白い闇
ROUAGE Lyrics

The lyrics in ROUAGE's song "白い闇" ("White Darkness") paint a picture of a saintly and quiet night that is whiter than anything else. The Virgin air mentioned in the lyrics is so delicate and fragile that it would break and disappear at the slightest touch. The lyrics go on to describe how an unyielding passage of time brings a hopeless future with it. The various emotions expressed throughout different moments in life, and the gentleness one has learned along the way are remembered every time we pass each other by. Despite the murky rain and the fact that you are left without an umbrella, there is a changeless midnight where you shut your eyes and drift off. The idea of rebirth is also introduced, where the once broken and vanished Virgin air is renewed and reborn. There is an endless abyss of darkness and helplessness that is never-ending, and there are feelings that once spoken, cannot be taken back. This is where the dichotomy between the writer's weakness and the listener's nobleness comes in. It is also the point at which the rain they are enduring takes on a bitter taste. Frozen fingers in the middle of the night can be ignored as they focus solely on the snowy landscape before them.

Overall, the song touches on the themes of the passing of time, fragility, pain, and rebirth. It expresses the importance of memories and the wisdom that comes with multiple experiences. It also deals with the common emotions of fear and hopelessness of the future, all while trying to prevent others from getting dirtied in the process as they face these challenges.
