White Death
少女病 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The small land grew up larger than the former power
She was a piece to threaten
But she was forced to sing before long
Lili... sad lullaby of farewell for the fools
She is crying...
She is crying... She is crying... and she is singing now
Any heaven or hell can save her soul
Where are you now, oh please do let me know
I can hear your voice
But still it's so far away
The world in me is grayish snow
Ticking at the end
They're the Reverbs of bygone days
"Welcome to the last scene"
Fools parade along gloriusly to hell
Death is clapping their hands
Oh... Like a festival crescendo
I don't want to lament
I don't want to fear
She is crying...
She is crying... She is crying... and she is singing now
She is singing the white death
Whispering softly to the fools "come and play"
Where are you now, oh please do let me know
I can hear you voice
But still it's so far away
The world in me is grayish snow
Ticking at the end
They're the reverbs of bygone days
Where are you now, oh please do let me know
I can hear you voice
But still it's so far away
The world in me is grayish snow
Ticking at the end
Keeps on spinning without stopping
Where are you now, oh please do let me know
I can hear you voice
But still it's so far away
The world in me is grayish snow
Ticking at the end
They're the reverbs of bygone days
Tick-tock... Tick-tack...
Hear the funeral march
Such big sins
Resigned eyes
Oh... Death is laughing
Tick-tock... Tick-tack...
The clock is ticking away the seconds
Listen... Don't break my heart...
I'm not thy God...
The lyrics to "White Death" by 少女病 (Shoujo Byou) are complex and full of symbolism. The song tells the story of a young girl named Lili who is forced to sing despite being a piece to threaten. As the owner of Seiren, a small land that grew larger than the former power, she was seen as a threat to those in power and forced to sing against her will. The lyrics suggest that no one can save her from her fate, and she is left to cry and sing the white death.
The chorus of the song repeats the line "where are you now, oh please do let me know, I can hear your voice, but still it's so far away." This line suggests that Lili is searching for someone to save her from her fate, but no one is able to reach her. The world around her is described as "grayish snow ticking at the end" which adds to the heavy and somber mood of the song.
Line by Line Meaning
As owner of seiren
Being in control of the land
The small land grew up larger than the former power
The land grew larger and more powerful under her leadership
She was a piece to threaten
She was a threat to others
But she was forced to sing before long
Despite being a threat to others, she was forced to comply and sing
Lili... sad lullaby of farewell for the fools
The song Lili is a sad goodbye to those who are foolish
She is crying... She is crying... She is crying... and she is singing now
Despite being made to sing, she is still crying and upset
But no one will ever save her
No one will come to save her from her situation
Any heaven or hell can save her soul
Neither heaven nor hell can help her soul
Where are you now, oh please do let me know
Asking someone where they are
I can hear your voice
Despite being far away, their voice can still be heard
But still it's so far away
Even though their voice can be heard, they are still physically distant
The world in me is grayish snow
The world around is bleak and lifeless
Ticking at the end
Time is running out
They're the Reverbs of bygone days
The echoes of the past
"Welcome to the last scene"
This is the final act
Fools parade along gloriously to hell
Foolish people are parading to their own demise
Death is clapping their hands
Death is celebrating or applauding the demise of the fools
Oh... Like a festival crescendo
The carnival of death is intensifying
I don't want to lament
I don't want to grieve
I don't want to fear
I don't want to be afraid
She is singing the white death
She is singing about death and despair
Whispering softly to the fools "come and play"
Inviting the foolish to join in their demise
Keeps on spinning without stopping
Time continues to move forward without pause
Hear the funeral march
Hearing the sounds of a death march
Such big sins
The weight of the sins committed is heavy
Resigned eyes
Having given up or surrendered
Oh... Death is laughing
Death is enjoying their victory
The clock is ticking away the seconds
The clock continues to count down
Listen... Don't break my heart...
Asking someone to listen and not cause pain
I'm not thy God...
She is not powerful enough to save anyone

Man I can't express how many times I've returned to this song across multiple points of my life. For a song THIS intense, it has ironically become a comfy nostalgic checkpoint I occasionally feel the urge to listen to and see how far I've come compared to when I listened to it last time
