Idol - Lyrics
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IzJ_ioBHrPUCouldn't beat her smile, it stirred up in mediaSecret side, I wanna know it,
so mysterious.
Even that elusive side,
part of her controlled area.
Complete and perfect,
all you say is a bunch of lies.
Dear miss genius idol,
unmatched!
(You're my saviour, my grace savior.)
What did you eat today?
What book do you love?
Whenever you go out for fun,
tell me, where do you go?
Haven't eaten anything,
it's a secret unknown.
Any questions you're facing always acting so vaguely.
So unconcerned,
although you brightly glow.
Any seemingly unveiled secrets are
as sweet as honey.
Confusing, why, why, why?
Essential lie, lie, lie.
So, what is your type of guy?
Any partner?
So, now, answer this
"I don't have any idea
how I could love anyone"
"I don't seem to know what it signifies."
Cannot find out if it's true or it's a lie.
Once again,
there's somebody
who's fallen for the words and cues
made him lose his head over you!
That emotion melts all hearts,
all eyes on you,
cause you are perfect,
the most ultimate idol!
Unrivaled,
will not appear again.
It's the brightest star reborn,
yes, indeed!
Ah, using that smiling face
that "I love you" again,
now, everybody is lured
and captivated by you.
The pupil that you got,
the words you vocalize
even when untrue,
it's your perfected Ai.
Right, right,
we all know she's very special, yes!
We had lost the fight before
it started so impressed.
Miss I'm such a star
we're serving as support to her grace.
Cannot tell me everything was because of her,
no, it's not right.
Out of line,
how can we not feel
jealous while being around?
It's not a joke,
you know, right?
So, I cannot forgive you for that.
Completely deny,
imperfect you that I sight.
Myself, no pardon allowed.
I won't allow anyone if it's not you, strongest of all!
That emotion seized all
hearts worshiping you.
Yes, indeed,
so strong,
it's you, unrivaled idol!
There cannot be weaknesses to find.
The brightest star is residing in you!
The gaps and shortcomings,
don't show 'em,
Dammit, dammit!
Parts nobody wants to know should remain hidden.
One and only, if it's different,
no way, no way!
Such a true love,
it's the realest Ai!
Showing this smile,
my own weapon
boiling media.
Keeping everything about
my secret deep inside.
"I'm in love with you,"
my career is built on such a lie.
It's the way
I know to show my love, without a doubt.
Running down, my sweat is flowing cleanest aqua, right?
Ruby hidden under my eyelids where it resides.
I sing and dance around,
look at me, I'm Maria.
So, lying surely is the greatest kind of love.
I recall no one that
loved me whole before
and I've not been in love with anybody before.
Now, the lies I'm making up
I'm hoping that a day comes
when they all become true
and I keep wishing they do
One day, I will hold everything that I pursue.
Yes, I am so greedy,
true voracious idol!
So, sincerely, what
I'm wishing for is
to love each of you with all my heart.
And so, today, I lie again.
The words I vocalize
inside of me I'm wishing that one day they come true.
Up to this day, I've not been able to let you
and you hear me saying those meaningful words.
Ah, I said it at last.
I know it's not a lie as I'm voicing these words, I love you!
(You're my savior, my true savior, my saving grace.)
