[Eng Sub] A Palette Full of You [Siinamota ft. Hatsune Miku] 

I feel this is one of the crucial songs to understand PowaPowaP's main struggle when he was alive: growing up and loosing "Yourself". We don't need to go really far on the lyrics analysis. There are two each with two opposite events: Elementary Schoolers and Middle Schoolers is one, High Schoolers and Adults are other. The first opposition Is the passage from extreme childhood, when elementary schoolers paint mud on their faces attempting to get attention, to the mid-childhood when middle schoolers paint their arms and play normally. It's a trajectory from the state of "Individual" to the state of the "Collective". This trajectory happens again on the passage from a high-school where people desperate on trying to detach (high schoolers paint their hairs) towards a adult world like Japan's where the status quo is brutal, then Adults paint their lungs by smoking and conforming themselves with adulthood and the loss of their individuality. This is of great weight on PowaPowaP, after all he committed suicide by feeling like he lost his charm after he became an adult, and this song is exactly about this. May he rest in peace.

good talents and people leave this world like fireworks . bright and beautiful but fade fast, such is life

I think when it says the lines about different school ages it actually means: High schoolers paint color into their hair: High schoolers change their appearance to fit in more with others. This could also mean constantly changing themselves and their appearance so they can just stay "friends" with others. Elementary Schoolers paint mud on their faces: This is when they change themselves and their personalities so they're not left out and considered weird, and they paint mud specifically because it's changing them so that they're not clear like they used to be. Middle Schoolers paint color onto their arms: MIddle schoolers are going through adolescence, thus cutting themselves due to the stress of friends and school(although this is just to describe the depression, but in most cases, not actually meaning cutting themselves). College students paint color onto their lungs: Although most just interpreted this as smoking, I think this could also mean them breathing and having to accept the cruel world and it's lies. I saw a lot of people(and the description) coming up with simple things like elementary kids throwing mud at each other while playing and the like, but we have to remember how much symbolism and thought Powapowa-P put into his work. In fact, just looking at a song like "Please Give Me a Red Pen" can get you thinking for hours. This dude had a really deep, almost philosophical outlook on life. It's a shame that I discovered him after he died, I think if we have a lot in common regarding how we see life. Overall, these lines, in my opinion, are supposed to represent the constant struggles throughout life. Elementary schoolers had to try and fake themselves so they could fit in with other people, middle schoolers going through stress and depression from being bullied, and the constant stress from schoolwork, especially in Asia (In fact, i'm in 7th grade myself, 13 years old, but I really enjoy dissecting things like Powapowa-Ps work), high schoolers, who have already changed their own core personalities, have to constantly adapt to others so they can be accepted by others, and finally, college students painting color onto their lungs by breathing in the lies and corruption of the "real" world, since they were always cared for and nurtured up until high school, and eventually becoming corrupted, or "tainted" themselves(You can also relate this as to why he killed himself, because he didn't want to grow up and become "tainted," instead of doing what he loved just for fun). Everybody can relate to this song because of what it's representing, some more than others. Edit: When he says "They can't tell one color from another anymore," I think this means that each individual's personalities have been so changed that we can't tell who they really are, and everyone tries to fit into this "perfect circle" of life that we create, we can hardly tell the difference from one person to the next.

I seriously wished I had listened to PowaPowa-P's music before he passed away. I always saw strobe light and strobe last in the suggestions and never clicked on them. now I wish I had. I would have found out powapowa-p's amazing songs much sooner. I feel like his music just has a certain style to it that's just extremely unique and I love it so much. I hope he is happy right now ;(

Sometimes I wonder what Siinamota could've accomplished, how much his songs might've progressed, if he had gotten help. If he had gone down a road of recovery. These songs of his are full of suffering, and I suppose that's what makes them so authentic and appealing to a wide audience - when you're in a deep, dark place, you tend to speak directly into whatever you make or say. Being vulnerable to your own depression, loneliness, thoughts, can make your creations seem so much more real, but it can also limit your own art and creativity. Don't get me wrong. I love his songs. I believe loving them is not an insult to his memory or to his suffering, but rather a good way to honor his memory, considering he put his heart and soul into the songs he made; his songs have brought comfort to many, many people, and I truly wish he's resting in peace after all his life of suffering, knowing what an impact he made upon so many people for the better (and for the worse). However, it does make me sad to think about the amazing songs he might've made, had he ever gotten the help and support he needed, and learned to cope with life.

