Every smile, every proclamation and every extravagant performance helped preserve the identity Fontaine needed her to maintain. But when the final curtain finally fell, freedom brought a question she had never been allowed to answer: Who is Furina when nobody needs her to play a god? #GenshinImpact #Furina #原神 #FurinadeFontaine #Furinasong #Genshin #GenshinImpactsong #GenshinFurina #Focalors #芙宁娜 #芙寧娜 #フリーナ #anime #videogame #animemusic #videogamemusic ---- Lyrics: Every morning had a curtain Every answer had a cue If they wanted something godlike I would give them something new If they laughed, I laughed much louder If they cheered, I took my bow I was saving them by acting I just couldn't tell them how I learned which smile would reassure them I learned when a god should cry I could make a room believe me Never tell them why I lied One mistake could break the story One small crack could cost us all So I made each gesture larger And I never missed a call How many more before you wonder Who they're really clapping for? How many years can one performance Keep you standing at the door? After the applause When the final lights go low No one needs me on the stage No one tells me where to go After the applause When the empty hall turns gray For the first time in five hundred years I get to choose the play Every night behind the curtain I could finally lose the smile Then the morning came to claim me So I'd wear it for a while I had watched the years move past me Watched new faces fill each seat Still the same voice made its entrance Still the same hands met beneath I thought freedom waited somewhere Past the day we'd all survive I just never stopped to wonder What I'd do with my own life Then the courtroom filled with questions Every answer closed a door They asked me for the truth at last I played the god once more Let them call me fraud or coward Let them strip away the crown If one secret kept them breathing I would take the whole thing down Then the verdict split the silence And I thought I'd failed them all All those years spent holding steady Just to watch the curtain fall Then it ended No procession No great speech for me to make No one waiting for an answer No more smile I had to fake I had wanted this forever So why couldn't I rejoice? When you've only played one person Silence has a frightening voice Then one day I heard the music Not a summons from a throne Just some actors with a story Trying not to stand alone No prophecy behind the curtain No whole nation in the play When I stepped into the spotlight I could leave again someday Maybe I still love the theater Maybe that was always true Maybe loving the performance Wasn't what they made me do After the applause When the final lights go low I don't need to be a goddess Just to love the afterglow After the applause If another curtain calls I can step into the light again And still be mine when it falls After the applause There is nothing left to prove I can laugh because I mean it now And cry because I choose No cue to wait for No god to play No nation asking me to stay If I take another bow When the lights come up someday It will be mine to give away ---- This song was generated by AI using ideas and lyrics from Lilly.Hanako. ----
