[KotaP #02] Yugao no Uso (The Moonflower's Lie) | Fleeting and Beautiful Memories of 'Lies' Spun by AI

As KotaP, I create music together with AI.

This second song is titled

"The Moonflower's Lie"

The theme is an 'Edo-period Oiran (courtesan)'.
Noble, beautiful, yet somehow sorrowful—
I wrote the lyrics while imagining the inner heart of such a woman.

At first, the words felt too immature,
I rewrote them many times... and it is a song that was finally completed on the 6th rewrite.
It is packed with both the difficulty and the fun of 'spinning a story' together with AI.

The musical style is rock.
With a powerful beat, I express the Oiran's 'dignified strength' and 'helpless sorrow' layered together.

🎵 The Moonflower's Lie

In the crimson sunset,
My hands apply the rouge.
Every time my name is called and I smile,
My heart grows damp.

Tears hidden in the scent of flowers,
Droplets soaking deep into the pillow.
I wanted just one truth,
That was the furthest thing away.

I thought it would be fine if it were a lie,
Because every time you held me, you gave me a name.
On the sorrowful night the moonflowers bloomed,
I remained unable to forget you.

The candlelight flickers,
Tracing the shadows on my back.
On my crimson-stained neck,
Truth does not suit me at all.

For whom is this forced smile?
Even my light makeup becomes a lie.
Even if I offer my whole self,
You will not return, will you?

The warmth of your hands,
I only know in dreams.
This body remembers,
A phantom of a single night.

If I could have said it was fine even if it were a lie,
Would I have been allowed to cry?
Under the morning light where the moonflowers scattered,
I am no longer here.

If I could have said it was fine even if it were a lie,
Could I have said those words too?
Around the time the sun shines where the moonflowers scattered,
You still do not know the dream.

Your thoughts and comments are a great encouragement.

Thank you for listening and reading.
