春はあけぼの ほの白き夢の中
筆先に咲いた 誰にも見えぬこいぶみ
鏡の中の横顔 茶の髪を隠すように
言葉だけが わたしの化粧だった
「美しい」とは 見た目じゃない
推しの君に 捧げる才とまごころ
夜のとばりに 仕掛ける暗号
読める人だけ 心を重ねる
定子さま あなたの笑みに
この魂すべて 差し出した
まことの優しさ その気配だけで
千年先まで 伝えたいのです
枕の言葉 それが私の全て
恋は「知」の戯れ（たわむれ） 藤原のやりとり
一文字で伝う 恋心と敬意の合間
「にくたらしい」と毒を吐いても
心の奥に 寂しさが灯ってた
誰にも言えぬ孤独の午後
「書く」ことだけが 生きる証
紫の影に 責められても
残したかった あの春の記憶
あなたと見た 夜明けの空に
「をかし」の花びら 舞い上がる
この草子に 命を込めて
言の葉だけが 時代を越えてく
枕の言葉 それが私の祈り

The Pillow Book
USAP
Inspired by The Pillow Book by Sei Shonagon, a celebrated literary figure of Japan's Heian period,
"Words Upon a Pillow" is a poetic Japanese ballad brought to life with the breathy, graceful vocals of Hatsune Miku.
Blending traditional instruments like koto and shakuhachi with lo-fi ambient textures, the song reflects the hidden emotions, elegant romance, and refined sorrow of court life a thousand years ago.
Sei Shonagon's coded expressions of love, her loyalty to Empress Teishi, and the ephemeral beauty of Heian aesthetics are reimagined through this modern soundscape.
