“Roses are red and violets are blue
He gave me a brush
to draw everything I’ve ever been through.

The dark night started hinting me the light and the grey skies above me turned blue
as I knelt against my honesty
and I painted you.”



It depicts the anxiety and worry of embarking on a new relationship, and how previous bad experiences keep replaying in your head like a wave of nightmares, but as long as someone would hold your hand, it feels like you can overcome any outcomes together.


新しい恋愛に踏み出すことへの不安や心配、これまでの嫌な経験がまるで悪夢の波のように頭の中で再生され続けるが、相手が手を取ってくれる限り、どんな大きな問題も一緒に乗り越えていけると感じていることを描いています。





Our heart is a house full of locked rooms;
Kitchen of lust, bedroom of grief, bathroom of apathy.

Sometimes the men - they come with keys, and
sometimes, the men - they come with hammers.

But we need to find the one who will dance you through the closed doors.


Dance With Me
