The Self That Won't Disappear

The Self That Won't Fade Away

Lyrics: ibuneko
Composition: vivi

Amidst the routine of daily life, I find myself
Contemplating and scrutinizing my own score and worth-
Gripped by the sensation that the "me" from my student days-
The one who kept up appearances-is reflected in shattered glass.

A heart torn by contradiction:
Yearning to be acknowledged despite the stifling constraints,
Yet playing the role of someone deemed necessary.
