tbh I'm not too confident or comfortable in this genre so I hope you enjoy the little bits and pieces here and there I made my own. thank you to Miyashita Yuu for his amazing cover and harmony inspo as usual! haha

✻ Lyrics ✻ (please credit anthong!)
I do the things I do so I won’t be trusting, and so I won’t be loving, I’ll never hope for anything
Even then, I’ll go along acting very carefully
Ego never growing, I don’t want them to know me
I do the things I do so I won’t be hurting, and so I’m not a bully, I won’t give in to murdering
Even then, I’ll go along faking almost everything
So I don’t act arrogantly
I’ll say a joke or two and talk in such a way that’ll make you wanna’ stay
And even then I’ll laugh to bring you back and charm you anyway
Bitter choco decoration
Be sure to eat it ‘till it’s gone and don’t you say a word
Bitter choco decoration
A picky eater through and through, you still have much to learn
Empty out your mind and then you’ll realize
If your heart is real when you cast it aside
Surely you’re the same and even that is fine
“By the way I wanna’ know, if a couple days ago, did we at that time-- you know what? Hey never mind.”
I do the things I do so I won’t expose me and so you’ll never know me, you won’t be getting close to me
Even then, I’ll go along always speaking freely
I make them laugh so easy, instead of making fun of me
I do the things I do coming off politely
I praise them very highly, admire all their qualities
Even then, I’ll go along never speaking bitterly
So I don’t act ignorantly
Prison bound, we participate
Here I go, yet again, saying “What--? No way!”
“I’m in awe ‘cause your bangs, yeah they’re all the craze!”
Even though, what I see, yeah, it’s all the same
Morning or night, I’ll snap, you see?
Misstep while they’re watching face a group lynching
But it’s do or die! Survive insanity!!!!!!!!!
Bitter choco decoration
You know that every now and then a “love” will bring you “pain”
Bitter choco decoration
They’re gonna’ leave you far behind, their art forever stained
Way back at the start, with dreams, I could impress
Now it’s tossed aside, no one cares, no one obsessed
Sometimes we say no but we’re always meaning yes
“Hey, I gotta’ say that today we were amazed.
Got a knack for things like that, that could blow us all away.”
Love in season, give a reason
Bitter choco decoration
Love in feeling, give a meaning
Bitter choco decoration
F.U.C.K.Y.O.U
Bitter choco decoration
I wanna’ be all that you need, I want to make it last
Bitter choco decoration
I’m gonna’ burn it all away, my feelings into ash
Bitter choco decoration
I’ll kill my ego and my heart, and put them in the ground
Bitter choco decoration
I guess I grew up in the end, hey Mom, look at me now
Surely here on out, from now until the end
Hell will always follow me, even when I’m dead
Ah, that’s why I’m begging here, now and again
Please, I wanna’ feel like I did back as a kid, not a single piece of clothing to cover what I did
"Hey you look familiar, though it’s been a couple years!
Weren’t you that preoccupied……… sorry, nevermind."
Comments
08/15/2022 @sneakerdoodle0612: I have a feeling that this song is about hiding your true self and being a people pleaser to society, but later on reveal your colors and not caring about everyone because you're done with society's B.S.
08/15/2023 @soapshiraishi: then at the end youre just angry at everything that gets on your nerves
08/15/2023 @zUltra3D: Makes sense
08/15/2023 @artlife7078: it's really suffocating always feeling like you have to be aware and cater to other people's feelings so, I really agree 👍
08/15/2023 @STR-JoyKill_ALT: ...it's... about... abuse... mainly sexual if u look at the lyrics...
08/15/2023 @caramel7168: Yeah. N25 is mostly surrounded around Mafuyu. Mafuyu being a people pleaser for so long to the point that she doesn’t know what she likes anymore and now she’s just an empty shell. No feelings, her dreams have been pushed away to keep up with the perfect image for others. N25 is a group trying to help Mafuyu to find her feelings
08/15/2023 @2sleepy2day: Me
08/15/2023 @Erilithia: Hell Yeah!!!
08/15/2023 @gooey1490: @caramel7168 the song wasnt made by n25?
08/15/2023 @skyefie: @caramel7168 its not n25's song..
08/15/2023 @skyefie: @vee7014 was this confirmed by syudou...
