(Verse 1)
The filter’s on, the aperture is wide
There’s no backstage left, nowhere to hide.
We traded linen for the flashing light
Every little crack now broadcast bright.
They call it sharing, demo hontō wa
It’s a performance for the judging eye.
Kono atarashii sekai
Demands your secrets, demands your cry.
(Pre-Chorus)
Dareka no tsumi
Dareka no kanashimi
Zenbu shōhin ni kawaru
Kono Garasu no Stage de.
(Chorus)
The Glass Stage is breaking, but we keep posing!
Nani o miseru?
The shame you hide, the smile you're choosing.
Seigi wa dōko?
We strip away the dignity for clicks and noise
Iro ga kawaru
We’re just puppets with programmed voice.
(Verse 2)
Subete ga hyōka sareru
Sukoshi no kizu mo yurusarenai
Kore ga jiyū da to sakebu
Keredo, doko ni mo nigeba wa nai
Jōshiki to wa?
Atarashii fuku wa, hadaka yori mo usui
Open wide, open wide, until nothing remains.
(RAP SECTION)
Yeah, check the feed, the mirror broke, but the reflection's clean.
We're selling trauma for the views, the ultimate scene.
Aibō, you got problems? monetize the pain!
We don't need the therapist, we just need the fame.
Soko ni wa Uso ga aru, don't you dare look close.
The crowd is hungry, feed them drama, give them the ghost!
You preach integrity, then you flip the script for cash.
Minna kuchi dake, yeah, the digital trash.
You post the prayer, but your soul is an empty shell
Kore ga jigoku ka? The life you chose to sell.
(Chorus)
The Glass Stage is breaking, but we keep posing!
Nani o miseru?
The shame you hide, the smile you're choosing.
Seigi wa dōko?
We strip away the dignity for clicks and noise
Iro ga kawaru
We’re just puppets with programmed voice.
(Bridge)
Mō ichido shizukesa o
Kimi no naka ni mitai
Hontō no kokoro no koe wa
Ima, nani o sasayaku?
(Outro)
Close the window, turn the camera off.
Koko kara hajimeyou
The Glass Stage is Dark...
Kono yoru ni...
