えっ？え、本当に？

Wake up, check the numbers
Did anyone care while you were sleeping?
Fifty likes and you feel alive
Zero likes and you're convinced you're dying

Curated smile, filtered face
Everything staged for the algorithm
義理の数なんか意味ない
あなたの本音を私は知りたい

Don't send me chocolate out of obligation
I won't eat it — it means nothing to me
Give me something real or give me nothing
もうお腹いっぱい 本音をください

ミンナチガッテミンナイイ
でも良いモノは良い　ダメなものはダメ
Everyone's a critic, no one has taste
Viral doesn't mean valid
バズっても意味ない　心が動かなきゃ
This is not your echo chamber
Wake up.

Your followers don't know your face
They know your highlight reel
Thousand strangers cheering your name
But do any of them actually see you?

Obligatory hearts on obligatory posts
義理いいねで回る世界
I don't want your chocolate
I don't want your pity likes

Give me something real or give me nothing
義理はいらない　本音をくれ
Don't send me chocolate out of obligation
I won't eat it — it means nothing to me

ミンナチガッテミンナイイ
でも良いモノは良い　ダメなものはダメ
Everyone's a critic, no one has taste
Viral doesn't mean valid
バズっても意味ない　心が動かなきゃ
This is not your echo chamber
Wake up.

えっ？え、本当に？

Everyone is different, and that's okay
That's what cowards say
Too scared to call it bad
Too scared to call it good
ダメなものはダメ　良いものは良い
That's not cruelty — that's respect
Your kindness melts away — bland and forgettable
その優しさも退屈で溶けてゆく
Keep it. I'd rather go hungry.

ミンナチガッテミンナイイ
でも良いモノは良い　ダメなものはダメ
I don't need your algorithm's blessing
I don't need your obligatory love
足し算が終わり引き算が始まってる
This is not your echo chamber
Wake up.
