Yeah

Do you want to change your life？

Change your mind.

Just going now Just going now

yeah yeah yeah

演じなきゃ愛されない？

ありのままみせんの怖い

Ah からまたやめて　逃してくぞ

change your life

つーか愛されたい？　隠しちゃ伝わらない

からTRYしてくだけ　I’m努力の天才

弱さを隠して　言い訳上手くなって

プライドばっかデカくなって

実際がんじがらめ

Life はファッションじゃねえ

やめなハートにコスプレ

そのままじゃお前は no way!　じゃあ叫べ 本音！

お前は誰？　ただの奴隷?

俺を目指してく憧れの上の上

I'm みゆきしろがね　鳴らせ心の鐘

欲しいもん手に入れるため　曝け出せ

俺の演技は憧れのスペック

このままじゃいつまでも愛せないmyself

本物なる為のステップ

いつか奴に告らすため磨くmyself

唯一無二のこの生き様重ねて

いつか fake を real にするだけ

唯一無二のこの生き様重ねて

Yeah Yeah Yeah

Just going now, Just going now

Yeah, Yeah, Yeah

Can't be loved if you don't keep up an act?

Scared to show your true self intact

Ah, so you always quittin', let your chances slippin' by, so

Change your life!

You want some love, I bet you do. Hide that and it won't get through.

You gotta try, 'n stick to that—I'm a genius at goin' hard!

You're just hiding your weakness, got more legit excuses

Only thing growin' is your pride

While you're bound by your own devices!

Life ain't no fashion show

Quit swathing your heart with cosplay

Keep this shtick up and you'll have no way, so shout your true feelin'!

Who are you really? Just a slave, I see?

I aim for the top of the topmost, for the self I can look up to and boast

I'm Miyuki Shirogane, come on, ring the bells of your soul for me!

If you wanna seize whatcha want then come—and lay it all bare!

I "act" to be what I aspire, it's my spec

If I stayed the way I were, then I could never love myself

To make this my reality, I take a step

Someday I'll get her to confess, so I'mma hone myself!

I go on living this way, familiar to me and no other

So that someday what's fake turns real, I'll make it occur

I go on living this way, familiar to me and no other

Yeah Yeah Yeah

Someday, I'll change my life Yeah

It's my Non-Fiction!

It's my Non-Fiction!

Yeah Yeah Yeah

Kanji, English,

Fluencies decide your worth

Triangular heart like an average score,

How to mellow out and make it right?

Life's like snakes and ladders, so intense my brain is in tatters

Baby, your heart's so far—the top rank in the nation could be closer

What do you really wanna convey? What do you really wanna do?

Pitch, or rhythm, or rhyme, they do matter,

But don't you got something to say

Beneath all that disarray?

No talent, I'm a big flop—Still, I'll try hip-hop

Even so, it trips me up, the "student council prez's pride"

Get over shit like that, and that's when we'll get to see

The real you and me, so come on and lay it all bare!

I "act" to be what I aspire, it's my spec

If I stayed the way I were, then I could never love myself

To make this my reality, I take a step

Someday I'll get her to confess, so I'mma hone myself!

I go on living this way, familiar to me and no other

So that someday what's fake turns real, I'll make it occur

I go on living this way, familiar to me and no other

Yeah Yeah Yeah

Someday, I'll change my life Yeah

It's my Non-Fiction!

It's my Non-Fiction!

It's my Non-Fiction!

It's my Non-Fiction!

### Translation Notes

Translation: **Meera Malhotra** *(The English lyrics were made sing-able, so hope you enjoy them^^)*

### Cultural References

1. ↑ **Kanken and Eiken** refer to language proficiency tests—mainly for those who are hoping to enter university or need a certification for their careers. **Kanken** is short for the Kanji proficiency test known as **Kanji Kentei**. **Eiken** colloquially refers to the STEP English proficiency test conducted in Japan.
2. ↑ 2.0 2.1 **Sankaku and Maru** is a wordplay on the words Sankaku (lit. *Triangle*) and Maru (lit. *Circle*) respectively. Whilst grading papers, a triangle is bestowed for an average grade or a sub-par answer, whereas a circle is for correct answers and good grades. "Sankaku" when written with different characters (三革) means "armor"; and a common idiom using "Maru" is "Maruku naru" (lit. *to mellow out, become rounded*).
This line describes Shirogane's insecurities, as he closes his heart off because he feels he is average, even though he actually wants to improve himself and open up.
3. ↑ **Sugoroku** refers to a Japanese board game which uses dice. It has been replaced with the better-known Western game "Snakes and Ladders" for localization purposes, since the rules and gameplay are similar.
