Description
When the smoke in the room has already cleared, and dreams of fame have become points on the business calendar, a strange sobriety comes to replace delight. The one looking from the mirror blinks familiarly and whispers: “You are you, even under a layer of brands, likes and show programs.” Success no longer screams - it whispers to the rhythm of the beat. And inside there is no longer just one voice, but a whole dialogue with oneself. And even though everything is still glossy on the surface, inventory has been going on inside for a long time. No discounts, no filters, but respectful of the journey.
Lyrics and translation
Original
さぁ何から話そうか
何もねぇてあの頃は
いやあったと言ったら
この音楽へのピュアな衝動と高揚感
あの頃仲間と hot box
煙るフリスタとハッパ
夢追うの楽しかった
もう振り解いたワッパ
カッコいい音源で売り捌くデモテープ
持たざる者 成り上がり from ゼロベース
飛ぶ鳥落とすヤツは何でもゲトれる
アーティスト気取りここで狂いはじめる
調子こいていい沸くドーパミング 暴走コーナリング
既読無視 お構いなし 目指すは king
やることなすことすべてイメージ通りに
予約困難店でディナーならざらに 鼻歌まじり
このゲームなら easy
牛耳る真理 wanna be Diddy
あの雑誌の表紙 フェスとか TV 殺到する日々
誰にも譲らねぇこの地位は
誰も入らせねぇ この島
夢なら覚めるなこの時間
再生回数動員数が自慢
凄いね？凄いよ
色んな awards とかブランド物とか
Get like money Floyd
フェスなら断るのがブランディングまじプロいよ？
マーケティングもお手のもの楽勝 腹黒いよ
Yeah, oh 私 俺様 無敵のこのパワー
浴びるシャンペン like shower
Yeah, oh 裏では不倫かな？
ホテルのルームナンバーと名にフリガナ
表じゃ家族想い おぼれるエゴと不条理
どの姿も本当の姿がアイツの本望？
ドキッとしとんのか？
さぁこれに心たり
ある奴いるだろ その辺り
手を挙げなくてもいいんだぜ
そもそも誰かじゃなくて俺の話
色んな経験 色んな成功
色んな失敗 色んなモノ
色んな妄想踏まえて
話してる相手は alter ego
すべてを受け入れここに居る
何周もしてきてここに居る
愛を返すのが労働基準
未だに俺なら昇り龍
今までの基準とか価値が崩れ去る
もうモノとか金じゃねぇ時代が始まる
お前の本質は何なのか
You should know that bro
鏡の中のお前 alter ego すら My G's
English translation
Alright, what should I start with?
Back then, I had nothing
No, if I had to say
It was a pure impulse and exhilaration for this music
Back then, with my friends, hot box
Smoky freestyle and weed
Chasing dreams was fun
Now I've shaken off the handcuffs
Selling demo tapes with cool tracks
Have-nots, rising from zero base
Anything that drops from the sky, they can get
Playing artist here, starting to go crazy
Feeling good, dopamine bubbling, out of control cornering
Read-ignored, no worries, aiming for king
Everything I do goes exactly as I imagine
Dinner at a restaurant with reservations impossible is the norm, humming a tune
This game is easy
Controlling the truth, wanna be Diddy
The cover of that magazine, festivals, TV, days of constant calls
I won't give up this position to anyone
No one can enter this island
Don't wake up from this dream, this time
Proud of the number of plays and attendees
Amazing, isn't it? Amazing
Various awards, and brand items
Get like money Floyd
Refusing festivals is branding, really pro, right?
Marketing is a piece of cake, easy, black-hearted
Yeah, oh, me, myself, this invincible power
Bathing in champagne like a shower
Yeah, oh, an affair behind the scenes, maybe?
Hotel room number and name with furigana
On the surface, family-oriented, drowning in ego and absurdity
Which figure is the true form, that's his true desire?
Are you shocked?
Alright, be prepared for this
Is there someone around who has a clue?
You don't have to raise your hand
It's not about anyone, it's my story
Various experiences, various successes
Various failures, various things
Including various delusions
The person I'm talking to is an alter ego
Accepting everything, I'm here
Coming around many times, I'm here
Returning love is the labor standard
I'm still the rising dragon
The standards and values until now are crumbling
The era where it's not about things or money is beginning
What is your essence?
You should know that bro
You in the mirror, even alter ego, are My G's
