The final round for the audition ‘POP ICON PROJECT TOKYO’ was held in Tokyo late last year with the goal “to discover artists that transmit the charms of Japanese pop culture.” It was organized by internationally renowned fashion director Nicola Formichetti, a frequent collaborator with Lady Gaga and former artistic director for Mugler, with intent to debut the winners as a new girl group under Nippon Columbia.
The open audition brought in 2000 applicants which were then cut down to 55 for the first round, 13 for the final round and just three of them were selected as the winners.
PARALLEL WORLD
color-code Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
君を誘う
何もない予定
自惚れるような
愛想笑いも
尽きた夜更けに
あの空へ君は
探し求め出すだろう
But end of find tomorrow
Nobody help nobody search me
夢の扉それだけ
目の前に
どんなにどんなに
はしゃいだって
It's over 一晩中
騒いだっていい
Cause end off find tomorrow
秘密の世界へと
誰も其処にいない
助けてくれない
どんなに叫んでも
木霊するだけ
何がどう
誰がどうこう
とかの問題じゃない
時すでに遅し
無駄な時間は阻止 we goes on
思い描いた構想
そんな自分こそ
ロクでもない妄想
張り巡らして
Like a spider web
引っかかったらもう即 the end
拗れるばかりの罠にハマっていく事例
でも君がいれば take off
その手を差し出してよ
虹色以上の色が織り成す
架け橋に足を伸ばし
歩きだそう
大丈夫だって
どうせ後戻りできないから
進むしかないんだ
But end of find tomorrow
Nobody help nobody search me
夢の扉それだけ
目の前に
どんなにどんなに
はしゃいだって
It's over 一晩中
騒いだっていい
Cause end off find tomorrow
秘密の世界へと
もう一つの世界
君は信じるかい？
選ばなかった way
もう片方の another story
歩いていたら今頃
どう転がってる
今よりもっと輝いてるかな
'What a beautiful'
なんて謳歌していたのかな
あの日の後悔が
今でも過ぎ去って
後ろめたい気持ちを
連れてくるけど
一攫千金狙う宝くじみたいな
可能性の中に
生きていくのも
それなりに悪くはないわよ
The lyrics of "Parallel World" by Color-code speaks about a secret place where the singer invites someone to come along with them. In the quiet and peaceful night, they both will look for answers and search for solutions to their problems. The lyrics suggest that the two individuals have nothing important to do, and the singer understands that even a forced smile could not help them in such a situation. They both leave for the sky to explore and find their answers. However, they realize nobody can help them, and they have to find their way through their problems.
Despite their struggles, they express their happiness and hope through their words about exploring and playing games that help them forget about their worries. They turn to their secret world where no one can find them and spend the night talking and diving deep into their thoughts. The lyrics suggest that the past only brings regret, and it's better to focus on the present moment and the future possibilities that might happen. The singer is hopeful and determined to explore another world where there is a chance for a better and brighter tomorrow.
