雨の物語
イルカ Lyrics

The opening lines of the song describe the singer's observation of someone they care about, as they put on makeup and the singer watches on. The image of this person's small back is striking to the singer and causes them to consider their feelings. As rain falls outside, the singer thinks about how it's fitting for this to happen at the end of a story. The second verse continues this theme of storytelling, with the singer thinking about how everyone is drawn in by the emotions in a story's pages. The singer recalls a particular story that was sad, and notes that the rain outside is the same as on the day the sad story was read. The final refrain brings us back to the present, as the rain falling now is likened to many lines of rain clouding the person in question's heart.

The theme of rain and storytelling throughout this song can be interpreted in a number of ways, but one possible interpretation is that it's a reflection on the changing nature of relationships. Rain commonly symbolizes gloom or sadness, which could indicate that the singer's relationship with the person they're thinking of is not in a positive state. The repeated references to "the end of a story" could signify that this relationship is coming to a close, or that the singer feels like it's been resolved in a particular way. At the same time, the emphasis on the act of telling a story can be seen as an attempt to make sense of what has happened - the words on the page, like the lines of rain, can help provide clarity.