from what i can tell this song is about things such as loosing innocence and growing up. it starts off from when you are a little kid and playing around in mud puddles and toys with no cares in the world then it goes to in middle school which is when lots of kids get confused about things like identity and experiment with different styles, such as being an athlete, goth, geek, ect. next is high school when people begin to experiment with things such as sexual orientation, dating, and identity then is college when people begin to experiment with drugs and begin to drink things like alcohol the song uses color as a metaphor for things like identity and experiences, as some one grows up more and more experiences are added and turn into your personality, or in the songs case the more colors are added and mixed together to the point where you forget what you started with you can;t go back to your innocence just like how you can't un-mix colors we all need to grow up eventually and doing so makes us forget what it was like to be so pure and innocent as a young child

I broke down today and cried. I didn't follow his works closely, but the songs from him that I do know well, I love them greatly and they left a big impression in me. Now realizing he's not here anymore after such a journey, I just can't help but cry. He did try his best to fight. Thank you Coleena.

The Blue girl can represent see no evil, and also sadness. The Red girl can represent hear no evil, and also anger. The Yellow girl can represent see no evil, and also happiness. While the black girl can represent do no evil, and depression / and or loneliness. And there is even deeper meaning in the lyrics. Siinamotaさん was truly talented.

I think the meaning of the different school ages "painting" themselves is shown in the picture where the kids cover themselves with their hands. Yellow (elementary school): telling lies "painting mud" to grab more attention from society. (Painting mud "on their faces" could mean telling lies from their face/mouth.) Red (middle school): dealing with overall depression now that their innocence of elementary school is gone by cutting their wrists "painting their wrists" or possibly using creativity to ease their mind by drawing on their wrists. Blue (high school): changing their appearance "painting their hair" to be accepted in society. Black (college student): accepting the world around them by loosing their true colors and breathing through corrupted lungs "painting their lungs". "Breathing through corrupted lungs" is a metaphor that means "becoming evil/tainted," which could very well be caused by society. Other theories also say that college students resort to drugs, alcohol, or specifically smoking for this case to deal with the pressure of society.

"middle-schoolers get tattoos on their arms (or maybe cut their wrists?)" Actually, kids tend to draw on one another with marker and pens, especially in middle school and early high school. I don't think 14 year olds are getting tattoos.

You can't lose yourself if you have no "self" to lose.

I'm just so sad right now, I really hope that no one forgets that he existed.

This is what it means to me "The days follow in this direction" The world continues to do this. Fit in to be accepted. To not believe in anything so you won't be hated. To agree with everyone or be told your wrong and stupid. " High-schoolers paint color into their hair " They change their personalities and try to grab attention. Willing to do things like dye their hair and act differently. "Elementary-schoolers paint mud onto their faces " They change how they look at a young age to fit in with what is beautiful. Considering how they look they might think they're fine or ugly. People put on fake hair so it looks longer. Make up or "mud" covers their face so they can think they're beautiful. When they can't tell the colors apart they can't tell people apart. People try to not to be a sore thumb and fit in with trending clothing, hair styles and makeup. In the end they covered up the thing that made them unique. When Middle-schoolers paint color onto their arms they're scarring themselves. They're depressed or suicidal. College students paint color onto their lungs. They're smoking. People can smoke for many reasons so I guess it depends. When they are painted in colors they admit they changed in ways to fit in too. And even you have changed yourself in ways to fit in too. Soon we forget who we really are and think that the changed us is us. Mixing in venomous colors are things that can hurt you. You do things to fit in but they can be things that kill you or change your life in a negative way. A cheery waltz is acting like every is fine and fun when really it's not.

I just found out about Siinamota. I'm sorry for being late. His works are truly wonderful. May he rest in peace.

I still miss you dude

This song its hit me hard.... Im scared of growing up

hit after hit ugh rip king

Ah man.... not another great person... anything but that *cries* R.I.P. PowaPowaP Kitty0706 Monty Oum Iwata

After listening to this song (and all of Siinamota-san's other works), I have to say, we lost a very talented and wonderful person. His songs are all very nice, and although I didn't know of him before this, I wish he were still here. But he's no longer here, so the only connection we can have is through his works.

this may be a small thing, but I realized the sample with the static at 3:03 also plays in one ok rock's "introduction" on their niche album (predates a palette full of you by about 2 years). not sure if it was originally from one ok rock or if it's simply a generic sample from somewhere else, but if it's the former then that means powapowap used to listen to the album, which the themes are about not giving up and pushing through tough times. I know we know powapowap was struggling when he passed, but a little interesting thing I found :(

This song is so sad... ; - ; (but so pretty, the music is really strange but catchy) Myself I don't really want to grow up, and I'm sure I can understand a bit this song and maybe Powapowa-P but to think that it make him commit this... it's so sad I can't even really trust in it... Thank you for all the amazing music you made during those 5-6 years, your style was so unique with a beautiful meaning. May you now rest in peace Mizoguchi Ryou...

aww i love these lyrics, i got really obsessed with "good bye everybody" and i knew he had passed away, and at such an early age. its sad. oi

it's that time of the year again.

