downy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
花指の先から
白情な撓りを
相良に見せるんだ
走る俺を嘲笑うように
雨の昼の痛みだ・・・
雨の昼の痛みだ・・・
現は続く・・・
桜の散るは
燃える悲しみだ!
砂を詰めて生きる
絶え絶えの犬っころだ!
あの日の歌で
嵐は過ぎ去った?
雨のみが知る痛みだ・・・
雨のみが知る痛みだ・・・
雨のみが知る痛みだ・・・
雨のみが知る痛みだ・・・
These lyrics from downy's song "弌" convey a sense of melancholy and pain. The overflowing light from the fingertips of a flower's gesture illustrates a delicate and fragile beauty. The bending shape of the white emotion is shown to Arisaka, possibly indicating a vulnerable and soft side of someone. The lyrics mention the mocking laughter of the singer as he runs, as if symbolizing his defiance against the pain of a rainy afternoon. The repetition of "the pain of a rainy afternoon" emphasizes the intensity of this emotional suffering.
The lyrics then transition to a different scene, describing the falling cherry blossoms as a burning sadness. The singer describes himself as a dog on the brink of extinction, barely surviving by stuffing sand. The question is raised, did the storm pass with the song of that day? This can be interpreted as a reflection on whether the emotional turmoil was relieved through the expression of the song. Finally, the repetition of "the pain known only by the rain" suggests that this pain is exclusive to the rainy weather, perhaps symbolizing a specific emotional state or experience.
