No One's Chasing Me

Dream Pop, restless and wistful, build a Jangle Shoegaze track with twelve-string arpeggios, chiming guitars, soft chorus, wide reverb, warm haze, restrained drums, a bass, keep verses dry and intimate before guitars widen into controlled layers, with timing shifts, pitch drift, uneven tails, and imperfect overlaps left as tension, use a lead vocal that opens in the chorus, blending Japanese lyrics with English, make No one's chasing me, Still I chase myself sharply audible before the guitars bloom, keep the harmony bittersweet and unresolved, suggesting endless walking, pressure, thirst, and isolation, strip the bridge to suspended guitar tones, then return with a final chorus that feels like release, ending in fading guitar echoes, nostalgic yet modern, melodic and singable, avoid heavy distortion, aggressive drums, EDM drops, or gloss

[Intro]
Today, I keep walking

[Verse 1]
誰にも急かされてない
時計だけが先走る
朝になればまた立って
Yesterday, I walked faster

「まだやれる」と声がする
振り向いても誰もいない
僕を追ってくるその声は
It sounds like me tonight

[Pre-Chorus]
遠くに見える蜃気楼
近づくほどまた遠くなる
Even when my throat is dry
休む理由を探してる

[Chorus]
No one's chasing me
Still I chase myself
どこまで行けば終われるの
まだ足跡だけ続いてる
No one told me to run
But I keep running on
手にしたものを抱えたまま
Still I need more, still I run

[Verse 2]
眠れば時間が減るようで
休めば遅れる気がした
I got what I wanted
それでもまた探していた

「ここまで来た」と言えばいい
なのに「まだだ」とまた歩く
誰かに褒めてほしいくせに
The hardest voice is mine

[Pre-Chorus]
足跡だけが続いてる
戻る場所も見えなくなる
I don't even know why I walk
何のためか見えなくなった

[Bridge]
もしも立ち止まったら
僕には何が残る？
What am I worth
When I do nothing at all?
誰が僕を追っていた？
「It was me」

[Final Chorus]
No one's chasing me
I was chasing myself
どこまで行っても終わらない
まだ足跡だけ続いてる
No one told me to run
So I don't have to run
閉まってなんかなかったんだ
最初から扉は開いていた
水を飲んで空を見る
I don't have to win today
歩かないことを選んだら
やっと風が聞こえた

[Outro]
No one told me to run
I finally stopped
誰にも追われてない
もう僕を追わなくていい

[Intro]
Today, I keep walking

[Verse 1]
No one is rushing me
But the clock keeps running ahead
When morning comes, I rise again
Yesterday, I walked faster

A voice says, “You can still go on”
I turn around, but no one's there
That voice that's always chasing me
It sounds like me tonight

[Pre-Chorus]
A mirage is waiting in the distance
The closer I get, the farther it fades
Even when my throat is dry
I'm still looking for a reason to rest

[Chorus]
No one's chasing me
Still I chase myself
How far do I have to go to stop?
My footprints keep going on

No one told me to run
But I keep running on
Holding everything I've worked for
Still I need more, still I run

[Verse 2]
Sleep feels like I'm losing time
Rest feels like I'm falling behind
I got what I wanted
But I still kept looking for more

I should be saying, “I've come this far”
But I keep walking, saying, “Not yet”
Even though I want someone to praise me
The hardest voice is mine

[Pre-Chorus]
My footprints keep going on
I can't even see where I came from
I don't even know why I walk
I don't know what I'm walking for

[Bridge]
If I stop and stand still
What will I have left?
What am I worth
When I do nothing at all?
Who was chasing me?
“It was me”

[Final Chorus]
No one's chasing me
I was chasing myself
No matter how far I go, it never ends
My footprints keep going on

No one told me to run
So I don't have to run
It was never locked
The door was open all along

I drink the water and look at the sky
I don't have to win today
When I choose not to walk
I can finally hear the wind

[Outro]
No one told me to run
I finally stopped
No one's chasing me
I don't have to chase myself anymore

誰かに働かされているわけじゃない。休むことを悪とし、暇を無駄と呼ぶ。何もしない自分を許せず、今日も自分を追い立てる。やがて気づく。僕を搾取していたのは、僕自身だったと。 No one is making me work. I treat rest like a sin and free time like something to be wasted. I can’t forgive myself for doing nothing, so I keep driving myself forward, day after day. Until I finally realize—I was the one exploiting myself all along. ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーThe English lyrics are written below the Japanese lyricsーー [Intro] Today, I keep walking [Verse 1] 誰にも急かされてない時計だけが先走る朝になればまた立って Yesterday, I walked faster 「まだやれる」と声がする振り向いても誰もいない僕を追ってくるその声は It sounds like me tonight [Pre-Chorus] 遠くに見える蜃気楼近づくほどまた遠くなる Even when my throat is dry 休む理由を探してる [Chorus] No one's chasing me Still I chase myself どこまで行けば終われるのまだ足跡だけ続いてる No one told me to run But I keep running on 手にしたものを抱えたまま Still I need more, still I run [Verse 2] 眠れば時間が減るようで休めば遅れる気がした I got what I wanted それでもまた探していた「ここまで来た」と言えばいいなのに「まだだ」とまた歩く誰かに褒めてほしいくせに The hardest voice is mine [Pre-Chorus] 足跡だけが続いてる戻る場所も見えなくなる I don't even know why I walk 何のためか見えなくなった [Bridge] もしも立ち止まったら僕には何が残る？ What am I worth When I do nothing at all? 誰が僕を追っていた？「It was me」 [Final Chorus] No one's chasing me I was chasing myself どこまで行っても終わらないまだ足跡だけ続いてる No one told me to run So I don't have to run 閉まってなんかなかったんだ最初から扉は開いていた水を飲んで空を見る I don't have to win today 歩かないことを選んだらやっと風が聞こえた [Outro] No one told me to run I finally stopped 誰にも追われてないもう僕を追わなくていいーーーーーEnglishーーーーー [Intro] Today, I keep walking [Verse 1] No one is rushing me But the clock keeps running ahead When morning comes, I rise again Yesterday, I walked faster A voice says, “You can still go on” I turn around, but no one's there That voice that's always chasing me It sounds like me tonight [Pre-Chorus] A mirage is waiting in the distance The closer I get, the farther it fades Even when my throat is dry I'm still looking for a reason to rest [Chorus] No one's chasing me Still I chase myself How far do I have to go to stop?
