[Verse 1]
I'm not a perfect person
I know I'll never be
I can't live the way you want
You tell me I'm the poison
You love to watch me bleed
A severely distorted prison of love
[Pre-Chorus]
small world
look outside
I don't trust your words
Gonna touch the blue sky
[Chorus]
prisoner
The days to escape
I'm not a criminal
scream set me free
Even if I'm innocent
chain tied
But never gonna give it up
So just be myself
[Verse 2]
I'm not an evil person
But nobody believes
It's like I'm in prison
I'm not the enemy
Tell me what is wrong with me
What have I done to you?
There's nothing I can do, and before I know it, I'm a prisoner
[Pre-Chorus]
Now or never
breaking through hesitation
Don't be afraid
Gonna touch the blue sky
[Chorus]
prisoner
The days to escape
I'm not a criminal
scream set me free
Even if I'm innocent
chain tied
But never gonna give it up
So just be myself (Just be myself, just be myself, just be myself)
[Chorus]
prisoner
The days to escape
I'm not a criminal
scream set me free
Even if I'm innocent
chain tied
But never gonna give it up
Believe in yourself (believe in yourself, believe in yourself, believe in yourself)
[Outro]
believe in yourself
believe in yourself
believe in yourself
[Verse 1]
In this section, YUTA acknowledges his imperfections, admitting that he can never meet the expectations placed upon him. He feels trapped in a distorted form of love, where he is labeled as a "poison" by someone who seems to take pleasure in his suffering. The use of the word "prison" symbolizes the toxic relationship and the emotional imprisonment he feels as a result.
[Pre-Chorus]
Here, YUTA describes the small and confined world he finds himself in, but he begins to look outward and seek freedom. He rejects the trust in hollow words and strives to reach higher, symbolized by his desire to touch the blue sky, representing hope and liberation.
[Chorus]
In this chorus, YUTA fully embraces the identity of a "prisoner," trapped in his circumstances, yet refusing to give up. He doesn't view himself as a criminal, but he cries out for freedom, even though he is bound by chains of judgment. The line "just be myself" reflects his determination to stay true to who he is, no matter the constraints placed upon him.
[Verse 2]
YUTA continues to struggle with the perceptions of others, asserting that he is not evil, though no one seems to believe him. He feels unjustly punished, as if in a prison, and questions what he has done to deserve this treatment. His sense of helplessness grows, as he finds himself trapped once again in the role of the "prisoner."
[Pre-Chorus]
The second pre-chorus mirrors the first, but with a stronger sense of urgency. YUTA resolves to break through his hesitation and fear, aiming once more to touch the blue sky and find the freedom he so desperately seeks.
[Chorus]
The repeated chorus reinforces YUTA's plea for freedom and his commitment to never giving up. He continues to identify as a prisoner but refuses to let the chains define him. Instead, he focuses on trusting himself, embracing his own truth despite the overwhelming challenges.
[Outro]
In the outro, YUTA repeatedly affirms his belief in himself. The repetition of the phrase "自分信じて" (believe in yourself) serves as a powerful mantra, closing the song with a message of self-reliance and inner strength, suggesting that true freedom comes from within.