08/15/2023 @Floofy_: @skyefie I feel like they meant that n25 “makes” the songs but in reality it’s other songs made by real people (sorry for the weird explanation, or my attempt lol)
Edit: it’s also confirmed in their dialogue that they “make” the songs like kanade asking about progress on the drawings made by ena for a music video and etc 🥲
08/15/2023 @mizu..saba1: @STR-JoyKill_ALT im pretty sure syudou has said any of their songs can be interpreted in many ways, i think at least
08/15/2023 @vulpix_fox: @caramel7168 you…do realize the fact that Bitter Choco Decoration is not song made by N25…right?
08/15/2023 @caramel7168: @vulpix_fox …. Oh.. uhh
08/15/2023 @thetaylorverse: U just described me ily for that
08/15/2023 @thetaylorverse: @vulpix_fox lyrics are changed by n25 so technically yea
08/15/2023 @hatsunemiku1018: lol that's me
08/15/2023 @vulpix_fox: @thetaylorverse I mean…not really. Just because “N25” changed the lyrics doesn’t mean the original song was not produced by Syudou.
08/15/2023 @breadissoyummy: Actually yes, this is correct. If you look at N25, from project sekai, they have covered this song. N25 mainly revolves around Mafuyu (as a earlier reply has said), and she is almost a perfect description to this song. A girl who has thrown her feelings away, etc. So, after analysing the lyrics myself, I can say that this is most likely closest to correct. You can tell that this person is a people pleaser — trying to fit in with a crowd, “saying a joke or two to make you wanna stay”, and a few other lyrics. At the end, the lyrics get more haphazard and out of order. Showing the person is absolutely loosing it.
08/15/2023 @IchigoMichiko: Thats srsly just Mafuyu-
08/15/2023 @imsorry1102: yeah, ain't no one telling me that this song isn't about autism masking
08/15/2023 @Ar1s-V3nd3tta: @STR-JoyKill_ALT music means smthn different to everyone
08/15/2023 @bricousins: It's actually about their mom showing off her child treating them like a trophy or in this case a bitter chocolate decoration
08/15/2023 @brightboi4291: Y E S
08/15/2023 @charlie.hugs_: i think it's something to do with autism masking as i've heard from a few people.
08/15/2023 @annapotat0987: the good ending
08/15/2023 @schoolisstressful3212: Oopsies it’s another song I can relate to 💀💀
08/15/2023 @boomie9728: Nah its about s/a lmao
08/15/2023 @bandycoree: @STR-JoyKill_ALT ive read the lyrics, memorized them, and can sing them, i dont get where u interpreted this can u explain im actually curious
08/15/2023 @_axtrim_aftn_2564: @bricousins makes sense ngl
08/15/2023 @thwACKwhat: @brightboi4291 FORKS
08/15/2023 @newmoon.damselette: I thought it was about autism and eating disorders-
08/15/2023 @suzettezamora3195: @STR-JoyKill_ALT you are probably referring to the last part that is saying "not a single piece of clothing to cover what i did" but its not sexual and its not about abuse. its about trying to be a perfectionist/people pleaser
08/15/2023 @marshmallowfl00f.0.2: I just wanna tell someone i am exactly like this
08/15/2023 @jaxxtodd9428: Bro just described my life in a theory of a a song
08/15/2023 @computermasochist: 😂
08/15/2023 @UnluckyWh0re: Me
08/15/2024 @allyimpostgaming8507: Basically me
08/15/2024 @reclaimer0018: i thought the song was about autism
08/15/2024 @nyutellabread: I love this song, but when I saw this comment, I loved it even more.
08/15/2024 @mistyisacat8012: @Floofy_ actually only commisioned songs are made in-universe by the characters feelings, covers aren't
08/15/2024 @lain1181: Spot on
08/15/2024 @Lively_Naviagtor: Same honestly, and relatable
08/15/2024 @jericocorporal2361: Same! But I also read a comment on the original music video itself that the dude is also (TW ⚠️) s*xually ab*sed. Not that it truly is the meaning of the song, but when you notice the lyrics saying-
08/15/2024 @jericocorporal2361: "Yes often means No.
You know, I must say, considering today is your first time, and you can already do this, you have a knack on this."
Damn gave me chills when I realized this part.
Refer to the orig vid and this part: 1:59 - 2:08
08/15/2024 @cha.6363: Well this is kinda similar to me
08/15/2024 @alicaafton9264: @koixena yeah..
