psychological warfare
Single2025
An ambiguous smile, a calculated silence, a wavering gaze. "Mind Games" depicts a romance defined by psychological warfare where lies and truth blur together, set to a mysterious dark pop groove. It is a game of nerves where touching means falling, and the atmosphere turns to sweet poison the closer you get. Each time you probe—"Where is the real you?"—both heartbeats race off course like a trap. Fake or Real? Truth or Fake? At the end of this night of mind games, there is neither winner nor loser—only an answer that belongs to the two of you alone. It is a glamorous, tension-filled, mysterious song for grown-ups.

Lyrics (Japanese)
曖昧な笑みの裏で
計算された沈黙が揺れる
駆け引きの影を踏み越えて
You're hiding truth behind your eyes
探り合うほど深く落ちていく
静けさが刺すように
胸の奥を締めつける
Every move, every breath
すべてが罠のようで
心理戦の夜に踊る
Fake or real? 問いかけるたび
揺れる Heartbeat 嘘か真実か
Break this lie, break this tie
逃がさない… 互いの心を試すように
優雅な仕草で近づいて
触れる距離の中で微笑む
「本当のあなたはどこ?」
I can hear your whisper in the dark
見抜けないふりで誘っている
張りつめた空気さえ
甘い毒に変わっていく
Secrets melt in the night
心さえ操られていく
交差する視線の奥
Tell me now 隠した鼓動を
揺れる境界線は 罠か願いか
Tie me down, pull me in
ほどけない… この駆け引きの渦
引き返せないほど
We’re too far to lie again
手の中の truth or dare
選ぶたび 心が試される
Who will win this game tonight?
心理戦の果てに残る
Truth or fake? 決着の火花
胸を焦がす痛みさえ
Love or hate… 二人を離さない
Break the fear, steal the light
最後の駆け引きは あなたと…
Translation
Behind that ambiguous smile
A calculated silence trembles in the air
I step across the shadows of our games
You're hiding the truth behind your eyes
The more we probe, the deeper we fall
The silence stings, tightening deep inside my chest
Every move, every breath
Everything feels like a trap
Dancing through this night of mind games
Fake or real? Each time I ask
A trembling heartbeat—is it a lie or the truth?
Break this lie, break this tie
No escape... as if putting each other's hearts to the test
Approaching with a graceful gesture
Smiling within a breath of touching me
"Where is the real you?"
I can hear your whisper in the dark
Luring me in, pretending you can't see through me
Even this air pulled taut and tense
Turns into a sweet poison
Secrets melt in the night
And even my heart is being controlled
Deep behind our crossing gazes
Tell me now, the hidden heartbeat
This trembling borderline, a trap or a wish?
Tie me down, pull me in
I can't break free... from this whirlpool of games
We've come too far to turn back now
We're too far to lie again
Truth or dare held in my hand
And every choice puts my heart on trial
Who will win this game tonight?
At the end of these mind games, what remains?
Truth or fake? The sparks of our final showdown
Even the pain that burns through my chest
Love or hate... it will never let us go
Break the fear, steal the light
The final game is with you...
