Description
It's like talking to yourself in the cold air when the snow is falling too thickly to see beyond your outstretched hand. The words are not a confession, but a quiet list of what cannot be returned, what was not done in time, what has turned into a lump in your throat. But within this fatigue, there is already a movement forward: let the past stick, let the mistakes remain, but your feet still walk in the present.
The song is like a white sheet that cannot be erased, but you can continue to write on it. Snow here is not only about winter, but about a rare chance to hide and stop pretending to be strong. And amid this cold, a barely noticeable warmth is born - the hope that one day, through the changing seasons, you will still meet someone and say the name you have not yet forgotten.
Lyrics and translation
Original
時には誰かを知らず知らずのう ちに傷つけてしまったり 失った りして初めて犯した罪を 知る 戻れないよ昔のようには煌め いて見えたとしても 明日へと歩き出さなきゃ雪が降りしきる 音も 今の僕には何ができるの？ 何になれるの？
誰かの ために生きるなら正しいことばかり言ってらんないよな どこかの街 でまた出会えたら僕の名前を覚えていますか？
その頃にはきっと 春風が吹くだろう 黒星に生まれ変わって人生一から始めようがヘバりすぎてな らない実付きの今を歩いてくんだ 白に全てサヨナラ降りしきる雪 よ全てを包み込んでくれ今日だけは全てを隠してく れ 戻れないよ昔のよ うには悔やんでしまったとしても 明 日へと歩き出さなきゃ雪が降りしき る音も いつものように笑ってたんだ分かり合えると思ってたんだ曖昧なサイン を見落として後方のない間違い探し 季節を越えてまた出会えたら君の 名前を呼んでもいいかな？
その頃にはきっと 春風が吹くだろう 黒星に生まれ変わって人生一から始め ようが首の皮一枚繋がったどうしようもない今を生きてくんだ 白に全てサヨナラ降りしきる雪よ今だけはこの心残らせてくれ全 てを忘れさせてくれ 目 覚 めたらどこか誰かになってやしないかな？
まだやしないような聞き流してくれ 瀬はない日常の 中で不思議だけを重ねたその向こう側に待ち受 けるのは天国か地獄か いったん人は鈍感なもの分かりゃ しないんだ腹の中それでも愛し愛され生きていくのが定めと知 って 後悔ばかりの人生だ取り返しのつかない過ちの一つや二つく らい誰にでもあるよね そのもんかろうんざりするよ 黒星に生まれ変わって人生一から始めようがヘバりすぎてなら ない実付きの今を歩いてくんだ 白に全てサヨナラ降りしきる雪よ全てを 包み込んでくれ今日だけは全て を 隠してく
English translation
Sometimes I unknowingly hurt someone or lose someone, and then I realize the crime I committed for the first time. I can't go back. Even if I look sparkling like before, I have to start walking towards tomorrow. The snow is falling. What can I do now? What can I become?
If you want to live for someone, you can't just say the right things.If we meet again in some town, will you remember my name?
By that time, the spring breeze will surely blow. I'll be reborn as a black star and start my life from scratch, but I'll be walking through this now, full of fruit. It's snow that's falling all in white, saying goodbye. Wrap everything in. Hide everything for today. I can't go back. Even if I regret it like before, I have to start walking towards tomorrow. There's also the sound of falling snow. We were smiling like always. I thought we understood each other. I overlooked the ambiguous signs and looked for the mistakes without looking back. If we meet again across seasons, can I call your name?
By that time, I'm sure the spring breeze will blow. I'll be reborn as a black star and start my life from scratch. I'll live this helpless moment with only the skin of my neck tied to my neck. Say goodbye to all the white snow. Just for now, let me leave my heart behind. Let me forget everything. Won't you become someone else when you wake up?
Don't listen to me as if I'm still unresolved. Is heaven or hell waiting for me on the other side of the endless wonders of everyday life? Once you understand that people are insensitive, you know in your heart that it's your destiny to love and be loved. You live a life full of regrets. Everyone has made one or two mistakes that can't be undone, right? That's disgusting. Even if I'm reborn as a black star and start my life from scratch, I'll walk through this now, with all its fruit. Goodbye to all the white snow that's falling, wrap me up and hide everything just for today.
