I hear something from far away
It's coming to me now
Can't you hear it?
What could that sound be?
It's getting louder little by little
I wonder if it's someone's voice
Look over there, something's in the distance
I can see it now
Can't you see it?
What could that shadow be?
It's getting closer little by little
I wonder if it's someone's form
It's always like this—just a little more
And I could find out who it is, what it is
But right at that moment
New dreams are
Coming up
I'm having a long dream
A really long dream
In this foggy world
I'm walking, feeling my way
I still can't see it clearly
But I'm heading for that light
A long dream
That never ends
A dream I can't wake up from
Hey, I've come a long way
I think I made it
I wonder if you were able to follow me
Where are we?
I strain my eyes to see
But I still can't tell where we are
It's always like this—just a little more
And I could find out who it is, what it is
But right at that moment
New dreams are
Coming up
I'm having a long dream
A really long dream
In this foggy world
I'm walking, feeling my way
I still can't see it clearly
But I'm heading for that light
A long dream
That never ends
A dream I can't wake up from
Everyone is feeling their way
Struggling and fighting
For the sake of something
For the sake of someone
They are spending each day
Eroding their life away
And living toward their end
It's always like this—just a little more
And I could find out who it is, what it is
But right at that moment
New dreams are
Coming up
I'm having a long dream
A really long dream
In this foggy world
I'm walking, feeling my way
I still can't see it clearly
But I'm heading for that light
A long dream
That never ends
A dream I can't wake up from

A dream I can't wake up from
Chao
Difficulties that repeat over and over again.
No matter how much we solve them, they never seem to be resolved.
It's like a foggy dream that you can't wake up from.
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."
