕を　君に見せたいんだ
たとえ　不器用な表情でも
笑える日が来ると　信じてみたいから

誰もがきっと　何かを隠してる
その優しさに　今日も救われている

(English Translation)

On the day I pretended not to notice,
your voice wavered like a trembling flame.
I searched for the right words,
but they slipped through my fingers like grains of sand.

The sky was too bright to look up at,
so I kept my gaze on the asphalt instead.
The truth hid behind a smile,
a mask I couldn’t take off.

The mask of a smile—
it’s worn so well, even I start to believe it.
Even the sadness deep in my chest
becomes something I show no one.

The clock’s ticking sounds cruel
in a room without you.
The more I try to fill the emptiness,
the more it echoes in the dark.

We were chasing the same dream once,
running without looking back.
But somewhere along the way,
our paths began to fade apart.

The mask of a smile—
so no one will notice the cracks.
If I could bare my heart just once,
would you still stay by my side?

Even if the night steals away the colors,
I’ll keep a small light alive inside.
Someday, when I can face myself,
I’ll take off this mask and call your name.

The mask of a smile—
today, it’s still on my face.
But if your hand reaches out to me,
I might find the courage to remove it.

Until that day comes,
I’ll keep walking with this mask of a smile.

Sometimes we all wear masks to protect ourselves, but true connection happens when we find the courage to be vulnerable. This song is for anyone ready to take off their mask.

🌸 A conscious hip-hop track about finding authenticity in life's quiet corners. Sometimes the most important truths can't be Googled - they bloom where no one's looking.

LYRICS:

Corner seat in the café, low talk, no crowd
One word slipped out, but it never got loud
Kept my tears in check, hid ‘em deep in my chest
While the whole damn world kept movin’ like the rest
Spotlight shine, truth start slippin’ away
Only in the silence can the real ones stay

Left some feelings in the corner, still breathin’ slow
Words I never said still got that glow
In a world so fast, my heart stay old school
What you can’t search up is the real jewel

Play my role, get through another scene
‘Til I don’t even know what my name might mean
Scars and mistakes, yeah, they fade quick
But the meaning stays stuck where the hurt did stick
Memories boxed up in the back of my mind
Come back in color when I press rewind
Even the roads I never stepped my feet on
Built this person I’m speakin’ on

Left some feelings in the corner, still breathin’ slow
Words I never said still got that glow
In a world so fast, my heart stay old school
What you can’t search up is the real jewel

Some truths bloom quiet where nobody look
You won’t see ‘em in the light, not in no book
But you—yeah, you—found the real me there
No spotlight, no stage, just the open air

One small thought bloomin’ right by my feet
I keep walkin’ forward, steady, on beat
Hidden truths stay alive in my chest
That’s the only story I can confess

In a world obsessed with the spotlight, this song celebrates the hidden truths that shape us. For anyone who's ever found beauty in the overlooked moments.

Hidden Truths

"Frequency" is an anthem for hustlers who stay true to their grind despite the success of those perceived as inauthentic. The track's energy and swagger convey the message: "yall know - the fake shit winning I stay grinning cuz I stay getting chicken(money) im getting dough". Increase the volume and allow the bass to inspire.

"“SEX FOR MONEY”: An Authentic DIY Snapshot into the Past, Present, and Future of Global Pop-Electronic, Goth-Punk-Alternative Cultures, and Beyond.

The head-turning name with the sound and depth to back it up; after a three year effort, the fourteen track collaborative voyage between Levitation Jones and Lemondoza cultivates into a self-titled album from their debut duo, “SEX FOR MONEY”. The first thing that can be noted about this release is the attention to detail while remaining rooted and confident in its punk attitude and minimalism, not relying on cheap gimmicks. Still a more defining and complete presentation, a bigger production ready for the bright lights, and an exotic but lively dancefloor experience in comparison to either of their solo projects, the grassroots hype and constant whispers on the underground have already brewed a lot of momentum for the pair.

Levitation Jones is, as ever, brash, a little abrasive, and—let’s be honest—delightfully annoying. But that’s exactly what makes him magnetic. A regular innovator while never getting caught in the rat-race, his big-picture mindset has often been executed tastefully but has never been about smoothing edges; it’s about turning those jagged bits into something raw and arresting. Love him or roll your eyes at him, he’s the kind of artist and entertainer who makes you feel something.

Lemondoza, on the other hand, is the concrete—a genuine musician and designer with an unshakable sense of self and a gift for translating the abstract into something that lands in your chest whether it is delivered via her voice, live instruments, her digital production, or on the visual end of her art. Not afraid to manipulate her product with an overload of effects or let the raw power breathe, the Eastern-European understands the task at hand every time. Her talent doesn’t need to announce itself; it hums through every note and grasps every eyeball, grounding the project in a soulful sincerity.

Filling out the back half of things on the album is a plethora of covers, remixes, and VIPs from the duo and special guests of the underground. A true delight whether you are familiar with the acts or discovering them for the first time.

Together, they’ve given us more than just a record. “SEX FOR MONEY” feels like a peek behind the curtain to authenticity in a world that is oversaturated with underwhelming, over-produced, and over-budgeted works. A truthful look at two established creative forces from significantly different backgrounds colliding and finding harmony. It’s messy, intimate, and legitimately beautiful—a treat for anyone who cares about what happens when the process itself becomes part of the art. The duo isn’t just playing with pop and bass music tropes; they’re setting them loose in dark corners of club and festival culture and it’s clear they were not afraid of judgement, instead favoring the right musical choices between their personal tastes and tapping into their personal experiences. The result? Fourteen tracks that aren't shy in any way, ranging between brutal honesty, tongue-in-cheek self-awareness, and oddly affecting vulnerability."

SEX FOR MONEY Album Highlight Mixtape

This song expresses a deep sense of confusion, vulnerability, and spiritual searching. The speaker feels lost in a life they've shaped but don't fully understand, wandering through choices and regrets. They’re looking for guidance, clarity, and identity, asking God to:
• Illuminate their path and help them see clearly
• Take their hand and understand their struggles
• Reveal their purpose and reshape them into something meaningful
The repeated refrain "I don’t know" underscores their emotional honesty and longing for divine direction. It’s a heartfelt plea for transformation, hope, and self-discovery.
