Intro – Slow / Dark (≈70 BPM)
(half-whisper, spacey)
4AM…
Snow on my boots, sun not up yet
まだ誰も見てない時間
⸻
Verse 1 – Slow Tempo / Heavy
Minnesota nights, breath in the cold
Dreams too big for the stories I was told
Basement light, clock won’t move
4AM thoughts say “prove it, dude”
Pride in my chest, doubt in my head
Same damn fight when I lay in bed
They asleep, I’m wide awake
この痛みが future を作る sake
⸻
Pre-Chorus – Slow → Building
Heart beat loud in the silence
逃げ道なんて もうないです
⸻
Hook – Slow, Melodic
4AM, still chasing light
蜃気楼でも 手伸ばした
Cold nights, lonely flights
でも信じた this ain’t a lie
From the USA, still not there
But my soul already in the air
4AM, eyes won’t close
まだ途中 — everybody knows
⸻
⚡ TEMPO SWITCH ⚡
(beat cuts — then comes back FAST)
⸻
Verse 2 – Fast / Aggressive (≈140 BPM)
Florida sun, same damn hunger
Palm trees don’t make pain disappear, brother
Bills still due, grind still real
汗だくでも夢は chill
Packed two bags, booked that flight
Fear came with me, sat real tight
USA stamped in my spine
日本まで straight-line grind
Jet lag brain, no excuses
Broken Japanese but I still use it
“すみません” to “ありがとう”
Every small word proves I grew
⸻
Hook – Fast Version
4AM, no sleep, go mode
From Minnesota snow to Japan roads
Not a mirage, this real life
Every loss paid for this flight
USA past, Tokyo now
胸張って言う “I’m here somehow”
4AM, heartbeat loud
辿り着いた but I ain’t bow
⸻
Bridge – Beat Drops / Half-Time
Miss home? yeah, sometimes
でも後悔は one time: none
Cold, heat, ocean crossed
この景色が全ての答え
⸻
Final Hook – Fast → Slow Blend
4AM, I changed my fate
遠回りが俺を make
From Midwest nights to neon rain
蜃気楼じゃなかった — stayed sane
USA to Japan, still grow
Pride in my walk, humility low
4AM, sun come up
まだ途中 — but I showed up
⸻
Outro – Slow (callback)
4AM…
Same kid, new land
Still grinding
確かに
ここにいる
TAKAI
