Sid's 'Garasu no Hitomi' is a poignant exploration of fragility, love, and the desire to protect someone dear. The song opens with a haunting image of hearing the sound of someone breaking from afar, setting a melancholic tone that permeates the entire piece. This imagery is further deepened by the reflection of a darkened sky on the water's surface, symbolizing the uncertainty and obscurity of the future.
