Lyric

I Don't Dream

Shown Moriyama

You left your mark on me and It stays where I can't see

Don't trace my memory, I know I'll fall for you.

(Damn it...)

I ain't no playing games unless you tell me to

I'll do like you do cause I just wanna (Stay so true) to you

Lost in the silence, hoping just for you

Drown in the moment, lost in Tokyo view

Trapped in the madness, longing just for you to choose you

I don't dream cause I'm free from the pain that I used to give in

You're the only one who makes me feel undone

I won’t sleep till I see, where the nights unfold, we’re meant to be

I won’t treat you wrong like they tell you all along

I don't think I'm right

But I don't care tonight

Well, Chasing you, I’m out of sight

We’ll take the bite, and set it right

Can I still believe what you do?

Am I just a move to you running through?

I'm not sure if I need the truth

What is left to prove?

Nothing left to lose

Pulled by the shadows, searching for the clue

Facing the fate as our hearts break through

Trapped in the madness, longing just for you to choose you

I don't dream cause I'm free from the pain that I used to give in

You're the only one who makes me feel undone

I won’t sleep till I see, where the nights unfold, we’re meant to be

I won’t treat you wrong like they tell you all along

I don't dream cause I'm free

I don't dream cause I'm free

I don't dream cause I'm free from the pain that I used to give in

You're the only one who makes me feel undone

I won’t sleep till I see, where the nights unfold, we’re meant to be

I won’t treat you wrong like they tell you all along

With his latest single "I Don't Dream," he turns toward his own Japanese roots, blending traditional sounds such as shamisen and shakuhachi with contemporary pop production.
Bringing together his English-language expression, international songwriting background, and identity as a Japanese artist, the track marks a new chapter for Shown Moriyama.
