My Nonfiction

The song 'My Nonfiction' by Kaguya-sama: Love Is War delves into the theme of self-discovery and the struggle to embrace one's true self. The lyrics reflect a journey of personal growth, where the protagonist grapples with the fear of showing their true self and the desire to be loved for who they are. The repeated phrase 'change your life' signifies a call to action, urging the listener to break free from societal expectations and internal constraints.

The lyrics incorporate a mix of English and Japanese, adding a unique cultural layer to the song. Phrases like 'エンジなきゃ愛されない' (If you don't show your true self, you won't be loved) and 'ありのまま見せんの怖い' (It's scary to show your true self) highlight the internal conflict of wanting to be genuine but fearing rejection. The protagonist acknowledges their weaknesses and the facade they have been maintaining, symbolized by 'Life a fashionじゃね' (Life isn't a fashion show) and 'やめなハートにコスプレ' (Stop cosplaying your heart).

The song also emphasizes the importance of perseverance and self-improvement. The protagonist, identified as '宮木白銀' (Miyuki Shirogane), aspires to reach higher levels of self-fulfillment and authenticity. The lyrics '俺の演技は憧れのstep' (My performance is a step towards my ideal) and '本物なるためのstep' (A step to become genuine) reflect a commitment to personal growth. The repeated declaration 'It's my nonfiction' serves as a powerful affirmation of living an authentic life, free from pretense and full of genuine self-expression.