I like how this song is deceptively simple at first and then becomes complex and profound

At least the songs will live on...

It's really sad that I never found out about PowapowaP until after he died. I can identify with his songs really well. I can't say I was as deeply affected by his death as others since I haven't known about him for long, but damn, his lyrics really get you thinking. Rest in peace, PowapowaP, and I hope you're in a better place than you were before.

one of my favourite vocaloid songs i hold close to my heart. even after so many years. rest in peace PowaPowaP

Really going to miss PoawpoawP. He was a great producer. Fantastic song. Thanks for the subs

How did I forget about this song ?! It was one of my absolute favourites as a teen

Listening to this after just reaching the tail end of a pretty bad bout of depression hits pretty hard. Siinamota was my favorite vocaloid producer growing up yet as an adult I finally get the meaning of this song

I like how PowaPowa-P create his music like, there's always a distorted part. Rest in peace, Senpai.

How did i accidentally find this song in pjsk and really like it... I JUST MADE MYSELF MORE DEPRESSED SINCE WOWAKA

I am sure I am not the only one who listens to this song countless times in the same session while getting another calm existential crisis

2:44 - 3:21 I like dis part

This comment section is so depressing 😭

3:04 oh, that's it came from. I didn't even know. it makes me sad it came from such a beautiful piece of music ; ~; |R.I.P powapowaP|

while listening to this song I couldn't stop shivering aaaaa

Just a thought but perhaps painting there lungs isn't about smoking. What if it's about how college students paint an image of themselves in words (from their mouth and by association lungs). After all college students tend to be very opinionated. College is a time when people want to color their insides and outsides. People feel like they should have themselves figured out by around that point.

Okay so, after being pretty addicted to this song, 2 theories came up in my mind; 1st theory is about people losing themself. Its basically like people sticking into new trends and things that they basically lose who they REALLY are. "Mixing with venomous colors" is sticking with so many trends and new things is basically losing yourself to stick with everybody else and not get judged, but it still doesnt make you happy. And if you be yourself, you'll get judged. Another thing i wanna add is that they want to be kids once more and have fun, and not be adults struggling with their lives. 2nd theory is about su1c1d3. This theory refers to the line "Noticed, and then met up here!". I noticed in the lyrics the "up here" part and made me think of a theory. So basically, people a bullied due to not sticking with new trends or things which leads to su1c1d3. Then, they meet eachother up in heaven and be happy that they no longer have to suffer. But, they wanted to go back to their old lives, and be kids once again.

This is now one of my favorite songs ever, I was introduced to it by an Omori music video. I love the instrumentals and the lyrics, I actually find myself relating to them because I'm currently in high school (10th grade) and I'm worried about my future. It all seems so uncertain right now, I have a plan in mind what I want to be, but I find it hard to imagine myself as an adult. I have some internal worries that in the future I might not pursue what I'm actually interested in, get some shitty job that I hate, lose my friends, lose my individuality, etc... This song's lyrics are incredibly sad but in some way comforting. RIP Siinamota, amazing composer and person.

How do I keep accidentally finding songs that describe my current mental situation?? I just look for things I think sound good or seem interesting

1:06 Lyrics went hard right here.

Project sekai added 3 songs to remember everything has gone through...rest in peace. Siinamota

Now that I know such a great guy has been lost my heart hurts so much... *so much*

Bringing up the whole see no evil hear no evil and speak no evil, what if the girl in the middle was the evil and they were blocking her. With the whole color mixing, what if the three primary colors and the black all in one person and the person was not going to lose to their inner demons, so they will not look at it, hear it, or speak it to others so they don't have to face it.

i know this song in projeck sekai bro,now this is my new fav song😭😭💖💖

I just realised that at 3:03 to 3:05, it is the exact same noise as 0:15 in Bo Burnham's "rant." song

It's been awhile since I listened to this, my first Powapowa-P song. I forgot this sound, these words..how I felt. It's like coming home. Now I remember what it was I loved about his music. It was this.

Rip PowapowaP

Non pensavo che le sue canzoni avessero un significato cosi profondo in poche parole descrive il mondo che viviamo noi ragazzi Sono molto grata per la tua fantastica musica PowaPowa-P e grazie per aver tradotto questa canzone Coleena

It's been 3 yrs since i find this song, i love this song.

