1.Unscripted lines overflowing and tangled—
2.Today, too, I search stubbornly
3.Not knowing the meaning
4.Of playing a role as myself5.
6.Surely, positive and negative
7.Are just a matter of perspective, right?
8.I know that,
9.But it’s not easy
10.I can’t see what’s beyond
11.These cloudy lenses12.
13.From playing house to suddenly
14.Becoming a professional—
15.It’s not that easy
16.Even so, I dove into
17.This super-hard world with a cheer18.
19.Becoming someone else
20.Is a hundred, a thousand times easier
21.Than conveying something real
22.But I still want to move forward
23.La-la-lai, la-la-lai, la-la-lai, la-la-lai
24.“I” and “lie” intersect in complex ways
25.Ah, the indigo sky turns crimson26.
27.“See, I told you so,”
28.“That’s not how it goes in textbooks”—
29.Those rigid, cluttered thoughts
30.No, they’re just piled-up trash
31.And only what I researched thoroughly myself became my truth32.
33.So let’s drop the idle chatter
34.Pretty words alone don’t have any flavor
35.Here’s to fresh ideals
36.Squeezed and pure37.
38.Becoming someone else
39.Is a hundred, a thousand times easier
40.Than conveying something real
41.But I still want to move forward
42.La-la-lai, la-la-lai, la-la-lai, la-la-lai
43.“I” and “lie” intersect in complex ways
44.Ah, let’s call this melody
45.Our youthful spring46.
47.So much I don’t know yet, and it’s exciting…
48.Scenery I’ve never seen before is dazzling…49.
50.Just throwing a tantrum, pretending not to see the truth—
51.Rather than becoming unable to act without stage directions
52.I’ll dive in and search
53.For an unprecedented, non-fictional truth54.
55.Becoming someone else
56.Is a hundred, a thousand times easier
57.Than conveying something real
58.But I still want to move forward
59.La-la-lai, la-la-lai, la-la-lai, la-la-lai
60.“I” and “lie” intersect in complex ways
61.Ah, the indigo sky turns crimson62.
63.Ah, and your future from here
64.Can be dyed any color
