Rain (Full Size)

The song 'Rain (Full Size)' by Fullmetal Alchemist delves into the emotional turmoil and the quest for solace amidst life's relentless challenges. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a person grappling with the harsh realities of life, symbolized by the persistent rain. This rain represents the continuous struggles and emotional pain that the protagonist faces, questioning why these hardships seem to choose them specifically. The cold and unending rain metaphorically illustrates the prolonged period of suffering and the feeling of being trapped with no escape.

The song also explores themes of isolation and the longing for connection. The protagonist reflects on past relationships and the warmth they once provided, now feeling distant and unattainable. The mention of '六月の嘘 目の前の本当' (June's lies, the truth before my eyes) suggests a disillusionment with the past and a struggle to reconcile with the present reality. The protagonist's internal conflict is further highlighted by the line '向かう先は「次」じゃなくて 過ぎ」ばかり追いかけた' (The destination is not 'next' but always chasing the 'past'), indicating a fixation on what has been lost rather than moving forward.

Despite the overwhelming sense of despair, there is a glimmer of hope and the possibility of healing. The imagery of a 'new morning' and the gentle act of offering an umbrella symbolize the potential for comfort and support. The protagonist's journey is one of seeking understanding and warmth, even as they navigate through the relentless storm. The song ultimately suggests that while the rain may not cease, finding moments of connection and solace can provide the strength to endure and heal.
