灰ノ雪
exist†trace Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

小さい記憶のアナタは花を摘んで笑ってる
けれどももうその笑顔は見れない 夢を見ているの?

一命は取り留めたけど意識は無いの
アナタはワタシの「娘」

雪の様なアナタの様な真っ白な仔猫
雨に打たれ人に紛れ淋しくて死ぬの?
届かないよ聞こえないよ何もかも白紙
花の様に・・・アナタもすぐ散るの?

小さい記憶のアナタはママに抱かれ眠ってる
けれどももうその眠顔は見れない 夢なら覚めてよ?

一命は取り留めたけど意識は無いの
ワタシはアナタの「母親」

雪の様なアナタの様な真っ白な仔猫
雨に打たれ人に紛れ淋しくて死ぬの?
届かないよ聞こえないよ何もかも白紙
花の様に・・・アナタもすぐ散るの?

「あの日までのママはいつも笑っていたけど」
「あの日からのママはいつま泣いてばかりで・・・」

何度呼べば天に乞えばアナタ目を覚ます?
子猫は既に冷たくなっていた

雪の様なアナタの様な真っ白な仔猫
雨に打たれ人に紛れ淋しくて...
届かないよ聞こえないよ何もかも白紙





花の様に・・・アナタもすぐ...

Overall Meaning

The title of the song is "Kai no Yuki” (Snow of Ashes) written by exist†trace. The song is about a mother grieving the loss of her daughter, who died at a young age. The lyrics are poignant and full of raw emotion. The first verse describes the memories that the mother has of her daughter as a young child, innocent and full of joy. But now, the mother can no longer see her daughter’s smile, and wonders if she is lost in her own dreams.


The chorus of the song contains a metaphor of a baby kitten that is white as snow, similar to her daughter. The kitten is out in the rain, alone and cold, destined to die soon. The mother questions if her daughter will meet the same fate as the kitten, and if everything in life is just a blank slate that nobody can control.


In the second verse, the mother reminisces about holding her daughter when she was a baby, but now she can no longer see her peaceful sleeping face. The mother comes to terms with being called the “mother” of the daughter, even though she's passed away. She repeats the metaphor of the kitten, and questions if calling out to her daughter or praying to the gods would bring her back to life. But in the end, she accepts the truth that her daughter has already passed away.

Напоминает старые застольные песни которые одновременно мрачные своими словами и одновременно наполнены человеческими эмоциями помогающими открыть душу.

If I am not mistaken, this is one of their lesser known tunes. Before they hit mainstream success. Which is a shame considering how awesome it is...
