Siam Lights

"Siam (สยาม) was the official name of Thailand until 1939 (though it was briefly used again from 1945 to 1949), and is also the name of a specific area in Bangkok."

Lyrics

 * 1 "I considered two possible translations for this line:
 * “I open the window through which the sky cannot be seen”
 * and
 * “I open the invisible window in the sky”
 * The difference lies in in the sora no mienai mado part, namely whether you should read it with sora no mienai (“can’t see the sky”) modifying mado (“window”), or as the sky having (sora no, “of the sky”) an unseen window (mienai mado).
 * I’ve decided to go with the second version for now, since in “Nurse Cafe” the speaker talks about opening up the sky (sora wo hiraki) in the first verse – the rainbow from that song may even be a reference to the multicolored wind here. The same verse in “Nurse Cafe” happens to mention windows as well. (As lennonhead has pointed out, windows also appear in several other songs, not to mention doors – maybe there’s a connection between the one in “Echoes” and “Nurse Cafe”, for example)."
