Oh, the same Uh, someone else I need some fare to serve I need some shame to stop myself (Stop myself) Oh, the same Uh, someone else I need some fare to serve I need some shame to stop myself (Stop myself) And then at least I decided to meet his will I wish to get sorted at least as fair I'm not a fighter by means of fate A beast, not a whore but at least a maiden And then at least I decided to meet his will I wish to get sorted at least as fair I'm not a fighter by means of fate A beast, not a whore but at least a maiden Oh, the same Uh, someone else I need some fare to serve I need some shame to stop myself (Stop myself) Oh, the same Uh, someone else I need some fare to serve I need some shame to stop myself (Stop myself) And then at least I decided to meet his will (A beast, not a whore but at least a maiden) I'm not a fighter by means of fate (A beast, not a whore but at least a maiden) Since now I tried to twist his will - I said, since now I tried to twist his will - I need some brains to start afresh (Start af- ) Oh again Oh, drop the strain I need some man to train I need some brains to start afresh (Start af- ) Oh again Oh, drop the strain I need some man to train I need some brains to start afresh I'm honestly speaking for the right Of finally tearing down this farce I'm sorely grieving to recall When I did it all When I did it all When I did it all When I did it all When I did it all A beast, not a whore but at least a maiden A beast, not a whore but at least a maiden Since now I tried to twist his will - (A beast, not a whore but at least a maiden) I said, since now I tried to twist his will - (A beast, not a whore but at least a maiden)

about

"Fare To Serve" is about grooming, and female sexuality in a porn-addicted society.
Upon entering puberty, young girls are pressured into choosing the role they are supposed to interpret in the following years, before even knowing what the show is gonna be about.
The false dichotomy they face is that between playing the part of the "sexually liberated" woman or the pitiful nun.
The game is rigged for constant loss, as no measure of walking the line will satisfy the salivating audience.
"A beast, not a whore, but at least a maiden" reframes female desire as a need that comes from within, a life affirming instinct that longs for human touch and connection, as opposed to the performative will to please, to "serve" in front of a pornified gaze.
Shame is tossed out of the equation "I need some shame to stop myself" but as implied, there is gonna be none.
"Fare To Serve" is a chaotic, ironic, exasperated cry stating that every attempt to adhere to arbitrary social norms just for the sake of finding a moment of relief from the never-ending torment of being judged, is but a betrayal of the self.
