“Peter Pan Syndrome” (ピーターパンシンドローム)
Lyrics and composition: 40mP

Representative character: Kagi-P

When I was a child, I had nothing to fear
I believed myself to be special

I’ll do as I wish and use my own hands
to show you I can change the world

Reach out your hands and hold on
to me, the one and only

Speak up and shower your praise
on me, for being special

Don’t be afraid, come over and stay
with me, who’s actually nobody, and love me

Unable to accept that I’m the same as others
I acted as if I saw nothing and deliberately shut my eyes

Instead of becoming an adult, I want to remain a child
and continue dreaming until the day I die

Open your eyes and let them reflect
me, who amounts to nothing

Collect me up and embrace
me, who’s still like a child

Come forward yourself and accept
me, who will someday disappear, and love me

Wanting someone to acknowledge me
I fabricated a false version of myself
And yet, in this world, I’m alone
like some kind of child…

Reach out your hands and hold on…
Speak up and shower your praise…
Don’t be afraid, come over and stay…
