Snow Dance
DOPING PANDA Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Mado ni misuteriasu egaita samui sora ni
Dance shiroi up step yubi de fun de
Call you about this snow dance
Dance kikoe nai
Asa wo tateru kimi no coffee sound
Hitori de my self dance and more
So I close my eyes once again
Kawatte yuku kiete yuku
Ai wa tada atatakai kioku
Dakara mou sukoshi dake
Nemuritai koko de tsumoru made
Ano hi deai mazariatte
Yoru no shiroi hikari sore dakede
Matte ita yo snow dance
Sukoshi dake himitsu yose atta
Imi wo tokasu asayake wo
Sotto matte ita yo futari de
Dance ijiketa kubi ni koe wo sotto yosete
Kuusou de warawasetakute dakedo
Dance toke nai himitsu wa genjitsu de
Warai nagara we cried all the time
Kawatte yuku kiete yuku
Ai wa mou toke dashita kioku
Dakedo mou sukoshi dake
Nemuritai koko de tsumoru made
Ano hi deai mazariatte
Yoru no shiroi hikari sore dakede
Matte ita yo snow dance
Mochi yotta kodoku keshisatta
Imi wo tokasu asayake wo
Zutto matte ita yo futari de
We've got snow dance
We loved each other
The song "Snow Dance" by DOPING PANDA tells a story of love, memories, and the fleeting nature of life. The opening line "Dance ima nemui me wo akete" translates to "Dance, open your sleepy eyes now," indicating that the singer is inviting someone to dance with them. However, it seems that they are only dancing with themselves as they say "Hitori de my self dance and more" or "Dancing alone with myself." The cold and snowy weather outside serves as the backdrop for this introspective dance. The line "Mado ni misuteriasu egaita samui sora ni" describes the view through the window that has mist and is cold, which hints at the singer's loneliness.
The lyrics describe an emotional journey of the singer, who is lost in a world of memories and the regrets of the past. The line "Kawatte yuku kiete yuku, Ai wa tada atatakai kioku" translates to "Changing, disappearing, love remains as warm memories." The lyrics indicate that the singer is haunted by memories of a past love, and as time passes, those memories fade away. The chorus "Ano hi deai mazariatte, Yoru no shiroi hikari sore dakede, Matte ita yo snow dance" or "We met that day, just that white light in the night, I waited for the snow dance" tells the tale of two people who fell in love and danced together under the snow.
