From Behind a Mask
~an FY song by Keri, as performed by Nuriko, Chichiri, Tasuki, and Hotohori~
Nuriko:
As surely as hearts beat,
We dream of being true.
But sometimes, that real us hides,
Just like a wolf in sheep's clothing.
Chichiri:
As surely as water trickles,
We want to face the future.
Not being scared of the past,
But having confidence in ourselves no da.
Nuriko/Chichiri:
But living as ourselves is so hard...
All:
Look to the future with a sunny disposition,
Outshine even the stars!
Realize the power of self-confidence,
And come out from behind a mask.
Tasuki:
As surely as th' fire burns,
Disguises only fail.
Ta truly enjoy life,
Ya gotta make th' best of th' tears.
Hotohori:
As surely as death's not the end,
It doesn't matter what people think.
As long as you keep smiling,
And your true feelings aren't shown.
Tasuki/Hotohori:
I liked it better when I was alone...
All:
Look to the stars with a wish in your heart,
Smile, but cry if it helps!
Be happy with who you are,
And come out from behind a mask.
Nuriko:
I know who I am now.
Ne, isn't this better?
Chichiri:
I'm not afraid to see the world
With my own eyes na no da.
Tasuki:
I'm comfortable with myself,
Though my emotions stay hidden.
Hotohori:
I wish to be seen as who I am,
Not as who I'm supposed to be.
Nuriko/Hotohori:
So we don't meet expectations?
Chichiri/Tasuki:
We don't need to hide anymore.
All:
You have to come out sometime,
With a smile that's for real!
You won't have to pretend,
When you come out from behind a mask.
We've finally looked beyond the mask.
