Unread

# UNREAD **[INTRO — near silence / notification]** *Phone notification.* 「既読にならない…」 Unread. Screen lights up. Screen goes dark. I sent it. I sent it. I sent it again. Nothing. --- **[VERSE 1 — dark trap-pop groove]** I know you're probably busy That's what I keep telling myself But every time the screen goes black I put the phone back on the shelf Five minutes, ten minutes Maybe I should wait But every little second Starts feeling like a mistake You used to answer Before I could blink Now I'm staring at the screen Trying not to think Maybe you're sleeping Maybe you're away Maybe there's a reason You haven't said today --- **[PRE-CHORUS — tension building]** 「どうして返事をくれないの？」 I don't wanna worry I don't wanna care But every notification Makes me hope you're there One little message Could make this disappear So why am I still waiting When you're nowhere near? --- **[CHORUS — melodic metalcore × K-pop hook]** **UNREAD!** Still unread! Why am I checking again? **UNREAD!** Still unread! Stuck inside my own head I keep watching that screen Like you're gonna appear I tell myself, “Calm down” But the silence is too loud 「まだ信じたい」 I still want to believe But every minute that you disappear Feels like you're leaving me **UNREAD!** Still unread! --- **[POST-CHORUS — catchy trap hook]** Read it Read it Why won't you read it? *Click.* Unread. Read it Read it I'm losing my patience *Click.* Unread. --- **[VERSE 2 — faster rhythmic rap]** Okay, wait— Maybe I'm thinking too much Maybe you're busy Maybe your phone's out of touch Maybe you're driving Maybe you're sleeping Maybe there's nothing That I should be reading But I keep checking Checking Checking the time Open the message Close it Read every line What did I say? Was it something I did? Why'd you leave me hanging? Why'd you leave it unread? --- **[FAST RAP — anxiety escalation]** One minute, two minutes, three, four, five Why am I counting every second of my life? Refresh, reload, screen light, no reply Tell myself “stop” but I don't know why Maybe you're busy—okay, okay Maybe tomorrow—just wait, just wait Maybe I'm stupid for feeling this way Maybe there's nothing I should be afraid But— What if you saw it? What if you read it? What if you opened it Then decided to leave it? What if you're typing? What if you're not? What if the three little dots Were never gonna show up? I check again I check again I check again I check again **WHY DO I KEEP DOING THIS?!** --- **[BREAK — complete silence]** *Notification.* ... Not you. --- **[PRE-CHORUS 2 — emotional / rising]** 「ねぇ、どこにいるの？」 I don't need a perfect answer I don't need you to explain I just want to hear your voice So I can stop thinking this way But the longer that you leave me here The louder everything becomes --- **[CHORUS — bigger metalcore]** **UNREAD!** Still unread! Why am I checking again? **UNREAD!** Still unread! Stuck inside my own head I keep watching that screen Like you're gonna appear I tell myself, “Calm down” But the silence is too loud 「まだ信じたい！」 I still want to believe But every minute that you disappear Feels like you're leaving me **UNREAD!** Still unread! --- **[RAP BREAK — trap-house × metalcore]** Yeah— Phone down. Pick it up. Phone down. Pick it up. Tell myself “Enough.” Then the screen lights up— No. Not you. Back to the message. Back to the question. Back to the same conversation. I don't wanna chase I don't wanna beg I don't wanna turn Every silence into something else But my head won't stop And my heart won't rest I'm trying to breathe While I'm staring at— **UNREAD.** --- **[BRIDGE — stripped / vulnerable]** Piano. Maybe tomorrow You'll finally explain Maybe I'll look back And laugh at this pain Maybe the silence Doesn't mean goodbye Maybe I'm just scared Of what I might find 「まだ信じたい…」 So I'll put down the phone Just for tonight. --- **[FINAL BUILD — escalating vocals]** Don't check it. Don't check it. Don't— **CHECK IT!** *Notification.* ... I can't. --- **[FINAL CHORUS — maximum intensity]** **UNREAD!** Still unread! I'm done asking when! **UNREAD!** Still unread! But I still check again! I don't know what you're thinking I don't know where you are I don't know if this silence Means anything at all 「何が本当なの？」 I just wanted to know Why does waiting for one message Feel like watching something go? **UNREAD!** Still— **UNREAD!** --- **[FINAL RAP / SCREAM OUTRO]** One more time! One more look! One more message That I shouldn't have sent! No reply! No answer! No explanation! I keep waiting— **WAITING—** **WAITING—** **UNREAD!** *Notification.* ... *Screen goes black.* 「既読にならない。」 **Silence.**
