"semi-retired idol takes up the mic again to sing idol"

as soon as i listened to the song i knew i had to cover it!! unfortunately i was on vacation at the time. if i was any younger i think i would have thrown a fit, but as a boomer... well, iykyk. vacation time is precious, especially when you work more than one job!! so i decided to enjoy my time in the mediterranean and figure it all out when i came back to reality...

on a different tangent, just as i finished editing the video, yoasobi just released their english version of idol... the fact that you guys still clicked on this video despite that makes me really happy hehe. i had a lot of fun recording this and i hope you guys have just as much fun listening to it c

thank you to everyone who cheered me on during the recording stream a while back! and thank you to kiame, haidl, juby, and yunny for helping make this possible!! love you guys, see you on stream soon o/


Lyrics (credit juby)

You can see her trolling, scrolling through the media
Keep it hidden, she's a master of mysterious
Who is she? It couldnt be! Now you see, that's her area
Your perfect (total liar) isn't giving up!
Extra expert idol-sama


What did you eat today?
What author is your fav?
Where do you go on weekends when you wanna get away?
I didn't eat a thing
But that's how it should be
No matter what they ask me
I won't tell them anything


She plays - it - cool
But playing them - for - fools
A secret barely seen, the honey sweet, but only just a peak
Is this true? No, no, no
Is that true? No, no, no
Would you say that he's your type?
Well who's the guy?
Tell me everything!


"I don't know - if I can love someone at all"
I don't know how it feels, if I even wanna fall
What's a lie? What is true love? You never know
But I'll say - those - words - a - gain
So I can turn another head
And make them love me til the end


"Look at me" she seems to pull their eyes away
Oh behold your one and only perfect idol
Far too bright to ever shine again
She's an evening star about to ascend
Ah, her smile from above, her pretty words of love
Enchanting them in fantasies til they all fall for you
The twinkle in her eyes, the abounding lies that make
The picture perfect love finally come true


Right, right, shes so special, she can never miss
Yall can try but, she's just better than all of the rest
Holding up the star, yeah we're just backup, couldn't B less
She's the reason, now I'm seethin', wanna be it (the best)
My, how they defy
How could she NOT be jealous and sly?
Purer than I?
Feeling the hatred inside, She can't be perfect - a lie!
No - weakness to find
Hating you more every time
But hate - me more every time
Nobody other than you
Would I allow - to rival my climb

They believe in her and worship every day
What a strong and perfect, undefeated idol
Does she have a flaw? No not at all
She's an evening star, you can't make her fall
So don't break down, don't show them even for a second
You don't wanna break the idol girl immersion
Be their one and only, be the one to get it
That's the only - true way to be loved

You can see her smiling, winding around the media
Keeping hidden something secret, yeah the only one
Saying "I love you" made a living off it, play it up
Did you know that it's her super special kind of love?
Running down my face, the sweat is colored aqua
Ruby eyes that hide behind, a curtain keeping shut
I'm singi--ng and dancing for the people, call me Maria
Yeah, lying is the only way to really love

After all, I don't know how it really feels
To be loved by someone or to love somebody real
But I still believe and maybe if I pray,
All the lies that I say - will come true someday
(Til then I can wait)

I'll take it all, they'll see that everything is mine!
Yeah you know, it's me, you're super greedy idol
Let - me- reach the whole entire world
Let them know theyre loved by this single girl
Again, I'll lie just as I said
But hoping in the end,
These- words- will alter into something true that I meant
Yet I never did convey
What I couldn't ever say, to you, and only you - let me today

Ah, finally I can try
To tell you how I do - truly love you
And its not a lie
