Personz Lyrics

規則だけの生活なんて
まるで時代錯誤ね
話す言葉もちぐはぐ
誰も見ていない 誰も何も聞かない
おしきせの約束に
誰もが口を閉ざしている
いつも押さえつけられて
うまく逃げることを いつの日か
覚えさせられてゆく
NO WAY! しらけた瞳のままで
OH NO! ロボットになりたくない
NO WAY! 後悔の涙よりも
OH NO! 未来へと続いてゆける
小さな ひと欠片の 勇気が 欲しい
一握りのエリート 皆んな
それを目指しているの?
誰が決めた道なの?
何も分かってないのね
誰と比較され 誰のマネをしてても
自分だけのシナリオ
いつでも書き変えられるのよ
いつも悩んでばかりで
何をしてもつまずいて
うまく逃げることを いつの日か
覚えさせられてゆく
NO WAY! 覚めてく瞳のままで
OH NO! 人形になりたくない
NO WAY! 後悔の涙よりも
OH NO! 未来へと続いてゆける
小さな ひと欠片の 希望が ほしい
NO WAY! しらけた瞳のままで
OH NO! ロボットになりたくない
NO WAY! 後悔の涙よりも
OH NO! 未来へと続いてゆける
NO WAY! 覚めてく瞳のままで
OH NO! 人形になりたくない
NO WAY! 後悔の涙よりも
OH NO! 未来へと続いてゆける
小さな ひと欠片の 希望が ほしい
The lyrics of "Enfant Terrible" by Personz explore the frustration of always being constrained by invisible fences and living under constantly enforced rules. The singer expresses that such a life is a relic of a bygone era and the language they speak is no longer relevant in the present. The song continues to address the experience of feeling suppressed and watched always, yet unnoticed and unheard by anyone. The chorus highlights the desire to break free from these limitations but the fear of succumbing to societal pressures, becoming a robot-like individual which runs counter to the singer’s true self.
The lyrics express the feeling of being continually watched, limited, and undermined by the expectations of the society. The singer proclaims that regardless of society's standards, one needs to break free and perform their own reality. They feel that their own scenario is unique and can be modified anytime as per their wish. The song accentuates the idea of staying true to oneself and having the courage to follow one's own path, despite the fear of being judged and analyzed by the society.
