After the Rain
Embracing Change: Evolving Through Life's Storms
Lyrics
Nobody gets out of here alive
Nobody escapes death; everyone eventually dies.
All the idiots love another rock ’n’ roll suicide
People who lack understanding appreciate another act of self-destructive behavior in rock 'n' roll culture.
Step into the light and let it go, let it go
Embrace exposure to truth and let go of inhibitions.
You'll be looking at a new man
Transformation occurs, and you'll witness a changed person.
After the show
The change is particularly noticeable after a performance or event.
So what if i'm not drinking anymore?
The speaker questions the significance of abstaining from alcohol.
Got sick of picking my body up off the floor
Tired of dealing with the aftermath of excessive drinking.
Got sick of finding diamonds in your eyes,
Disillusioned with discovering beauty in someone's eyes.
In your eyes
Specifically, the beauty in the other person's eyes.
I'll be looking for a new man
Seeking a new identity amid deception.
Between the lies
Deception is pervasive, and the speaker is navigating through lies.
It’s not hard to see the good in you
Finding positivity and virtue in the other person.
You see the broken parts of me
Mutual understanding of each other's flaws.
You say the light is streaming through
Acknowledging the positive influence of the other person.
You've so many way to say
There are numerous ways to express what is difficult to articulate.
What I barely explain away
Struggling to convey certain emotions or experiences.
You'll be looking at a new man
Similar to line 5, emphasizing a transformed self next to the other person.
Here beside you
The change is observable when close to the other person.
Someday our harvest is bound to fail
Anticipating a future where efforts and accomplishments might crumble.
Everything we built together just hanging by a nail
The fragility of the shared endeavors becoming apparent.
Our river used to wind its way
Reflecting on a past when things flowed smoothly.
Down from the valley into the plain
The serene progression disrupted, indicating difficulties.
You'll be looking at a new man
Reiteration of personal transformation, this time post-challenge.
After the rain
Emphasizing the change that follows a metaphorical storm.
You'll be looking at a new man
Repeating the idea of a changed self after facing adversity.
After the rain
Highlighting the transformative effect of overcoming hardships.
