Music: ummm, lyrics: Kaya

My frosted breath melts in the air
Upon a crisp midnight
I can't even see the stars

The snow falls around clasped hands
As if to hide them away

yoru ni tokeru shiroi toiki
sunda mayonaka
hoshi sae mo mienai

kakureru you ni tsunaida yubi ni
yuki ga maiochite kuru

Powdered snow lying thickly
Colors everything in white
And faintly conceals cruel reality

So place your numbed hands
Softly on top of mine
And just like that together we
Will sink into the snow

furitsumoru konayuki
subete shiroku someru
zankoku na genjitsu o
awaku tsutsunde

kajikamu te no hira o
sotto kasaneawasete
kono mama futari de yuki ni shizumu no

The pure white snow
Will hide us two away

So don't stop yet
More, just a little longer still

Keep deceiving me with lies
Until this snowfall ends

A transient honeymoon

masshiro na yuki ga
futari o kakushite iku

mada yamanaide
mou sukoshi ato sukoshi dake

yasashii uso de damashi tsuzukete
yuki ga yamu made

hakanai mitsugetsu

The sad wish I've kept hidden away
Suddenly feels like it'll overflow

See only me
Don't ever let go
Hold me tight
And stay here by my side

mune ni himeta kanashii negai ga
fui ni koboresou ni naru

watashi dake mite ite
zutto hanarenaide
tsuyoku dakishimete
douka soba ni ite

But my unfulfilled wish
Still remains unsaid

To melt and disappear like the dancing snow

kanawanai negai wa
kotoba ni mo narazu ni
br> maichiru yuki no you ni tokete kieru no

Powdered snow lying thickly
Colors everything in white
And faintly conceals cruel reality

Even with our numbed hands
Softly intertwined

I will never reflect in your eyes

furitsumoru konayuki
subete shiroku somete
zankoku na genjitsu o
awaku tsutsunde

kajikamu te no hira o
kasaneawasete mo

sono hitomi ni watashi wa utsuranai

Promises, smiles, and warmth
Blur together as if waking from a dream

Really though, I had known
A long, long time ago

You would never live here with me

yakusoku ga egao ga nukumori ga
yume kara sameru you ni boyakete iku

hontou wa zutto mae kara
mou wakatte ita no

anata wa watashi to ikite wa kurenai

The lyrics to Last Snow seem to be along the same lines as those of Transient and Current. Looking back, it was probably current that got me into Schwarz Stein to begin with. Before that some guy had asked me to translate their diary entries and I'd kinda thought, "Who are these people and why should I care?" But Current was what kept me interested in them for all these years...And then it was Transient that made me kinda step back, look at Kaya, and go, "Mrmph?! Exactly what was that supposed to be about dude?!"....XD

Well, anyhow. With that in mind, I assume Last Snow is about him coming to terms with the reality that the guy he likes will never see him as more than a friend, or accept his lifestyle or the world he's aiming for. Kinda sad - also life.

The background for this release is one I made a few years ago, and loved but never had a chance to use really. The only difference is the flower. I wonder what flowers he used on his CD cover. Looks like they might be peonies too.

Btw, was anyone else completely devastated that they discontinued the Angel Jardin d'Etoiles perfume line? (rose, lily, peony, lilac) ;_;

Dunno what I'm going to do once mine's gone...pout or something.
