A Fake, Fake Psychotropic

"**マネマネサイコトロピック**"

## Featuring

Youko Toujou

**A Fake, Fake Psychotropic** is a song released by singer Youko Toujou.

## Background

Youko has stated that this song represents part of her life besides the story that she twisted into it. As such, the following will be split into two; the story and real life presentation. The story will be in normal text, but the real life presentation will be in italic.

The song follows Yu, a very stressed girl who can't handle the stress of life anymore. The song begins with her complaints about how *she has lost her motivation and just can't keep up with her life anymore* and she prays for another of her to help. Suddenly a girl that looks like her appears on her phone screen and answers her prayers. Yu is ecstatic to have a clone of herself. She is at first very happy but eventually as more clones are born they start completely taking over her life and it's impossible to tell who the fake even is anymore. At this point Yu removes the scrunchie which reveals that she herself is just a clone while the 14th her laughs and says there never was an original. The song ends with Yu *lamenting her fate* and apologizing to God for cheating at life.

## Lyrics

### English

My patience, is just wearing out, wow

As the days, start passing me, now

My brain's always swirlin, whirlin,

As the years go by

And absolutely nothin’

I can get done

Even though, people…have helped me out, sometimes

As the hour hand, spins

So do my eyes

Hey, I’ve lost myself

All to praise n’ admiration

I’ve gone, messed it up, big time

“Ah, if there could only be, just one more of me, that’d be, okay to see, now

Shall I erase the quandary at all?

The problem you just couldn’t solve?

Faking, faking, an imitation

Wait a sec, now

Just, what the heck is this? I See

Revolution, new situation

Oh, Happy, happy, happy

With escalation!

Faking, faking, an imitation

A substitution, better solution

Feelin’ sort of, an, impulsion

Oh, Laughing, laughing, laughing

With high elation!

My dear god…. I’m so sorry for cheating you

The ability to do as you please

Taking a vacation, year long of easy, just

Leave it all to me, solved automatically, oh, ah

Today has clear skies, I see

Let’s go together, all problems, we can meet, I’ll

Be your tools, your hands and your feet

The future that is best, accepted premises

Isn’t that kind of cliché?

Nonsense!

Popular kid that everyone likes, the

Shining one that’s bathed in spotlight, hey

Who was the person that was liked the most?

Wait, wasn’t that supposed to be me?

Faking, faking, an imitation

Wait a sec, now

Just who, the heck is this? I See

Brand new person, identification??

Oh Right here, right here, right here

No explanation!

Faking, faking, an imitation

Why are you here? a “belonging” invasion

Try to be me? “life” abduction!

Oh, you look, really, like me….

There’s no distinction

My dear god…. I’m so sorry for cheating you

The price of obtaining another “me,” is the

Future, future, future

Is thrown away, see?

Just realize, who is real now, already

Wait..I‘m right here…. how could this be?

Faking, faking, an imitation

Wait a sec, now

Just what, the heck is this? I see

Broken reason, a revelation

Oh, Scary, scary, scary

No termination!

Faking, faking, an imitation

Second person, fourteenth version, Just laugh

“There’s no “you” right?” A declaration

Oh, Must I?

Repent, repent?

No affirmation

As a fake, I’m always in a struggle,

As a fake, I falter and I fumble

My dear god, I’m so sorry I cheated you...
