Rainy Day
Embracing Rainy Days: Finding Solace and Longing
Lyrics
Whenever it's a rainy day
Expressing a tendency to face emotional challenges on rainy days.
I pack my troubles up in my room
Retreating to a personal space (room) to deal with troubles.
I chase all the clouds away
Actively dispelling negativity and troubles associated with cloudy emotions.
I get myself back to the womb
Metaphorically returning to a comforting or secure place (womb) for solace.
But I know that you're gonna cry
Acknowledging the inevitability of the listener's emotional response.
Tears are runnin' from your eyes
Observing tears streaming from the listener's eyes, indicating emotional distress.
The piece of my life you take
Recognizing a part of the singer's life being taken by the listener.
Is one that so often breaks
Highlighting the vulnerability of the shared aspect of life that often experiences hardships.
Whenever you are miles away
Reflecting on the emotional impact of physical distance.
I think of you the way you are
Recalling the distant person in their true and unaltered form.
Your shining lips, your auburn hair
Describing specific features of the distant person (shining lips, auburn hair).
And then it don't seem quite so far
Suggesting that thinking of these details diminishes the perceived distance.
Well I know that you're gonna cry
Reiterating the expectation of the listener's emotional response.
Tears are runnin' from your eyes
Repeating the image of tears, reinforcing emotional distress.
The piece of my life you take
Reiterating the theme of the listener taking a part of the singer's vulnerable life.
Is one that so often breaks
Emphasizing the fragility of the shared aspect of life that is frequently broken.
Well I know that you're gonna cry
Affirming the anticipation of the listener's emotional reaction.
Tears are runnin' from your eyes
Restating the image of tears as a prominent symbol of emotional pain.
The piece of my life you take
Reiterating the idea of the listener taking a part of the singer's delicate life.
Is one that so often breaks
Underlining the frequency with which the shared life aspect encounters challenges.
