A GREAT FOOL album cover

## Audio

**PERIOD.** is a song by Novel Core. It is the ninth track on his first major album A GREAT FOOL.

## Background

Novel Core explained the history of the song:

>
> "**PERIOD.** is actually a song that I had been working on in 2020, but I reworked it and changed everything except the title. In April 2020, when the state of emergency was first declared, I had just released an independent album (WCMTW), and the 40-50 shows that had been scheduled at the time were cancelled. I was in a situation where I had to live in self-restraint at home for a few months, and it was really tough. But that time of solitude was a chance for me to face myself. It was a song I wrote at the time to face the past; to put a period between who I had been and who I would be in the future.
>
>
> But the lyrics I wrote at the time were really blue, so I kept them to myself and didn't let anyone but myself listen to them. But for me, who has always felt alone in my life, in the past year I've gained more people I can call friends, a passionate staff, and my own fandom. I wanted to put a period again between my old self and my current self who has decided to move forward with everyone else, so I reworked it and included it in the album."

In a showing of gratitude, the song features several shoutouts to friends/staff who are now part of Team Novel Core.

Although it is the second to last track, Novel Core considers the album complete with **PERIOD.** and THANKS, ALL MY TEARS is not actually the last song but an introduction to his next chapter.

**Japanese Lyrics**
思い出す　あの頃は

スタッフもファンもいない

高円寺の高架下　サイファー仲間と夜を明かす

根拠のないやる気　謎の自信が武器

先に走り出した　その分　暗い道　走ってきた

中板橋の家を飛び出して

北池のドンキまで

来ていた上着　布団にして

公衆トイレで寝る　正気じゃねぇあの夜

思い出したくない夜

消してしまいたい夜

全部を越えて生きる　今日の俺に感謝している

あぁ　そりゃ　まぁ良い事ばっかじゃねぇよ

この人生　それでも　今日も歌う　明日も歌う

Lonely Lonely Lonely night

乗り越えるか Day by day

Lonely Lonely Lonely night

歩いていく Day by day

寂しくない　寂しくない

Lonely Lonely Lonely night

乗り越える Day by day

有名になれば何か変わるって

信じて必死に走ったよな

でも　持ち上げられたら落とされた

褒められた倍　こけにされた

フラカンの深夜高速聴いて

涙が溢れた深夜4時半

諦めちゃう方が楽だった

でも　やめられない理由は…

おい　15の俺　よく聞いとけ

死にたいの分かるけど踏ん張れ

明日からって訳でもねぇけど

どうにかなるから　今　頑張れ

仲間やファンだって増えていくぞ

20歳になる頃　驚くよ

苦しい時にいつも聴いていた

あの先輩の事務所の1人目だって

Lonely Lonely Lonely night

乗り越えるか Day by day

Lonely Lonely Lonely night

歩いていく Day by day

寂しくない　寂しくない

Lonely Lonely Lonely night

乗り越える Day by day

いつだって優しい俊哉さん

人一倍繊細な竹中さん

真っ直ぐで嘘つかない木村さん

お洒落で頼りになる越智さん

なかなか直接会えないけど　会う度にエールくれる河田さん

毎回新曲を楽しみに待っていてくれる久世さん

同い年　分からない事だらけの中

頑張っている松岡ちゃん

どんなに疲れていても絶対そんな素振りを見せない咲子さん

何でも一緒に一喜一憂してくれる浜口さん

あげだしたらキリない

沢山仲間がいる　今の俺には

Lonely Lonely Lonely night

乗り越えるか Day by day

Lonely Lonely Lonely night

歩いていく Day by day

寂しくない　寂しくない

Lonely Lonely Lonely night

進んでいく Day by day
