Back in late 2022, I heard that Soyou covered that song, I was like WHAT? I'M GONNA MAKE IT BETTER THAN SOYOU!

Here it is my Metal Guitar Cover of 9MUSES' well known popular banger back in early 2013, "Dolls"

First of all, this song is the most well known 9MUSES song ever, and back in June 11th, 2021, there's a MMTG Special Stage of this song, (alongside with After School's "Diva" and 2PM's "My House"), also, in late 2022, Soyou (SISTAR) released her cover of this song and everyone was shocked, because of that, I should do a Metal Guitar Cover of this song, but the Namyu's version, and I also know, this song is first ever to feature Sungah, which is also pre-debut member of Namyu, alongside with Kyungri, but both Sungah and Kyungri leaves Namyu before their "Let's Have a Party" debut album, then Kyungri rejoined Namyu in late 2011 and Sungah rejoined Namyu in late 2012, and the interesting thing about this song is definitely the chorus part, which has the most recurring motifs, basically the question is the first chorus part (the "Sarangi mworago" part) and the answer is the second chorus part (the "Sarangi geureochi" part) on this song, reminds me into most of Dream Theater songs (notably on "Metropolis Pt.2: Scenes from a Memory" album, "The Astonishing" album, even "Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence (song)" and "The Twelve-step Suite" as well) which is very interesting, and also, Lee Sem is completely beautiful, alongside with Moon Hyuna, Euaerin, Hyemi and Sera, and this song is definitely one of my favorites

Aside from that, arrangement wise, I made it into more Heavier Metal influenced, and of course, I play all of those french horn part on electric guitar as well, and I also put the epic chugging riffs at Lee Sem's verse, and I also put the guitar solo at Euaerin and Eunji's rap part, which I really liked very much, and of course, Miryeonhage oh oh~

Lyrics - Hangul:
꼭 아니라고는 말을 못하겠어
너 가버린 후로 맘이 허해져서
심장은 멎어가고 내 숨은 죽어가
매일 눈물이 찾아서 또 추억에 먹혀서

난 더욱 더욱 더욱
이토록 아파 매일 매일 매일
미워도 모자랄텐데 널 탓해도 되는데
하루가 멀게 그리워해 널

사랑이 뭐라고 그게 다 뭐라고
찢기는 마음마저도 소중하게 해
시간이 지나면 모든게 잊혀진단다
매일 위로를 하면서 나 난
미련하게 oh oh

외로이 싸워가는 내 시간 속에서
나를 조금씩 찾아가 널 하루씩 지워가

넌 나 나고
나 역시 너 너 너였다
위험한 맘이였나봐 그게 잘못됐나봐
알아도 매번 그러잖아 난 oh

사랑이 그렇지 그게 다 그렇지
너에게 받은만큼 다 돌려주는 것
그때도 그랬듯 아픔도 잠깐이란다
많이 행복했었으니 나 난

Yeah, 나 아직도 바보같이 하루도 빠짐없이
널 또 생각해 하루에도 수백번씩
나 아파 내색 못한걸 알고는 있을걸
You remember? I was your girl, now I'm a lonely girl
잊혀져서 두려워진다는게
더 힘들게 나란 여잘 울리게 만들게 하는데 yeah
이대로 흘러가는게 널 잊어버리는게
나를 못 견디게 해 I don't know what to say

사랑이 뭐라고 그게 다 뭐라고
찢기는 마음마저도 소중하게해
시간이 지나면 모든게 잊혀진단다
매일 위로를 하면서 나 난

사랑이 그렇지 그게 다 그렇지 (미련하게 oh)
너에게 받은만큼 다 돌려주는 것 (oh, oh, oh)
그때도 그랬듯 아픔도 잠깐이란다
많이 행복했었으니 나 난
미련하게 oh oh
미련하게 oh oh
