STORY

"Mask" is a narrative about shedding a false smile and returning to one's true self.

Whisper-like guidance, a powerful beat, and deep synth tones wrap around the listener, lighting a fire in the heart at the signal of "Break the mask." The hope discovered within pain cuts open the night. It is a dark pop track capturing the exact moment you resolve to hide no longer.

Translation

夜の帳に隠れた影A shadow hiding in the veil of night

何もできずに怯えてたFrozen, helpless, trembling in my fear

Fake smile, trembling insideFake smile, trembling inside

心の声を閉じ込めたままThe voice of my heart still locked away

囁くように流れる風A whispering wind drifts through the dark

「まだ終わりじゃない」と告げるTelling me 'this is not the end'

Break the mask, light the fire insideBreak the mask, light the fire inside

誰も知らない私が今ここにThe me that no one knows is standing here

壊れた夢の破片で描くDrawing with the fragments of a broken dream

New world, my true desireNew world, my true desire

鏡の中に映る他人のような顔A face like a stranger's mirrored in the glass

過去の嘘に縛られてたBound by the lies of the past

Behind the mask, I was fadingBehind the mask, I was fading

でも涙が教えてくれたtruthBut the tears taught me the truth

沈む月が道を照らすThe sinking moon lights up the road

目を逸らさず、立ち上がるWithout looking away, I stand up

Break the mask, awaken my nameBreak the mask, awaken my name

光と闇が交わる瞬間The moment light and darkness meet

痛みの中で咲いた希望Hope that blossomed in the pain

Now I know who I amNow I know who I am

静寂を裂く心の鼓動My heartbeat tearing through the silence

偽りを焼き尽くすようにAs if to burn every lie to ash

Fly through the night, no fear insideFly through the night, no fear inside

この声が未来を変えていくThis voice of mine will change the future

Break the mask, I’m not afraidBreak the mask, I'm not afraid

真実の刃を胸に抱いてHolding the blade of truth to my chest

もう二度と隠れはしないI will never hide again

This is me, reborn tonightThis is me, reborn tonight
