CLAN QUEEN delivers a haunting melody with ‘Whitoxin,’ co-composed by Aoi, Norikatsu Teruchi, and Tetsuro Sawamoto. The songwriter, Aoi, pens lyrics that mix melancholy with a poetic touch. The track wraps listeners in a chilling yet emotional embrace, as the music mirrors the weight of the words.
Aoi writes about loss and longing, using winter as a metaphor for emotional coldness. The line ‘Winter must have grown jealous of my love, so it stole the sound of your voice away, didn’t it?’ stands out, blending heartbreak with a sense of poetic beauty. The songwriter describes memories that linger, even as the world around them fades.
Furu yuki ga kanashimi suraThe falling snow carries away even my sadness,
Yurusazu ni hokobite ikuwithout granting me a single ounce of forgiveness.
Futoumei na atatakasa de waWith only this opaque warmth,
Kawaku fuyu o kosenai mamaI remain unable to survive this dry winter.
Karuku naru kokoro de kimi no ita omosa o shiruAs my heart grows lighter, I realize just how heavy your presence was.
Aijou ja mitasenai kokoro no sukima mo aruThere are voids in my heart that love alone cannot fill.
Dore hodo no jikan de moNo matter how much time passes,
Mitsukaranai pazuru no atothe traces of that missing puzzle piece are never found.
Hitotsu dake tarinai watashiI am left here, missing just one piece.
Ima de mo ima de moEven now, even now,
Uso wa nai you ni waratteI smile so that there are no lies between us.
Anata no anata noAnd the world, the world where
Ita sekai ga kumotte ikuyou once existed is clouding over.
Ima de mo ima de moEven now, even now,
Anata no sono kaijoudo mata sagatte ikuthe resolution of your memory drops lower again.
