Ama No Jaku

The song 'Ama No Jaku' by VOCALOID delves into the complex emotions of unspoken love and the internal conflict that arises from it. The protagonist struggles with feelings they have harbored for a long time, expressing a desire to return to a simpler, platonic relationship if that is what the other person wants. This sentiment is encapsulated in the line, 'If you’re okay with that, then I’m okay with it too,' highlighting the protagonist's willingness to suppress their true feelings for the sake of the other person's comfort.

The lyrics paint a vivid picture of the protagonist's mental state, using metaphors like a 'merry-go-round' to describe their swirling thoughts and the 'downpour of clear skies' to illustrate the contradictory nature of their emotions. The protagonist's internal dialogue reveals a constant battle between wanting to express their love and the fear of rejection or misunderstanding. This is further emphasized by the line, 'The love you gave me is about to spill from my hands; where should I throw it away?' indicating the overwhelming nature of their unreciprocated feelings.

The song also touches on the theme of emotional vulnerability and the difficulty of being honest with oneself and others. The protagonist admits to being a 'coward' who cannot straightforwardly express their feelings, which leads to a sense of stagnation and unfulfilled longing. The repeated imagery of hands unable to hold onto love symbolizes the protagonist's struggle to find a place for their emotions, ultimately leading to a state of waiting and uncertainty. This emotional complexity is a hallmark of VOCALOID's music, which often explores deep and relatable human experiences through its synthetic yet expressive voices.
