きらめく都会のカーニバル　仮面で踊る群像

駆け引きの夜に溶けて　真実は影を踏む

勝者のエコーを背にして　嘲笑う夢のフリ

選んだ夜のシナリオが　心を刺すリズム

嘘だらけのNight！ (Break down!)

仮面を剥げTonight！ (Right now!)

偽りだけのPride！ (Burn down!)

その先を見せてよ (Show me!)

熱狂の後に残るシナリオは　誰かの夢の抜け殻

拍手喝采消えた教室で　一人演じるピエロ

時間が剥がす化粧の下に　透ける本当の顔

偽り飾った昨日の栄光　誰ももう信じない

消せないままの嘘が疼いて

見透かされたリアルが笑う

砕け散りそうな虚飾の夜に

叫び出したくなる

偽り纏った夜の舞台で (Hey!)

狂った仮面が剥がれ落ちるまで (Break!)

鋭く刺さった視線の雨に (Pain!)

濡れても笑え シニカルナイト

出口の見えない孤独の中で (Cry!)

プライドなんて脱ぎ捨ててしまえ (Now!)

この虚しさを抱えたままで (Go!)

闇を走り抜けろ

(Cut through the night, break the illusion!)

(Run through the dark, find your conclusion!)

(Truth or lie, still confusion!)

(Cynical night, let's go revolution!)

都会(まち)に溢れる虚構の海で

他人(ひと)のシナリオなぞりながら

スポットライトに群がる影は

真実から目を逸らす

繰り返される空虚なパレード

偽り重ねるピエロたち

疑うことすら忘れかけてる

醒めない夜のナイトショー

偽物(フェイク)の笑顔 演じ続けて

気づけば心(ココロ)は麻痺してた

本当の自分を殺してまで

手に入れたかったのは何だろう

このまま嘘で生きるくらいなら

全て壊せ 今ここで (Shout!)

(Oh-oh, fake it, fake it!)

(Yeah-yeah, break it, break it!)

(Oh-oh, take it, take it!)

(Yeah-yeah, make it, make it!)

描いてきた夢は砂の城で

波にさらわれ消えていく

嘘にまみれた昨日(きのう)を越えて

本当の自分に出逢うまで

情熱の火はいつか消えても

自分の足跡(あと)だけ残してく

もう誰かのためじゃなくていい

ここから先は 私の夜だ

あの日閉じ込めた本当の声が (Hey!)

今、胸を叩き目を覚ます (Wake!)

怖れる理由はもうどこにもない (Fly!)

ここで終わるわけにいかない

振り返れば嘘だらけの夜 (Cry!)

そのすべてを今、脱ぎ捨てて (Now!)

自分を取り戻す瞬間(とき)が来た (Go!)

迷わず走れ シニカルナイト

(Break through the night, fake no more!)

(Fight through the dark, seek your core!)

(Truth and lie, choose your door!)

(Cynical night, hear me roar!)

嘘の夜を破り捨てて

私が描くストーリーへ

「シニカルナイトプラン」は、本音を隠しながら毎日を生きる私たちへ向けて曲を描いてみました。華やかな光の中で誰かを演じている夜の孤独や、笑っているふりをして飲み込んだ本音が、やがて静かに問いかける――それで本当にいいのか、と。無理に剥がそうとせずとも、仮面が割れてしまいそうになる夜がある。それはきっと、本来の自分が隠しきれない想いを叫んでいるから。心の奥で諦めかけた願いも、他人に笑われそうな理想も、きっと意味があるはずです。あなたの夜にそっと寄り添う曲になれば幸いです。

City lights glitter, a carnival of lies

Masks dancing wildly, hiding their eyes

Nighttime games vanish, truths unclear

Echoes of victory laugh in my ear

Dreaming sarcastic, pretending the role

Scripts chosen midnight, piercing my soul

Night built on lies! (Break down!)

Tear off your disguise! (Right now!)

Burn that fake pride! (Burn down!)

Show me inside! (Show me!)

After the frenzy, the script is undone

Left with a shadow of dreams never won

A clown alone, applause disappeared

Makeup falls off, true face revealed

Yesterday’s glory, an empty shell

Stories of lies no one buys or tells

Lies still burning deep within

Reality mocks beneath my skin

This fragile night about to break

Can’t hold it in, I need to scream awake

Covered in lies on this midnight stage (Hey!)

Masks crack apart, let me turn the page (Break!)

Razor-sharp gazes slicing like rain (Pain!)

Smiling through pain, cynical night again

Trapped in isolation, lost in pride (Cry!)

Rip it off now, nothing left to hide (Now!)

Holding emptiness, yet running ahead (Go!)

Push through darkness instead

(Cut through the night, break the illusion!)

(Run through the dark, find your conclusion!)

(Truth or lie, still confusion!)

(Cynical night, let's go revolution!)

City floods in a sea of pretend

Following stories somebody penned

Under spotlights, eyes look away

Ignoring truths, repeating the play

Empty parades looping in vain

Painted smiles cover silent pain

We forget questions, stop thinking why

Sleepless, trapped in this cynical lie

Faking smiles till I'm numb inside

Killed myself chasing shallow pride

What was it that I hoped to gain?

Living in lies, trapped in chains

If that’s the choice, better break it now

Destroy it all, I’ll show you how (Shout!)

(Oh-oh, fake it, fake it!)

(Yeah-yeah, break it, break it!)

(Oh-oh, take it, take it!)

(Yeah-yeah, make it, make it!)

Built my dreams from castles of sand

Swept away waves I couldn't withstand

Leaving behind what I used to pretend

Searching myself till I reach the end

Passion fades but footprints stay

I’ll leave my mark, my own way

Not living for others, no longer tied

Tonight and onwards, the night is mine

Locked away voices awaken in me (Hey!)

Pounding my chest, I finally see (Wake!)

No more hiding, no fear inside (Fly!)

Won’t let this moment die

Looking back on the nights of lies (Cry!)

Shedding it all, no compromise (Now!)

Claiming myself, it's now or never (Go!)

Running free through cynical weather

(Break through the night, fake no more!)

(Fight through the dark, seek your core!)

(Truth and lie, choose your door!)

(Cynical night, hear me roar!)

Tearing apart the illusions of night

Writing my story, my own right

Scars beside me, allies in flight

Racing toward dawn, chasing the light

I've written "Cynical Night Plan" for all of us who spend our days hiding our true feelings.

It's about the loneliness of playing a role under dazzling lights, and the quiet voice inside questioning whether this is really enough—the voice we try to silence behind a smiling mask. Sometimes the mask cracks, even without us trying, because the true self can't hold back its feelings forever.

Those dreams you've nearly given up on, those ideals others might laugh at—they all surely matter.

I hope this song gently stays beside you on those nights when you need it most.
