雨
Boris Lyrics

The song 雨 by Boris is a beautiful and poignant song that covers various themes like longing, sadness, and introspection. The first few lines "Sora wo mitsumete wa, sottou zumaru" translates to "I look up at the sky and cower" which sets a melancholic tone. The next verse speaks about placing a stone on the right hand and burying the sky. The act of burying the sky can be seen as a metaphor for trying to escape one's emotions or distancing oneself from a certain reality. The lyrics “kono doshaburi no hallelujah", which means "this downpour's hallelujah'' refers to the artist's experience of the overwhelming nature of life and the false comforts and consolations that we use to avoid confronting its harsh realities.

The verse "kano ni utae ta kaze, kami no sukima wo nuketa, sono shittori wo ubatte” translates to "The wind I sang to him, slipped through my hair, and stole that droplet" which is a poetic way of saying that a part of a loved one stays with us even when they are not there, and we try to hold on to it or remember it. The lines "ikutsu mono zurusa wo, tsumou to shite, itsu oeru to shirezu, ikusae ni mo zurasu" means that accumulated lies and half-truths keep stacking up, and one is never sure when it would get too much to bear.
The chorus, "kurou mui jikan ga sugi, hitomi no oku moeru mabushi sa, rin to tataetta" = "Endless hours pass by, the burning brilliance in my eyes flickering and trembling" shows how time stands still when we are suffering, and even the brightest of things lose their sheen.

Overall, the song talks about the pain and emptiness that people go through, and how we try to find meaning in tears and rain as they provide a momentary escape from the mundane.
