Canvas
Dragon Ash Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

In the eternal drought
Can't live without
any drop of water
It's for quenching a thirst
and everlast
If be in misery we can paint
whatever picture we like
The color is in our mind's eye
I may have found a way
to finally run free
By the way I sing
I may have found a way
to finally run free
By the way I sing
On your mark
見渡した平原 次第に雲は
身流した変幻自在に宙を舞う
皆架した永遠時代の橋をさあ
今轍と成してさあ
咲き誇れ Life story
草木の声が Slowly
この先何処目指すように
Goin'on 陽は思いを馳せ
Walk with grace far place
Gonna paint out We gather way
We got free to do so and still
some way to go
Gonna paint out We gather way
The stilly wind
blows where the heart
wants to go

In the eternal drought
Can't live without
any drop of water
It's for quenching
a thirst and everlast
If be in misery we can paint
whatever picture we like
The color is in our mind's eye
I may have found a way
to finally run free
By the way I sing
I may have found a way
to finally run free
By the way I sing
響き流れ出る時間
歩は四季に抱かれ
開く心眼の軸 時期に渡れ
そこに一端の葉
Super nova おこす 瞬間の波動
さあ 純白のCanvas染める日々の
出発のGuidancceを得る意味を
時の川流れ出せ
流水と意のままなら描けそう
Walk with grace
Walk with grace
Walk with grace
Walk with grace far place
Gonna paint out We gather way
We got free to do so And still
some way to go
Gonna paint out We gather way
The stilly wind
blows where the heart
wants to go
足は光の差す方へ
増した痛み溶かす溶明




足は光の差す方へ
増した痛み溶かす溶明

Overall Meaning

The song continues to describe nature and its beauty; how the clouds change shape, and the ever-flowing river of time. The lyrics express a love for nature, its boundlessness and its effect on the human spirit. The song ends with the idea that the light attracts the singer's footsteps, and that this light is hope that will relieve the pain.

In the eternal drought
Can't live without any drop of water
It's for quenching a thirst and ever last
If be in misery we can paint whatever picture we like
The color is in our mind's eye
I may have found a way to finally run free
By the way I sing

(永遠の日照りの中 一滴の水も無しでなんて生きられないだろ
渇いた喉を潤すための いつまでも絶えることのない
たとえ苦痛の中にいても 僕達は好きな絵を描けばいいんだ
色彩は心理の中にある
自由に駆け回る方法が ようやく分かったかもしれない
今は歌うんだ)

On your mark 見渡した平原 次第に雲は
身流した変幻自在に宙を舞う
皆架した永遠時代の橋をさあ 今轍としてさあ


咲き誇れLife story 草木の声がSlowly
この先何処目指すようにGoin' on 陽は思いを馳せ

Walk with grace far place
Gonna paint out We gather way
We got free to do so and still some way to go
Gonna paint out We gather way
The stilly wind blows where the heart wants to go

(遥かな地へ 誇らしく行こう
スピードを上げ描くんだ
僕達は自由を手に入れた 道はまだ少し続いてる
スピードを上げ描くんだ
心が望む場所では 今も穏やかな風が吹いているから)

In the eternal drought
Can't live without any drop of water
It's for quenching a thirst and ever last
If be in misery we can paint whatever picture we like
The color is in our mind's eye
I may have found a way to finally run free
By the way I sing

響き流れ出る時間 歩は四季に抱かれ
開く心眼の輪 時期に渡れ そこに一端の葉
Super nova おこす 瞬間の波動
さあ 純白のCanvas染める日々の 出発のGuidanceを得る意味を
時の川流れ出せ 流水と意のままなら描けそう

Walk with grace far place
Gonna paint out We gather way
We got free to do so And still some way to go
Gonna paint out We gather way
The stilly wind blows where the heart wants to go
