🎵 "Best Lead Actor Syndrome"

This is a hip-hop track that depicts the temperature gap between the ideal image others see and the reality only the person themselves knows!!
By the way, for the middle part, I actually danced and had it captured by AI to make the music video.

I also sang almost all of the vocals myself this time!
I think this is the second time I've fully opened up about myself in lyrics?

🎵 "Best Lead Actor Syndrome"

Your own life
Who is the lead actor? Are you living in the now?
In your life
there is only you

I was told again today
The guys you date are always handsome
Your work and hobbies are glamorous
Your cooking is perfect too
Clad in talent and beauty
That person who stands alone

They say you're smart
They say you're good-looking too
They say you can do anything
Huh?
That's the first time I've heard that

Talent and beauty?
That's a convenient four-character idiom
It sounds nice, doesn't it?
But this thing called beauty
Can also become a curse disguised as a blessing

You age as the years go by
Don't you even know that?

Smart?
Sounds nice, doesn't it?
Endless review
Question with no answer
Overtime just in my head

Can do anything?
Sounds nice, doesn't it?
Panic and deadlines too
They come for everyone equally

Good at cooking?
I've never said that
Where are you getting that from?

Face to Face
Then,
shall I show you
my life's instruction manual?

Envy
shame
Attachment
void
Pain
control
Lack
guilt
Discomfort
dissonance

By Chapter 1
you're surely already vomiting
I'll declare it

The die is cast
No one can play your part
The die is cast
No one can play your part
The grass on the other side is enough, right?
It's your turn now
Perform it to the end
Win the award
Take your bow

The emotion deep inside that envy
Shall I expose it?

Is it looks?
Is it talent?
Is it a title?
Is it applause?

That's not it, is it?

It's not that I want to be someone else,
I just want to look away
from my own life, don't I?

An appraisal in the subject's absence,
sold out again today.
Someone I don't know
is talking about a me I don't know.

A smiling photo,
a beautiful profile,
a clipped highlight,
a convenient storyline.

A me that I don't know
is becoming someone's idol again today.

Then I'll give you my life,
I'll tie it up with a pretty ribbon.

The moment I'm checkmated is a blackout,
the words I swallowed,
the sleepless midnight.

Take it all together
side effects included
all inclusive

No refund
Because you're jealous, aren't you?
No refund
Because you're jealous, aren't you?

Even in the moment you're cornered
it's a gamble on whether you can survive, Hey

Even though you don't know
the real me...

The die is cast
No one can play my part
The die is cast
No one can play your part

Before looking at the grass on the other side
this once-in-a-lifetime life
there's no leaving early
live it to the fullest
act it out to the end
and win the award

No one can play your part

The die is cast
No one can play your part

The grass on the other side is enough, right?
It's your turn now
Perform it to the end
Win the award
Take your bow

Even though you don't know
the real me

But you know,
I am
the best leading actress
of my own life

Got a problem with that?

「頭がいい」「綺麗」「何でもできる」
そんな言葉を向けられるたびに思う。

その人が見ているのは、
本当にその人の人生なのだろうか。

誰かのハイライトを羨む前に、
自分の人生の主演を引き受けろ。

これは、他人から見た理想像と、
本人だけが知る現実の温度差を描いた楽曲です。
