"Pursuing My True Self" is the opening theme for Persona 4. It is the first track on the Persona 4 Original Soundtrack. The song is sung by Shihoko Hirata. It is played during the opening in the first episode of Persona 4 The Animation.

A chorus from this song can be heard on the boss theme "I'll Face Myself."

An extended version was released on Never More -Reincarnation: Persona 4-.

In Persona 4: Dancing All Night, this song is used for Rise, and two remixed versions arranged by Ryota Kozuka and Shinichi Osawa, are used for Chie and Teddie.[1][2]

Persona_4_Opening

Persona 4 Opening

We are living our lives
Abound with so much information

Come on, let go of the remote
Don't you know you're letting all the junk flood in?
I try to stop the flow, double-clicking on the go
But it's no use, hey, I'm being consumed
Loading, loading, loading
Quickly reaching maximum capacity
Warning, warning, warning
Gonna short-circuit my identity (ah)

Get up on your feet, tear down the walls
Catch a glimpse of the hollow world
Snooping 'round town will get you nowhere
You're locked up in your mind

We're all trapped in a maze of relationships
Life goes on with or without you
I swim in the sea of the unconscious
I search for your heart, pursuing my true self

Persona_4_-Reincarnation-_Pursuing_My_True_Self

Persona 4 -Reincarnation- Pursuing My True Self

We are living our lives
Abound with so much information

Come on, let go of the remote
Don't you know you're letting all the junk flood in?
I try to stop the flow, double-clicking on the go
But it's no use, hey, I'm being consumed
Loading, loading, loading
Quickly reaching maximum capacity
Warning, warning, warning
Gonna short-circuit my identity (ah)

Get up on your feet, tear down the walls
Catch a glimpse of the hollow world
Snooping 'round town will get you nowhere
You're locked up in your mind

We're all trapped in a maze of relationships
Life goes on with or without you
I swim in the sea of the unconscious
I search for your heart, pursuing my true self

Get up, get up, it's time to get real
Can't control the steering wheel, outside is in a veil of mystery
Won't get out so easily
We are living our lives, and we realize what's happening
Hey, brother, watch yourself
Grab your things, don't miss your chance
Find your own rhythm
And dance your own dance

Be creative, chart your course
You must know what lies ahead
Driving through the deep end of the ocean
Leaving obscurity

You are standing in the middle of another world
It's hard to feel your real emotions
You are smiling in a shirt wet with bitter tears
Let me help you find a place to call it home

We're all trapped in a maze of relationships
Life goes on with or without you
I swim in the sea of the unconscious
I search for your heart, pursuing my true self
