I have two suggestions, even if they are not suitable they may at least give you new ideas:

"I regain my composure". Lacking in meaning but fits perfectly into the song.
or
"Back to my independent self". This conveys the meaning much better and uses a common Ayu theme/word (independent), but might be too long/stray too far from the original words. Option to add "I'm" or "Now I'm" in front to keep to the song format.

Hope you find this useful...your work is always very readable and is much appreciated Masa.
