アイドル (Idol) Lyrics In Romanized – YOASOBI

[Intro]
The introduction sets the stage by presenting the idol as an untouchable figure whose charm and mystery captivate the media. The singer, YOASOBI, is praised as a "perfect" and "genius" idol, but this perfection is built on lies. The intro emphasizes how the idol's image is meticulously crafted to maintain control over how they are perceived by the public.

[Verse 1]
Here, the song delves into the daily life of the idol, with seemingly innocent questions like "What did you eat today?" or "Where do you go for fun?" However, the idol evades these questions, reinforcing the idea that everything about their life is shrouded in mystery. This reflects the pressure to maintain an image that is appealing yet distant.

[Verse 2]
The verse continues with the theme of evasion. The idol is asked about their preferences and relationships, but they again avoid giving direct answers. The repeated use of "no" highlights how the idol constantly shields their true self, making it clear that their public persona is not reflective of their reality.

[Pre-Chorus]
In this section, the idol admits they don't understand love, and it’s unclear whether they are being truthful. Regardless, their words still manage to make people fall for them. This reinforces the idea that the idol's charm lies not in honesty, but in the carefully constructed persona they present to the world.

[Chorus]
The chorus celebrates the idol's ability to captivate everyone with their perfection, calling them "the ultimate idol." Even though their words may not always be true, the public continues to admire them. The line about the idol's eyes and words being flawless, even if they are lies, highlights the idea that appearances are everything in this world.

[Verse 3]
This verse reflects the resentment and jealousy felt by others who support the idol. The singer expresses frustration at being overshadowed by the idol's perfection. Despite these feelings, they cannot deny the idol's strength and charm, admitting that only the strongest, like the idol, can be admired.

[Chorus]
The chorus repeats, reaffirming the idol's role as an unbeatable, perfect figure who must hide any weaknesses. The idol is placed on a pedestal, and any deviation from perfection is unacceptable, reinforcing the immense pressure they face.

[Bridge]
In the bridge, the idol acknowledges that their career is built on lies, but views this deception as a form of love. The image they present to the public is a performance, and they hope that one day, their lies will become reality. The imagery of sweat and tears hidden behind a perfect facade reflects the internal struggle of the idol.

[Pre-Chorus]
The pre-chorus continues the idol’s confession, as they admit that they have never experienced love. Despite this, they hold on to the hope that their lies will one day turn into the truth, revealing the idol’s desire for genuine emotions amidst the performance.

[Chorus]
The final chorus reflects the idol’s greed to achieve everything they desire, including the hope of loving their fans sincerely. However, the idol acknowledges that they continue to lie, hoping that one day, those lies will become true. Despite their desire to express their real emotions, the idol remains trapped in their role.

[Outro]
In the outro, the idol finally declares their love, claiming that this time, it is not a lie. The repeated assertion of love and the acknowledgment of the idol as a "savior" signifies the culmination of the idol's journey, where they blur the lines between reality and performance.