08/15/2024 @jbuhagiar213: I agree
08/15/2024 @vvmahou: @caramel7168 LMAAOOOO THIS SONG ISNT EVEN ABOUT MAFUYU OR NIGHTCORD
08/15/2024 @vvmahou: @caramel7168 w horimiya pfp
08/15/2024 @Xx_Leafst3r_xX: My whole life as been described within a few sentences
08/15/2024 @ROZV-Ai: Oh then this song is made about my life 👍
08/15/2024 @kazoo-XD: @soapshiraishi ik it’s been a year but i relate to this so much 😭 (the cover is amazing tho!)
08/15/2024 @DanielaSalamanca-te6cw: Reminds me of Honami...
08/15/2024 @imjustsilleh: bc it
08/15/2024 @badaboop2035: this implies the character doesnt want to act this way but she does. she wants to get rid of all her emotions so she never gets hurt and she doesnt want to be vulnerable or trusting because that scares her
08/15/2024 @niddhyade4mmanikandan734: Mitsuris back story
08/15/2024 @Headless_Basil._: True
08/15/2024 @Rainkea-fr: yeah thats my theory aswell
08/15/2024 @Muffin_GhxstYT: Why is that comment describe me 😅
08/15/2024 @elleramirez1373: OMG YES!!! I’ve been to so many social skills classes and the first thing that they told me is if you keep acting the way you do no one’s gonna like you. Now my creativity is stunted because I’m constantly masking and I don’t know how to take it off anymore and I can’t say anything because I’m constantly thinking about what people are going to think of me and I hate that so much. I just wanna feel like I did when I was a kid again but whenever I try to no one else wants to join in and I feel like people think there’s something wrong with me. I want to stop caring so much about what people think about me and just be me again
08/15/2024 @KamDoeArt: @STR-JoyKill_ALT I feel like it's about both, the character was a people pleaser and was pushed to do that and the lyrics 'Sometimes we say no, but we're always meaning yes' confirms that for me, but that's how I feel about it
08/15/2024 @0909agnes: Me actually
08/15/2024 @meptune0335: でも、最後はラブホテルじゃない?
08/15/2024 @Scarlet-lp5xz: @sneakerdoodle0612 I agree with you
08/15/2024 @rubyyyx417: So me core
09/15/2024 @Ch3rr7Bl0ss0mXoffical: I guess it relate lol
09/15/2024 @Alyona-The-Clown: FR
11/15/2024 @godricktheminecrafted3113: Yeah this song is about autistic masking, it’s painfully obvious to anyone who either does it or understands it
12/15/2024 @yiuriing: @vulpix_fox but they choose songs that fit them cs they're not going to let a silly lil puppy lover girl sing about drug abuse and murder ykwim??
01/15/2025 @shaasha2688: literally goro akechi from persona 5 royal-
01/15/2025 @h0l0hype: It kinda reminds me of myself back when I was 9
02/15/2025 @tripleschaeyeon: @jericocorporal2361 it could be a slight nuance to a people pleaser's inability to decline anything people ask them to do. the second line is also a line people commonly drop to "encourage" people pleasers. similar to my country's culture of saying "kaya mo ’yan, magaling ka naman d’yan!" or "you can do this because you're great at it!".
02/15/2025 @Dr_Lereda2215: Ngl, I started feeling the same when I read the lyrics and found them relatable
03/15/2025 @DokiDokiliterarureclub: YOU ACTUALLY MANAGED TO DESRCIBED ME HELPP
03/15/2025 @Proudxiaoaethershipper: If it is then this song is literally me
04/15/2025 @catanony: Very sigma 😈😈😈
04/15/2025 @galixypawerpack: literally me tbh
04/15/2025 @gurlypop-is-gone: @STR-JoyKill_ALT how? this song seems a lot more like what commenter described
05/15/2025 @krystianurban5421: I think that this song is about the frustration of somebody that heals from social anxiety; the person singing tries veeery hard to conform to societal standards, desperately trying not to make anybody reject them for being different, but slowly gets angrier and angrier by the rules they themselves have put up to fit in
07/15/2025 @kitmountaincat6102: actually it worse then hiding your true self it is killing your true self to fit an image of who you think you should be!
08/15/2021 @fedechan6325: The thing at the end "weren't you the-?" phychotic stare "oh shit um nevermind"
That got a chuckle out of me-
