Lyrics: Mizuki Nana
Music: Mizuki Nana

12. Ego Ideal

I can’t say what I want to say
I scribble them down, I defeat and discard them
Someday I will become completely detached from them, my notes filled with scars

Pretending I can’t hear anything,
sprinkling a laugh, where are you going?
If I had high-volume earphones, hey,
I wonder if I would be able to make my voice into a shape?

Resound, like an endlessly drifting falling star
Earnestly and without regulations in my lame sky
If it’s a melody that’s nowhere else to find, it will reach
I’m fine with being laughed at, I want to sing with all my power

Deluded with only ideals
Besieging myself with questions
It’s driving me mad, bound by restrictions
As soon as I notice, I strike another pose

In the heat of the gazes directed at me
restraints don’t work and I get bewildered
I want to tidy up the optional things
that pile up every day thoroughly and neatly

Scream, lost lonely figure, until you blow out the flame
What’s clumsy even now is my sound that tries to show off
If it’s an extravagant dream, arrangements have been made
I will only look forward, I want to believe in this single step

Only getting stuck
in leaping high and far
putting off the essential things
I thought about it too much
I want to become more free

Resound, like an endlessly drifting falling star
Earnestly and without regulations in my lame sky
If it’s a melody that’s nowhere else to find, it will reach
I’m fine with being laughed at, I want to sing with all my power
