Violet UK

There are various Violet UK songs floating around in cyber space, many of them are fake though. Here is a list of the songs and their lyrics (they are not hundred percent accurate!) that surfaced or Yoshiki released on purpose to the public:

Blind Dance
First song to ever appear from Violet UK. It was used for the 711 Commercials. Some guy just recorded it during the shooting of the commercial and put it up for download on the internet. You can actually hear voices in the background of the recording. This song is sung by Daughter.

The lyrics:

I will kiss your eyes
In this senseless night
If it's true or not
I just want you to cry

Try to close your mind
See the blinds (lines?) in there
If it's blue or not
Can you picture my mind

Try to close your mind
See the blinds (lines?) in there
If it's blue or not
Can you picture my mind

I will kiss your eyes
In this senseless night
If it's blue or not
Can you picture my mind

.


Blue And Blind
Is a demo version that got released on yoshiki.net (for people who joined the fanclub).

The lyrics:

If you would love her
Call the angels down to earth
Tell them what you see
A brother’s handing by the flair
You feel love
Lust burned in a candle
Hold it to your heart

Don’t you remember
What you love is what you hate
Nothing’s what it seems
Love’s tender make you blue and hard
You feel love
You’re walking in a circle
You know by no reason
There’s no way to know if it’s more than you can handle
Cause love takes no less back

Everything’s turning to be free from the start
If I let it be
It takes no prisoners
I don’t know if we lost forever
But it never sets me free

Show me your desire
Do you wish for the rain
From when we were together
Tell me how you feel
It makes my life
It’s even harder

Do I wish for the rain
Oh when we were together
I’ll tell you how I feel
Because the life is even harder

It’s more than I need
Flowing like a river
Cause noone could love you

Everything’s is failing is falling
You’re prisnored
When I kiss my highs
I see you clearly
If I could make this love forever
I may find a way

You gave this my lover
Still keeps the life in fading hand
Lost in carrying on
Without your wish without your word
It’s driving me crazy
You know by no reason
It keeps me in a circle

There’s no place to be
Away from the vicious circle
Cause love takes no less back
Everything’s turning to be free from the start
If I let it feel
It takes no prisoners
I don’t know if we lost forever
But it never sets me free

Unnamed Song

Yoshiki presented this song first live in concert in December 2002. A live recording of this song can be found on the "Yoshiki Symphonic Concert" DVD (visit the discography section, to get further details). He also performed the song live on "Hey Hey Hey" a japanese television show, on the 30th May 2005. Sung by Daughter.

The lyrics:

I'm standing on the edge
And coming to my senses from my reverie
Never thought I would
Never thought I'd need to
Say goodbye I bid you farewell
My voiceless words are swaying a flame

I can't live without
I can't live without
I can't live without you
Here in the dark
I whisper your name over again
Give me the strength to seize the light
If I should find a way
I saw a dream you were flying in the sky
Without a fear
Never touched the ground
But never came to my side
I tried so hard to reach out for your hand
The ruthless wind kept your soul away

I can't live without
I can't give without
I can't breathe without you
Here in the world
Do you feel the rain
You said love takes no pain
With or without the sun
The lurid sky is still tearing me apart

Will she let freedome reign over the pain
Give me the strength to believe the words that love will find a way
I can't live without
I can't give without you
Here in the world
Do you feel the rain over the pain
Give me the strength to believe the words that love will find a way
With or without the sun
I'll be and I won't say goodbye cause I...
I know I'll be with you

Sex & Religion

The official Release Date of Violet UK was on the 22nd September 2005. (Note that X Japan disbanded on the 22nd September 1997.) The "release" of Violet UK started in another way as expected. Instead of releasing a CD, you could (and still can in fact) download a test mix of "Sex And Religion" on Itunes Japan. The song went straight to #1 in the Itune Charts. Which is a HUGE success because nobody knew about it. The news just spread over the internet. Mouth to mouth sometimes still works the best. ;-)

A newer version (a clip of it) is available on Yoshiki's myspace account. Sung by Natalie.

The lyrics (note that rome could also be "roam"):

Getting high to match the low, but I can’t get enough satisfaction
Play with me and fly with me, I’m addicted to you like sex and religion
The higher and higher we get , the further, further we'll be falling
Maybe birds are meant to be; baby, are our feelings supposed to be in a cage

Where is the sun that led me to rome, it’s swirled away
Whether it’s real, or truth in a dream, it’s still pointing my mind

Drowning deep in the dark, eternal roses evoke temptation
Come to me and come with me, into the unknown, beyond this illusion
The harder and harder you fight, the deeper, deeper you get sucked in
Maybe, maybe it’s time to surrender, to this lust

Where is the sun that led me to rome, it’s swirled away
Wheter it’s real, or truth in a dream, it’s still pointing my mind

The higher you get, the further you’ll be falling, maybe it’s the end
baby let’s get to the end, where everything starts new


Whether it's love or lost blinds veil of love
Just come as you are, and lose yourself, among faith, sex in the distance to shine
Where is the sun that led me to rome, it’s still fucking my mind

Mary Mona Lisa

Yoshiki posted a clip of this song on his myspace account. Just visit the site to give it a listen. Vocalist is Katie Fitzgerald

The lyrics:

I love the way Mona Lisa smiles
Smiles like an angel before your eyes
Gathering life's roses inside
Sings to the death of the shadow flame
Seems to the dance of a shadow flame

It seems forever
Her loving face
But everybody hurts
She hides in tears
September rain falls into me
Like Mary's tears it hurts my heart
Love is on the way
It's going to clear
Clear the clouds away
No need to fake a smile

She's got the graze like...

