Lyrics:

English Translation

‘Who am I?’ the question I had my whole life
The question which I probably won’t find an answer to my whole life
If I were answerable with a few mere words
Then God wouldn’t have created all those various beauties

How you feel? How are you feeling right now?
Actually I’m real good but a little uncomfortable
I’m still not so sure if I’m a dog or a pig or what else
But then other people come and put the pearl necklace on me

Ptui! I laugh more than I did before I dreamt of becoming a superhero
Now it feels like I really became one, but as it goes on there’s so much blabbering
One says ‘run’ another says ‘stop’
This one says ‘look at the forest’ that one says ‘look at the wild flower’

My shadow, I wrote and called it ‘hesitation’
It has never hesitated after becoming that
It keeps appearing under the stage or the light
Keeps glaring at me scorchingly like a heat wave (oh sh*t)

Hey have you already forgotten why you even started this
You were just digging it that someone was listening
Sometimes everything sounds like freakin’ nonsense
You know what comes out of you when you’re drunk… like immaturity

Someone like me ain’t good enough for music
Someone like me ain’t good enough for truth
Someone like me ain’t good enough for a calling
Someone like me ain’t good enough to be a muse
The flaws of mine that I know, maybe that’s all I’ve got really
The world is actually not interested in my clumsiness at all

The regrets that I don’t even get sick of anymore
I tumble with them every night until I’m disgusted
And twist the irreversible time habitually
There’s something that raised me up again every time the first question
The three syllables of my name and the word
‘But’ that should come before any of those

So I’m askin’ once again yeah
Who the hell am I?
Tell me all your names baby
Do you wanna die? Oh, do you wanna go?
Do you wanna fly?
Where’s your soul? Where’s your dream?
Do you think you’re alive?

My name is R The ‘me’ that I remember and people know
The ‘me’ that I created myself to vent out, yeah
Maybe I’ve been deceiving myself
Maybe I’ve been lying but I’m not embarrassed anymore
This is the map of my soul

Dear myself, you must never lose your temperature
Cuz you don’t need to be neither warm or cold
Though I might sometimes be hypocritical or pretend to be evil
This is the barometer of my direction I want to keep

The ‘me’ that I want myself to be the ‘me’ that people want me to be
The ‘me’ that you love and the ‘me’ that I create
The ‘me’ that’s smiling, the ‘me’ that’s sometimes in tears
Vividly breathing each second and every moment even now Persona

Who the hell am I?
I just wanna go, I just wanna fly
I just wanna give you all the voices till I die
I just wanna give you all the shoulders when you cry
Persona

Who the hell am I?
I just wanna go, I just wanna fly
I just wanna give you all the voices till I die
I just wanna give you all the shoulders when you cry
