snow drop
L'Arc-~en~Ciel Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

This clear drop is you, the lovely sound of water
A glissening swaying ripple is the premonition of spring; an awakening spell

Beyond the wall, it was piled up and crumbled
Softly, that day I laughed at it

Strange isn't it, the time, rusted and stopped
Informs even this world of the morning

So I try to stare at it without closing my eyes
If the white snow flower that blossomed in midwinter comes now, I should notice it

The tangled clouds overhead are tearing
The frozen earth quietly changed color
The flapping wings of birds, the singing voice of the people
Start to echo, and my heart burns
And with a gentle smile on the sunken landscape under the eternal sky
The wind blows that you were here

If I top up the broken rail with paint
A clear tomorrow will have come

Life, strange isn't it, is the time, rusted and stopped
That informs even this world of the morning
We walk in the warm snow that poured down

It seems like a blessing, la la lu la la, la la lu la la, la la lu la la
It was as if you wore a white bell

Overall Meaning

The song "Snow Drop" by L'Arc-~en~Ciel is a beautiful piece that focuses on the theme of transition from winter to spring. The lyrics suggest that the snow is a symbol of a lost love, and the arrival of spring represents hope and renewal. The clear drop mentioned in the first line of the song is a metaphor for the purity and clarity of the love shared between two people. The lovely sound of water represents the gentle flow of that love from one person to the other. As the snow begins to melt and give way to spring, the awakening spell leads to a fresh start and a new beginning.


The wall mentioned in the second verse could signify a barrier or obstacle that the singer is trying to overcome. The crumbling of that wall indicates that the obstacle is slowly being removed, allowing the person to move forward. Despite the negative aspects of life, like the rusted and stopped time mentioned in stanza 3, hope for a better future remains, and the singer tries to stay positive by looking at the world around them with open eyes. The arrival of the white snow flower, which is expected in midwinter, is a metaphor for new beginnings and opportunities that arise unexpectedly.


The tangled clouds overhead represent the confusion and chaos in the world around us. Nevertheless, the arrival of spring represents the end of this cold, dark phase and the beginning of a bright and warm future. The singing voice of people and the flapping wings of birds symbolize the pleasure and joys of life. At the conclusion of the song, the final image of the sunken landscape under the eternal sky and the gentle smile implies that the singer has found peace and tranquillity, and the wind still carries with it the memories of their loved one.

歌詞 自分用

0:47
透明な雫はあなた 可憐な水の音
きらめくように揺れる波紋は春の予感 目覚めの呪文

崩れ落ちてゆく積み上げた防壁の向こうでは
そっとあの日の僕が笑ってた

不思議だね錆びついてとまっていた時が
この世界にも朝を告げてくれるよ

そう瞳閉ざしてないで よく見つめてみて
真冬に咲いた白いユキノハナに今なら気がつくはず-

ふりほどけなかった頭上の雲は裂けて
凍りつく大地にはひそやかに色づいた
鳥達の羽ばたきが人々の歌声が
響き始めて胸を焦がすよ
そして永遠の空の下沈んでた風景に優しい笑みで
風に吹かれるあなたがいた

とぎれたレ-ルを絵の具でつぎ足したら
鮮やかな明日が動き出した

運命は不思議だね錆びついて止まっていた時が
この世界にも朝を告げてくれるよ
歩き出す僕たちにあたたかな雪が降りそそいでいた
祝福されたように ララルララ ララルララ ララルララ
あなたはまるで白いベ-ルを被ったようだね