.


Screaming Blue

Yoshiki presented this song first live in concert in December 2002. A live recording of this song can be found on the "Yoshiki Symphonic Concert" DVD (visit the discography section, to get further details). Vocalist is Daughter.

The lyrics (partly):

If I fly over the blue sky to see you
Will you smile and cover the world with white gold
If I fought, follow to the clouds
Will you catch me there cause I see nothing but you and blue

Will you catch me there cause I see nothing but you and blue
Sweet blue
Cause I see nothing can make me miss you less

I'll Be Your Love

I'll Be Your Love, sung by Dahlia was the official theme for the EXPO 2005 in Japan. The english verison of this song is sung by Nicole. It is not clear if this title is part of the Violet UK project.

The lyrics:

I'll be your love
Anata e no ai o chigau
Afureteku omoi o

Fuanya mayoi ni kokoro ga yureru
Akirame kaketa toki ni
Ashita mo utau
Soredemo mae ni mukatte susumu

Tadori tsukeruyo, shinjireba kitto
Yume to ai ga tomo ni ikiru

I'll be your love

Aruite iku kono michi ni

Time passes by
And life will never be the same
But don't let your dream fall to the ground
Don't let your pain take over the sky
Because there is a tomorrow
And I'll be there to love you

Lyrics from the english version:

I’ll be your love
I’ll never make you feel, feel alone
If yours to die, blindfold your eyes
I’ll bring you to my world

There’s a time, you feel like you’re lost
Feel the night will never end, through the daybreak
It’s hard to hold on, but there is tomorrow
Brings you to your senses, as the sun will make it’s way
You’ll make it there to the place
Where reality and dreams and love will be together
I’ll keep the life from fading
If the clouds lined your way and the wind sprays your faith

I’ll be your love, I’ll be your light
I’ll never make you feel, feel alone
If yours to die, blindfold your eyes
I’ll bring you to my world
Let me see you smile

Don’t you cry over the past, somedays might be gray and weiry
Not easy to live, to live and be heard
Til the rain stops in silence, I’ll be there to hold your heart
I’ll be with you
Til you find a reason for love
We’re taking for granted
W
e’ll keep the time from fading as the world is here to stay
Your hope is deeper than day

I’ll be your love, I’ll be your light
I’ll never make you feel, feel alone
If yours to die, blindfold your eyes
I’ll bring you to my world

If you would believe
Believe in the world
Of vision, of love
And the strenght inside your heart
You’ll find a way

I’ll be your love, I’ll be your light
I’ll never make you feel, feel alone
If yours to die, blindfold your eyes
I’ll bring you to my world

I’ll be your love, I’ll be your light
I’ll never make you feel, feel alone

Lyrics excerpt :

The city of angels
Can you hold my heart tonight
Cause everything seems broken
Which I'm not too far away from

.

 

Blue Butterfly

This piece is the main title of the horror movie "Catacombs". Sung by Nina Bergman, released early 2007.

Lyrics excerpt:

Do you see the blue butterfly
Flying around and sucking the sweet out
It’s in your blood
As flowers craving the sun
In a vice it’s drawing you closer

Under the burning sky the narcotic sun
I cast my shadow in to the will of god
You wanna follow, you wanna swallow
You ‘re poisoned from the dark side sweetest love

.

This song appeared during the end credits for the movie "Repo The Genetic Opera" (to read more about this project from Yoshiki click here). Vocals by Katie Fitzgerald.

Lyrics excerpt :

Sweet heart are you feeling closer
Close to the line high above the sky
Or is it better from it’s distance
To see it clear
To deal with your fear
That you hold inside
Is the devil you scream
God what life you leave behind
Still forcing yourself to bear your cross

.

 

Rosa

Rosa is the main theme of the movie Goemon, released in 2009, vocalist is Katie Fitzgerald.

Lyrics:

Feeling the wind blowing from the sea
Caressing my skin with its breaths
To tracem y memories carved in the sand
I’d be crawling at the bottom of the ocean
Kiss me softly in the daydream
Love’s undressing the sky
Of suicide blue
Embrace it’s beauty lost in the steam
The stream of the clouds still blinding my eyes
Will you wipe my tears
If you are the rain
Will you dry my face
If you are the wind
That’s swaying roses
Spreading the red
Into the sky that’ll veil
And close my eyes
I still see your smile
I feel so lonely without your love
I bury myself in the sea of the dark side
When I become the wind
I’ll fly across the sky
And whisper the scream
Into the seam between two worlds
The once we breathe
And the one we dream
When the love turns into ashes
Will it survive with all it’s senses
Or will it die before it’s life ever lives
Still feeling th earth beneath my feet
Letting the world suck my soul
I feel so dirty to believe in
Believe in myself and a phantom of the new sky
Will you wipe my tears
If you are the rain
Will you dry my face
If you are the wind
That’s swaying roses
Spreading the red
Into the sky that’ll veil
And close my eyes
But I still see your smile
