“RENAISSANCE” is a song by Utsu-P, released on August 12, 2019, as the opening and title track of the album RENAISSANCE.

The words recited detail a decaying society, but with an almost hopeful “if there is people, there is intention” and repetition of the word “Renaissance”

The song is very short, at 59 seconds long. It acts as an intro track to the album. Beginning with piano notes and repetition of the phrase “renaissance”. at 13 seconds, strings begin to join the song. they're soon followed by drums. The song ends by stripping the song back to how it started, with just the piano chords and a last repeat of “renaissance”.

油だらけの海　灰だらけの大地
砂だらけの農耕地帯　砂だらけの商業都市

錆びた車が限界集落を走る。
疲れ切った同胞が眠っている。
腹ごなしに果物を半切れ齧る。
昼なのに暗く、まるで棺の中だ。
何もかも無くなったが、ここにはまだ人がいる。
人がいれば意思がある。
意思があれば

Renaissance

Aburadarake no umi haidarake no daichi
Sunadarake no noukou chitai sunadarake no shougyou toshi

Sabita kuruma ga genkai shuuraku o hashiru
Sukarekitta douhou ga nemutte iru
Haragonashi ni kudamono o han kire kajiru.
Hirunanoni kuraku, marude kan no nakada
Nanimokamo nakunatta ga, koko ni wa mada hito ga iru
Hito ga ireba ishi ga aru
Ishi ga areba

Renaissance

An ocean polluted with oil, A land polluted with ash
Agricultural fields filled with sand, Commercial cities filled with sand

A rusted car driving through a marginal village.
My exhausted companions are resting.
I nibble on half a piece of fruit to stave off my hunger.
Noon gets dark, as if we were in a coffin.
Everything is gone, but there are still people here.
If there are people, If there is intention.
If there is intention
