Lyric
Simply Creepy: The 5:50 Absurdity (feat. Stefan) [ENG]
SHIONO, Twilight Master
Every time I turn around, there you are again
Hiding by the lockers, pretending we’re just friends
Your headphones screaming "lonely," your eyes a shade of gray
Honestly, you're one phone call from being locked away!
Dying for me every day, what a tragic show
But you’re the only reason why the blood begins to flow
Zombies at the gate? That’s a nightmare, it is true
But the real horror story is just being next to you!
You hold that bat and act so brave, like a hero in a play
But you’re just a red flag waving, in your own twisted way
Staining every memory with that dark and heavy "ink"
Don’t you think it’s time to find a therapist, or a sink?
I can't stop saying "Creepy!" — let me be clear
Don't kill me a million times just to keep me near
I’m not a little doll in your fantasy world, boy
I’m a living, breathing human, not your lacquer toy!
I can't stop saying "Creepy!" — with a sunny smile
Don't paint me in your darkness, it’s really not my style
Even if I said "I love you" in that hospital bed
It was just the morphine talking, or the voices in your head!
When you saved me from those guys, yeah, I cried a little bit
But that doesn't mean I want to be a part of your "perfect hit"
Can you take that heavy backpack and just throw it in the sea?
Along with all your "retakes" and your weird obsession with me!
I can't stop saying "Creepy!" — in this golden light
Let's spend our lives together, but out of my sight
If you try to reset time again, I’m telling you the truth
I'm transferring to another school and taking back my youth!
I can't stop saying "Creepy!" — with all my heart
Go find another story, ‘cause this is where we part
Write it in your little notebook, make it nice and neat
But keep your "absurdity" away from my street!

SHIONO, Twilight Master
When the clock strikes 5:50 PM, will you wake up from the nightmare, or fall deeper in love?"
The viral Japanese novel *RETAKE SYNDROME* by Twilight Master-a shocking, cynical masterpiece that deconstructs the "hero saves the girl" trope-is expanding its universe with a double A-side English musical release.
Novel: https://kakuyomu.jp/works/2912051598132070603
Starting from the urban legend of a mysterious guidebook, the story traps a boy and a girl in a horrifying time loop of his own creation. Now, that chilling narrative is brought to life through the nostalgic, high-energy sounds of 90s pop-rock.
Ruka's POV - "Simply Creepy: The 5:50 Absurdity"
A breezy, optimistic soft-rock track with crystal-clear female vocals that delivers a brutally sarcastic twist. The heroine completely rejects the boy's "heroic" sacrifices, dismissing his horrific time loops and delusions with a cheerful but icy "Creepy!" It is the ultimate satirical rejection anthem for anyone who has ever been the target of an unwanted, obsessive savior.
Enter the Loop. RETAKE SYNDROME challenges your morals and redefines psychological horror. Is it the ultimate sacrifice, or the ultimate cage? Listen to the tracks, read the story, and decide for yourself.
"The bell rings at 5:50 PM. There are no more retakes."

Alongside my day job, I continue to pursue creative writing. I constantly strive to maintain an objective, third-party perspective on history and detail throughout my creative process. It's a continuous cycle of envisioning scenes and imagery while adding text and words, but my guiding principle is to craft quality works. I believe that without fulfilling my social responsibility as an author, my work holds no value. Thus, I adhere to the creed that -The pen is mightier than the sword-. Also, I am a multilingual creator who continues to explore and express emotions that cannot be fully captured by words, translating them into high-quality music that deepens and extends the experience of my work. Welcome to my Universe!
