Understand… my true self
Understand… my false self
Understand… the truth in me
Understand… the lies in me
Please understand…
Want you to understand
Since I was small, I’ve been hiding away
Playing the “good child” everyone wanted to see
Reading the room, smiling politely
Even when it hurt, I kept smiling through
When someone came to me for advice, I listened
Even if I disagreed, I stayed silent
One day, my love suddenly ended
I cried for show, even though I wasn’t sad
So there’d be no waves, no trouble
So I wouldn’t stand out
Always trying to seem “normal”
I worked so hard for that
But that’s only my shadow
I want you to know the real me
Understand… my true self
Understand… my false self
Understand… the truth in me
Understand… the lies in me
Please understand…
Want you to understand
When given surprises or presents
Even if I felt nothing, I acted delighted
When I failed or was scolded
Even without remorse, I apologized
So there’d be no waves, no trouble
So I wouldn’t stand out
Always trying to seem “normal”
I worked so hard for that
But that’s only my shadow
I want you to know the real me
Understand… my true self
Understand… my false self
Understand… the truth in me
Understand… the lies in me
Please understand…
Want you to understand
At some point, I lost the way
To show who I really am
Crying, laughing
Sadness, joy
Anger, delight
Boredom, fun
Hatred, love
Which of these are real?
Please tell me the answer
Is it okay… to be this me?
Is it really alright?
Will I be able to smile from my heart again?
Can I ever show my real self?
Wah-kah-tte

Understand… the truth in me
Understand… the lies in me
Please understand…

Want you to Understand
Chao
Are you living true to who you really are?
It would be wonderful if we could all do that.
I believe everyone carries a false self within them.
But don't let that falsehood consume you-never forget who you truly are.
Artist Profile
Chao
I used to play bass in a band, and for a while I was also the vocalist. We mainly performed original rock and punk songs. After the band broke up, I stopped making music for a long time. At the beginning of 2025, I encountered AI music generation while creating a theme song for an event, and that led me to start writing lyrics again. "I still prefer songs and music created by people over those generated by AI. I don't think that will ever change. However, starting a music career requires instruments, equipment, and technical knowledge, which always felt like a huge hurdle for me. With the arrival of generative AI, many of those barriers have been lowered. Of course, new challenges have come with it as well... but even so, I'm excited about the possibilities that this technology offers. That said, if I leave everything to AI, I don't feel any personal attachment to the songs, so I write all the lyrics myself." "As for songwriting, when I'm writing lyrics, I already see the song's imagery and hear the music in my head. That's why, once I finish writing the lyrics, I first create the jacket artwork based on that vision. After that, I use AI to generate the music that had been floating in my mind during the writing process, recreating it over and over again until it matches my image as closely as possible. Then, I fine-tune the details of the arrangement until I'm satisfied, and only then do I release the song." "Since the vocals are not human, sometimes the words come out in a strange or awkward way, and I find myself going, 'Huh? What did it just say?' But honestly, I think that's part of AI's current charm. I'm sure one day it will become flawless... but in a way, I think that might feel a little lonely."
