Raining in Baltimore
Searching for Solace: Allison Crowe's Rainy Reflections
Lyrics
This circus is falling down on its knees
The situation or environment is collapsing and facing significant problems.
The big top is crumbling down
The main attraction or center of attention is falling apart.
It's raining in Baltimore fifty miles east
It's raining in Baltimore, symbolizing a sense of sadness or hardship, possibly where the person addressed should be.
Where you should be, no one's around
The intended person is absent from where they are expected to be.
I need a phone call
The speaker desires communication or connection, potentially seeking support or comfort.
I need a raincoat
The speaker seeks protection or a shield against the metaphorical 'rain' or difficulties.
I need a big love
Desire for a significant or profound love.
I need a phone call
Reiterating the need for communication or connection.
These train conversations are passing me by
Feeling disconnected from conversations or interactions happening around them.
And I don't have nothing to say
Feeling a lack of contribution or meaningful input in discussions.
You get what you pay for
Suggests the consequence of receiving what one pays for, implying dissatisfaction.
But I just had no intention of living this way
Not intending to live in the current unsatisfactory manner.
I need a phone call
Reiterating the need for communication or connection.
I need a plane ride
Desiring a change in environment, seeking to move away.
I need a sunburn
Desiring exposure to warmth or different experiences.
I need a raincoat
Desiring protection from difficulties or hardships.
And I get no answers
Expressing a lack of solutions or resolutions to problems.
And I don't get no change
Feeling stagnant or unchanged despite external circumstances.
It's raining in Baltimore, baby
Reiterating the feeling of sadness or hardship in Baltimore.
But everything else is the same
Despite external changes, the internal situation remains unchanged.
There's things I remember and things I forget
Recollection of both remembered and forgotten aspects, missing the person addressed.
I miss you
Expressing longing or yearning for the person who is far away.
I guess that I should
Recognizing the naturalness of missing the person despite the distance.
Three thousand five hundred miles away
Highlighting the significant physical distance between the speaker and the person they miss.
But what would you change if you could?
Ruminating on the potential for change if circumstances were different.
I need a phone call
Reiterating the need for communication or connection.
Maybe I should buy a new car
Contemplating a change in material possessions to possibly improve the situation.
I can always hear a freight train
Hearing familiar sounds, seeking comfort in the familiar.
If I listen real hard
Wishing for a smaller, more interconnected world, feeling isolated in larger settings.
And I wish it was a small world
Longing for familiarity or connection in larger, potentially lonely environments.
Because I'm lonely for the big towns
Desire to experience the vibrancy and connectedness of larger cities.
I'd like to hear a little guitar
Craving the soothing sounds of music to alleviate loneliness.
I think it's time to put the top down
Considering a change or openness to new experiences.
I need a phone call
Reiterating the need for communication or connection.
I need a raincoat
Reiterating the need for protection or shield against difficulties.
