Identity

Lyrics: ayumi hamasaki
Music & Arrangement: Yuuta Nakano

You over there, sharing time and space
With a stranger to bury loneliness
And having bland conversations
That make you even lonelier

No matter how skillfully you decorate it
It's no match for the truth
You know this, right?

I persistently and directly clash with things
That's my ID ID (oh) ID ID (oh oh oh)

It's not important how I'm seen by others
What's important is how I should be

You over there, saying "I was thinking of you"
And just pressing your own views on others
Looking as if you somehow did something good
But you just want to be self-satisfied

No matter how skillfully you decorate it
Your real intentions are transparent
You've realized this, right?

I can't agree to everything skillfully
That's my ID ID (oh) ID ID (oh oh oh)

It's not important how I want to be thought of
What I want to protect is how I want to be

I persistently and directly clash with things
That's my ID ID (oh) ID ID (oh oh oh)

It's not important how I'm seen by others
What's important is how I should be

I can't agree to everything skillfully
That's my ID ID (oh) ID ID (oh oh oh)

It's not important how I want to be thought of
What I want to protect is how I want to be
