It Should've Been Raining
Forgiveness Under Stormy Skies: Against the Sun's Emotional Odyssey
Lyrics
Orange bottles litter your bedroom floor
Orange bottles symbolize medication, scattered in the room.
The aftermath of a frantic search to find just one more
Describes a desperate search for one more pill or source of relief.
You fell asleep in your nightgown
Narrates the state of sleep, possibly induced by exhaustion.
But this time, you were worn out
Emphasizes weariness or fatigue at a deeper level.
You never woke up
Suggests a permanent sleep, possibly alluding to death.
You did all you could to block the sunlight
Attempts to avoid brightness or positivity, metaphorically blocking sunlight.
Eyes hollowed from a past that you couldn't let die
Refers to haunted eyes and the lingering impact of a difficult past.
You found peace everyday it rained
Finding peace during rainy days symbolizes solace.
And when the pills took away the pain
Alludes to the numbing effect of pills, relieving pain.
You did the best you could
Acknowledges efforts made despite challenging circumstances.
I forgive you, I forgive you
Expresses forgiveness for past actions.
Even when you were done for good
Recognition of enduring struggles until the end.
I never gave up on you
Stresses unwavering support and commitment.
Time after time you beat yourself half to death
Highlights repeated self-destructive behavior.
And I'd be there to help put you back together again
Offering help and restoration after each episode of self-harm.
I came by to check on you
A visit to check on the person, indicating concern.
But this time it was warm out, when It Should've Been Raining for you
Contrasts warm weather with the expected symbolism of rain during difficult times.
You did the best you could
Reiterates the acknowledgment of trying one's best.
I forgive you, I forgive you
Reaffirms forgiveness despite being misunderstood.
You were so misunderstood
Recognition of the person's complexity and struggles.
I never gave up on you
Reiterates persistent support without giving up.
I even miss the phone calls when you were high as a kite
Nostalgic sentiment about missing even the challenging moments.
Saw your bedpost lamp was off, I knew something wasn't right
Observation of a change in behavior, potentially related to substance use.
I kept banging on your door, there was no answer
Attempt to reach out in a critical moment but receiving no response.
I was too late
Realization of being too late to help or intervene.
You did the best you could
Restates the recognition of doing the best possible.
I forgive you, I forgive you
Reiterates forgiveness, even in the face of a definitive end.
Even when you were done for good
Acknowledges the persistence of support despite the finality of the situation.
I never gave up on you
Reaffirms unwavering commitment and support.
You did the best you could
Repeats the acknowledgment of trying one's best.
I forgive you, I forgive you
Reiterates forgiveness, even when the person was not at their best.
Even when you were no good
Recognizes the person's flaws and mistakes.
I never gave up on you
Finalizes the commitment to support, never giving up despite challenges.
