メリトクラシー (Meritocracy)

Playing pretend with flattery
Is useless
I don't need the usual praise
Or compliments

I can't do any better than this
I can't accept
Frivolously wasting
Unresolvable feelings

Don't let the heartbeat stop
It's not just here
Even if the connected place
Is missing, I'll keep moving
Without understanding the meaning yet
You keep talking about dreams incessantly
Please don't say it lightly
I'll just get bored with all the nonsense

To keep the impulse from fading
I ponder
Let's stop the signal
Of mutual affection

Even if I excel, I can't see anything
Where should I be now?
I can't just settle for it
I'm not that relaxed

Just yearning and burning
For a past that wasn't even fun
Maybe one day
Even the stories I hate
Will make me laugh
Just getting in the way of playing
Chosen ones among those who have
Enjoy it, keep dreaming
Hey, if you keep whispering forever?

Don't let the heartbeat stop
It's not just here
Even if the connected place
Is missing, I'll keep moving
Without understanding the meaning yet
You keep talking about dreams incessantly
Please don't say it lightly
I'll just get bored with all the nonsense
