## Lyrics

It doesn't change a thing, no matter how I slave away, it's all the same
I'm such a mediocre shame Think
I'm about to break

Come measure out my worth in numbers,
Like I'm just another grade Look at my face and see this life
I've come to hate
Throw me away, replace my everything

I know, I know that I'm full of "abnormality",
So I'll go and sew a new identity
Repeat, repeat, as I'm double-checking every piece of me, to see what needs to be changed

Come look at my face, come and give me your praise
Erase my old name and throw it all away
Metamorphosis takes just a couple of days
I'll take off everything and be your one-and-only
Look at me on the stage, and see how I sway
How I step to the beat, tapping 1, 2, 3
And no, I'm not on a string, I'm dancin' so free!
I'm, I'm, I'm breaking!

"Normality"'s not enough to satisfy my needs,
So I sold my soul for "abnormality"
I know, I know, that you think there's something wrong with me,
But I've never felt so freely

This butterfly left her petty feelings far behind,
And "Normal" had died a long, long time ago "Abnormal" life from a chrysalis of broken-minded love,
I'll never ever get enough, so

Come look at my face, come and give me your praise
Erase my old name and throw it all away
Metamorphosis takes just a couple of days
I'll take off everything and be your one-and-only
Look at me on the stage, and see how I sway
How I step to the beat, tapping 1, 2, 3
And no, I'm not on a string, I'm dancin' so free!
I'm, I'm, I'm breaking!

Deep into the night, I looked in those eyes
The mirror can't lie and so I asked it twice,
"Who are you?", I whined,
"Who am I?" I cried
But any shred of truth was thrown away with my mind
I'm breaking, I'm breaking, I'm breaking...
And dancin',
I sing It's time to show my beautiful wings

Come look at my face, come and give me your praise
Erase my old name and throw it all away
Metamorphosis takes just a couple of days
I'll take off everything and be your one-and-only
Look at me on the stage, and see how I sway
How I step to the beat, tapping 1, 2, 3 And no,
I'm not on a string, I'm dancin' so free! I'm, I'm, I'm breaking!

I know, I know that I'm full of "abnormality",
So I'll go and sew a new identity
"Abnormal" life from a chrysalis of broken-minded love I can't get enough of

I know, I know that I'm full of "abnormality",
So I'll go and sew a new identity
Repeat, repeat, as I'm double-checking every piece of me, to see what needs to be changed

## Video Sequence

The music video starts with a butterfly display, going through the collection downwards. It stops midway to reveal book full of students: Nori being one of them. The other students faces aren’t shown except for hers. The first entry of Nori’s Diary appears, quickly cutting to Nori sitting at her desk. The song name is shown as well as credits and we get a closer look at Nori, who appears to be tired. The screen cuts to Nori sitting at her desk in class while two faceless students talk in front of her. The camera zooms in on her as Nori sings the song. A teacher is then shown giving Nori her mission results, which is an awful result. She looks at the paper before clenching it, disappointed in herself. Another student is shown getting their results, but a better grade, which annoys her.

As the chorus plays, Nori is shown in an empty room with four chairs that circle her as the lyrics appear. Three of the tables are marked "x" meanwhile one more isn't .She looks at the viewer with a wide, psyched smile as well. For a moment the color palette changes from dull to neon, but quickly switches back. Nori squints her eyes as the camera zooms onto her face.

After the chorus ends, Nori is shown huddled up at her desk again, this time alone. Her diary submissions then quickly flash on the screen. Presumably the next day comes, and Nori, at a forest, looking nervous. It’s revealed she’s at were circled by cursed spirits. Then it was shown she killed all of them. Nori looks shocked.

The chorus plays, and Nori is back, this time bloods circle her. She holds her knife and her hands together, pointing the knife at her neck, staring desperately at the camera. Her color palette changed to neon again, then quickly flashes back. Nori smiles more vigorously, pleading to the viewer.

The chorus ends again, now showing the case from the beginning but with hawks's feathers with Nori’s diary submissions returning. Instead of another feathers, a blank paper is shown. Noei then pulls out a pen with a dark look on her face.

Next, two different versions of Nori are shown with the side of a mirror in the middle of them. The right “Nori” is smiling, while the left Nori is frowning. Left Nori asks “Who are you?”, while right “Nori” responds with “Who am I?”; the camera focusing on both of them respectively. Right “Nori” disappears, leaving the real Nori alone, looking into the empty mirror. Nori stares in the mirror, her face getting more and more abnormal as she cries, telling herself to “Go crazy”. She eventually smiles, accepting herself for who she is.

The chorus returns, revealing Nori in a brand new outfit in a full black background. Instead of changing colors, the background turns purple the back again. Nori then dances on stage while holding a knife, her legs slowly moving as she gets closer. She’s shown at a side view, raising her hands closer to her head. She continues to dance on the empty stage, but then Nori is back in her school uniform, looking devastated. She realizes everything that just happened was all in her head, leaving her on her knees. She then looks directly at the camera, tears all over her face as she grabs her hair; the song ends.
