[Single - 週刊うまくいく曜日 (Successful Days Weekly)] Johnny's WEST - Chameleon
(whispers) if you wanna see the lyrics with the official mv on youtube there're closed captions here 👀
I hate chameleons with straight faces
They're so quick to change
It's unfair
Even if you swapped one out
They all look the same
Even if I told you the odd one out
You wouldn't have noticed their distant cry
Just because you're tired of searching for happiness
That doesn't mean you can point fingers at others
The ego trapped in my mirror this morning
Knocked at my front door once again
Society pretends to only see the good
Lying to itself
But these stained tears
And pain
Are mine alone
To be told to live like someone else
It's excruciating, excruciating
A mirror fogged by your sighs
Can't reflect your true self
If you keep stopping yourself from crying
Your tears will dry up, dry up
Even if you try to hide your bleeding wounds
The pain doesn't disappear
I'm tired of living
In a facade
"My, showing off, are we?"
"I'm better than them"
Just saying these things
Whips up a storm of self-loathing
Holding no expectations for yourself
Mimicking someone else
Whose spy are you?
In this colourfully adorned era
It's an irony we speak in monochrome
With this justice brandished
There's no space for humour
Society finds fault, deciding what's flawed
But I just want to connect
My heart and body that went astray
To be told to live like someone else
It's excruciating, excruciating
A mirror fogged by your sighs
Can't reflect your true self
If you keep stopping yourself from crying
Your tears will dry up, dry up
Even if you try to hide your bleeding wounds
The pain doesn't disappear
I'm tired of living
In a facade
Let me hear
Your voice
Show me
Your true colours
A blank and unseen future
Do you destroy it?
Or protect it?
To be told to dream big
I'm not ready, not ready
If you just keep hurting others
You won't find a place to belong
If you keep stopping yourself from crying
Your tears will dry up, dry up
Even if you try to hide your bleeding wounds
The pain doesn't disappear
I'm tired of living
In a facade