TikTokはあまり好きではないけど、TikTokというアプリがあったおかげでこの曲をもっと多くの人に知ってもらえたことがとても嬉しい。ただ、何も知らずに軽々しく使って欲しくはないなと思ってしまう。

See no evil speak no evil hear no evil do no evil

Siinamota's songs have such a deep meaning in them. . . It's so sad. . .

I remember listening this as a child. Here am I. 5 years later.

Thank you so much for doing this! I purchased an album of his about 1.5 years ago, and this became one of my favorites, but I never found a translation of it... until now! Now seeing the translation, this song has another reason to become a favorite of mine again! It did really make me sad to hear that Powapowa-P took his life. I'm the same age right now myself! It's unbelievable to think about. The best I can do now is continue to enjoy the music he left us with.

its so strange to see some of the comments. i guess people who struggle relate to his works and his death. saddness. i think its hard to be truly happy, but if youre really sad it takes most of you anyway. his songs are truly depressed, really. it reminds of a person trying to cheer themselves up, to avoid thinking about all the bad. im tired of people who are happy and never knew what its like to feel bad, because they joke about me. they think im socially awkward because im weak, not because im always sad. happiness have become a really strange idea for me. everyone should have a little salt in their shoes.

been listening to his songs for almost 4 years and just discovered that his songs are actually based on his feelings and experiences........hope's siinamota's happy up there,,

These lyrics hurt

rest in peace siinamota, I loved his music.

I'm obsessed with this Help

This song really makes loads of sense

After I listened to Shiinamota's song I felt like I was hidden out of nowhere and I also felt lonely too when I was in elementary school until now and then I'm afraid to grow up, but thanks to his efforts I really appreciate the songs he made, I hope he will rest in peace. I really like this song so much all of song

RIP Siinamota :(

I love it. Rest in peace PowapowaP. Bless whatever comes after this life with the music you make. :)

Elementary schoolers paint mud onto their face: -maybe they're playing with mud for fun? -or maybe it means tears? (

3:03 just realized what she was saying there. Ouch.

Found this song right after elementary school. Now I’m going to college and it just hurts different than it did before.

descansa en paz joven siinamota eres grande y siempre te recordaremos R.I.P powapowaP

2:45 D-...DID THEY JUMP OFF THE ROOF!?!?

3:03 that sound is sampled from RANT by Bo Burnham, I commented about that like 2 months ago on the audio version of RANT but it's time I say so here now that I remembered

Quite fitting for the day before my school starts back. Amazing subs as usual, and I'm sorry to hear about PowaPowaP. This song is beautiful.

Wow PowapowaP passed away? That's really sad... His music had that style that is just oh so charming. Rest in peace PowapowaP. Your music always cheered me up when I feel down

This is my favourite song from him, even though I haven't heard many of his.

Yellow: Speak no evil Red: Hear no evil Blue: See no evil

PowaPowaP was and still is a great man :)... Thank you for the translation!

my godd I forgot about this song the last part will always make me cry jsinsnd

man i wish i didn’t open the description, even though that was in 2015 i still got a shockwave through my body :(

Rest In Peace PowaPowaP. I just discovered your music today but even though I don't know your name I'll cry for you. You tried.

I looooove the idea of this song, with all the paint and color metaphors and stuff...

shit. the painting colours in first chorus hits me hard. i have done all those thing. painting mud on my face, dying my hair, paint colour on my hand. and now painting colours on my lungs. all in the same time line. shit.

I never have had a song make me tear up on first listening. Where has this song been all my life??

Good music❤

I am so so sorry

Time decides all, and it is cruel.

もたさぁぁぁぁん

I was here.

Inside out looks great

I wish I know about Powa early (before he passed away) but I guess it too late There no "happen" And no "alive"

Huh, seems he passed on my birthday. Sad I didn't know of him much before his death, though his Strobe songs are some of my favorites, especially Strobe Last.

Sempre tenho que voltar aqui

Thank you for the translations!!

Did anyone else notice how each of the three girls represent the saying "do not speak, hear, or see evil"? For example the blue girl is covering her eyes, the yellow one her mouth, and the red one her ears. Thought that was interesting

내가 좋아하는 노래🥰🥳👏

The best part of me is 2:31 - 3:40

When I first heard “young girl A” it was perfect but now with all the songs to listen to… I just wished I could meet siinamota Fun facts about PowaPowaP His real name is Ryo (I have no idea if that’s his first name or last) He is actually a boy (since he was called siinamota and used vocaloid it’s obvious he can get confused for a girl)

*excessive sobbing*

RIP Siinamota

HOLY SON OF A BISCOTTI THAZ GUD

the more I listen to this song the more I love it....
