Heartless One-Man Show

-The life theater of the lonely puppet-

"*A solitary theater.*"— **Description from the music video**
**Heartless One-Man Show** (ハートレスワンマンショー, *Haatoresu Wanman Shou*[?]) is a song by Guchiry featuring IA. It is the seventh track of the album *Mugenhouyou*, the fifth track of the album *As Life Scatters Away*, the seventh track of the album *Yume Monogatari*, and the image song for Shoko Wanman.

### Guchiry's comment

Hello, this is Guchiry.
I'm not sure what you really mean.

I moved to Osaka last month, and living alone for the first time is fun but a hassle.

I'm also lonely, so I'm doing a Romeo and Juliet skit by myself.

どうも私はありきたりの　何でもない凡人なんです

全て人並みステータスで　友だちも人並みにいます

相も変わらず普遍的な　毎日を過ごしています

他愛無いやり取り1つで　笑っていられる日々だ

なんでもないような　日常が積み重なって出来た生を

それなりに過ごして　それなりに楽しんでるだけ　だけ　だったんだ

誰もが憧れる理想はいつも　偽りだらけの世界だったようだ

何かを捨てていく度に　自分が分からなくなった

演じるくらいならそんなの簡単さ　ただ正解をなぞる毎日だ

マリオネットみたいだ　独りじゃ動けないや

どうも私は私自身を　演じることが嫌になって

「くだらない」と払い除ければ　また独りになっていく

楽しいかい？　嬉しいかい？　悲しいかい？　苦しいかい？

今どんな感情が正解かわからない

それならば　もういっそ　終わらせて　しまおうか

ハリボテの幸せを切り裂いて

誰もが憧れる理想はいつも　偽りだらけの世界だったようだ

何かを捨てていく度に　自分が分からなくなった

演じるくらいならそんなの簡単さ　ただ正解をなぞる毎日だ

これで良かったのかな

誰も見向きもしないようなワンマンショー　誰かが作った都合のいい舞台は

何かを得るために大切な何かを犠牲にしていたんだ

演じるくらいならそんなの簡単さ　ただそういかないのが人生だ

マリオネットみたいだ　独りじゃ動けないや

俯瞰して　俯瞰して　操り人形を動かして

自由を得たつもりが　実は自分が操られていた

どうして　ねえどうして　心から笑えないの

ねえどうして　ねえどうして　ねえ

Hi, I'm just a run-of-the-mill, ordinary person

I have all the status of a normal person, and I have all the friends of mine are normal people

The days are as universal as ever

These are the days when we can laugh at one silly exchange

A life made up of a series of ordinary days

I was just having a good time, enjoying myself in my own way

It seems that the ideal that everyone aspires to has always been a world full of lies

Every time I threw something away, I lost my sense of myself

It's easy enough to play the part, just trace the correct answer every day

I'm like a marionette. I can't move on my own

Hi, I'm sick of playing myself

If I brush it off as "crap" I will be alone again

Are you having fun? Are you happy? Are you sad? Are you in pain?

I don't know what feelings are right now

If that's the case, let's end it now

Cutting through Haribotes happiness

It seems that the ideal that everyone aspires to has always been a world full of lies

Every time I threw something away, I lost my sense of myself

It's easy enough to play the part, just trace the correct answer every day

I don't know if this was the right thing to do

A one-man show that no one cares about, a stage of convenience created by someone else

I was sacrificing something important to get something

It's easy to play a role, but life doesn't work that way

I'm like a marionette. I can't move on my own

Look down, look down, move your puppets

I thought I was free, but it turns out I was being manipulated

Why, hey, why can't you laugh from the bottom of your heart?

Hey, why, hey, why, hey
