The Masked Stage

The shadow that lurks behind the smile Everybody sheds invisible tears Suppressing our true voices Meeting expectations Seeking and being asked for The world continues to perform This world is like a stage, everyone is playing a role Forgetting who we really are Continuing to wear masks Ohhh この世界はまるで舞台 誰もが　役を演じ 仮面を　捨てては 生きてはいけない ありのままの自分さえ演じる 奇妙な世界 自分が誰なのかさえ 分からない Family, lovers, even friends If you don't act, it will fall apart You want and you are wanted You act out who you really are A strange world You don't even know who you are Even though you know it's fiction, your emotions are overflowing この世界はまるで舞台 誰もが　役を演じ 仮面を　捨てては 生きてはゆけない I don't even know who I am Even though I know it's fiction I love you The subconscious mind cannot differentiate between reality and illusion.
