Lyrics

Game Size

Can you hear me from above?
Do you feel the pain inside of me?

Rushes through, winter in the air
Passing by, no one cares to stop

Can you see me from above?
Do you share my frozen memories?

Setting sun, leaving me alone
Silent dark, saying not a word

Let the snow paint me
Please give me a brand new start on life
Just again, once for all
Let the snow paint me
Please give me a break from yesterday
Smile for me, take my hand

Let the snow paint me

Long Version


Can you hear me from above?
Do you feel the pain inside of me?

Rushes through, winter in the air
Passing by, no one cares to stop

Can you see me from above?
Do you share my frozen memories?

Setting sun, leaving me alone
Silent dark, saying not a word

Let the snow paint me
Please give me a brand new start on life
Just again, once for all
Let the snow paint me
Please give me a break from yesterday
Smile for me, take my hand

Can you watch me from above?
Knowing someone cares can mean a lot

Warming breeze, never seemed to come
Covered green, spring not far away

Can you guide me from above?
All I need is just a little light

Cowardly, I go step by step
Gentle white, hiding all I fear

Let the snow paint me
Please give me a brand new look for life
Just again, once for all
Let the snow paint me
Please give me a break from what I was
Smile for me, take my hand

Let the snow paint me

Song Connections / Remixes

Trivia

Song Production Information

HIRO

This song was recorded in advance for Sana's 2nd album, "Sanative", but it's a brand-new song for beatmaniaIIDX 7th style.
I was excited that the movie was almost made as a promotional video.
I'm grateful to Scotty D. for the wonderful lyrics.
There are many trance songs included in the IIDX series recently, but I thought you would want to enjoy authentic trance songs by avex trax artists, so this song is mainly about the vocals, with some trance-like sounds and phrases.
By the way, during my summer vacation last year I went to the birthplace of trance in Amsterdam, Netherlands, I was a bit surprised that stores in train stations sold trance CDs.

Video Production Information

VJ GYO

I heard that the lyrics of this song, which is translated into Japanese as "Let me be painted with snow" (私を雪で塗り替えて), have the theme of an itako speaking to dead people.
I created this movie to emphasize the texture adjustments in a form which reproduces the lyrics of the song.
