Sakura To Ame

In 'Sakura To Ame' by deadman 死人, the lyrics paint a vivid picture of fleeting beauty and the inevitable sorrow that accompanies it. The song opens with imagery of chains dragging feet and moving clouds, suggesting a sense of entrapment and the passage of time. Despite this, there is a universal belief in happiness, perhaps a societal expectation that everyone should be content. The playful, mischievous blue wind represents fleeting moments of joy and dreams that are always just out of reach.

The song delves deeper into the absence of kindness, with the cold rain symbolizing an overwhelming sense of despair. The rain is so cold that it stifles any warmth or comfort, encapsulating the feeling of being enveloped in an inescapable sadness. This is further emphasized by the imagery of flowers scattering in the pouring tears, signifying the loss of beauty and joy. The smile of a loved one is also breaking apart, indicating the profound impact of this sorrow on personal relationships.

The final lines highlight the helplessness in protecting even the ones we love. The single drop falling through the gaps in the trees and the countless petals that fall represent the continuous and inevitable nature of loss. The song beautifully captures the transient nature of life and love, much like the sakura (cherry blossoms) that bloom brilliantly but briefly, only to be washed away by the rain. This poignant reflection on the impermanence of happiness and the enduring presence of sorrow resonates deeply, making 'Sakura To Ame' a hauntingly beautiful piece.
