Watashi Wa Ame

Sid's song 'Watashi Wa Ame' delves into the complex emotions of loneliness, nostalgia, and unspoken gratitude. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of someone searching for a sense of belonging and connection, much like a child looking for a four-leaf clover. The protagonist feels invisible, as if their absence would go unnoticed in the bustling city. This sense of isolation is further emphasized by the recurring motif of the weather forecast being wrong, symbolizing the unpredictability and uncontrollability of their emotional state.

The song's chorus reflects a poignant mix of gratitude and regret. The protagonist acknowledges that they never got to say 'thank you' to someone important, a sentiment that lingers and haunts them. This unspoken gratitude is a heavy burden, one that they carry alone as they navigate through memories and emotions. The imagery of the beach and the waves not carrying away their memories suggests a deep-seated attachment to the past, one that they cannot easily let go of.

The repeated references to feeling like a 'stray cat' highlight the protagonist's sense of abandonment and lack of a place to call home. They seek solace in alcohol, yet even that fails to numb their pain. The plea for someone to come and stay by their side, even if just for a moment, underscores their desperate need for human connection and comfort. The song ends on a note of resignation, with the protagonist accepting their solitary journey but still yearning for a simple, yet profound, companionship.
