I think I know what this is about! :o
Pair the lyrics and the verse from the booklet, which reads
"You, now where are you
My shadow is burned into the wall
In this time traces of the battlefield will be left behind, perhaps
You, now will become dust I, now will become ashes
With a splinter of glass this child's figure
A firefly lives short lily excited
This evening black rain and red sky"
A shadow burned into a wall? In Hiroshima isn't where a stair case with a "shadow" of a person who was caught in the blast of the bomb? Black rain? Didn't it rain black, radioactive rain after the bomb hit? Maybe the explosion is being compared to a firefly’s light. I think there is a woman in this song, too, and it talks of her reunion and a “you” who was on a battlefield and whatnot. Was the woman’s lover a pilot in the war?
I don’t know, maybe I just completely misinterpreted this but after reading the verse the idea popped into my head.
