The visual novel Hatsuyuki Sakura has 3 opening themes, namely "freak of
nature: start" by I've, "Presto" by Kotoko, and "Hesitation Snow" by fripSide.
The latter two have lyrics and a lot of images, so it's pretty easy to tell
roughly what they're supposed to mean (basically, they're standard VN OP
sequences).

However, the first is just vocalized, with very few character images (mostly
just scenery), and thus it's hard to interpret exactly what it's supposed to
mean. It plays very early in the novel (i.e. after 3 days, which is just the
beginning of the prologue), and at that point the story really hasn't been
established at all yet.

What symbolic connection does this song have to the novel? Is it supposed to
mean anything, or just set a certain mood? Also, what is the significance of
the title "freak of nature: start" to the novel?
