Here Comes The Rain
Redemption in Rain: A Soul's Confession
Lyrics
When I was a younger man
Reflecting on the speaker's past when he was younger.
I made some mistakes that I had to live with
Acknowledging and living with mistakes made in the past.
But no one ever understands
Expressing frustration at a lack of understanding from others.
That I never got the chance to get through this
Regret for not having the chance to overcome challenges.
My life's been a winding one way street
Describing a turbulent and unidirectional life journey.
Full of one night stands and bar room seats
Narrating a life filled with brief connections and bar experiences.
The devil's railroad I’ve been on for some time
Metaphorically referring to a challenging and sinful path.
Maybe I should walk the line
Contemplating the idea of taking a different, more virtuous path.
Lord why’d I always take it too far
Questioning personal tendencies to push boundaries.
I'm ready to tell you what my secrets are
Expressing readiness to reveal personal secrets and struggles.
As I'm sitting alone at the end of this bar saying my prayers
Praying and contemplating life's challenges at a bar.
Some Tennessee whiskey helps to numb the pain
Seeking solace in Tennessee whiskey to ease emotional pain.
No matter what I do I feel the same
Expressing a sense of stagnation and emotional numbness.
Wake up in the morning tryna break these chains
Struggling to break free from emotional constraints.
Here comes the rain
Anticipating and acknowledging difficult times (symbolized by rain).
As I lie awake at night
Describing sleepless nights filled with contemplation.
I picture it all as I'm tossing and turning
Imagining the consequences of past actions while unable to sleep.
If only I could see the light
Expressing a desire to find a positive way out of difficulties.
But the candle at both ends is a burning
Metaphorically referring to burning the candle at both ends (overextending oneself).
Lord why’d I always take it too far
Repeating the theme of pushing personal limits and regretting it.
I'm ready to tell you what my secrets are
Expressing readiness to share personal struggles with a higher power.
As I'm sitting alone at the end of this bar saying my prayers
Praying and reflecting on life's challenges at a bar.
Some Tennessee whiskey helps to numb the pain
Turning to Tennessee whiskey as a coping mechanism.
No matter what I do I feel the same
Reiterating a feeling of emotional stagnation.
Wake up in the morning tryna break these chains
Struggling to break free from emotional constraints (repeated theme).
Here comes the rain
Repeating the anticipation of challenging times (symbolized by rain).
If I could just go back in time I'd fix it all
Expressing a desire to go back in time and rectify mistakes.
And you'd pick up the phone whenever I call
Wishing for a renewed connection and communication with someone.
Lord why’d I always take it too far
Repeating the theme of personal tendencies leading to regret.
I'm ready to tell you what my secrets are
Expressing readiness to disclose personal struggles.
As I'm sitting alone at the end of this bar saying my prayers
Praying and reflecting on life's challenges at a bar (repeated theme).
Some Tennessee whiskey helps to numb the pain
Turning to Tennessee whiskey as a means of solace (repeated theme).
No matter what I do I feel the same
Reiterating a feeling of emotional stagnation (repeated theme).
Wake up in the morning tryna break these chains
Struggling to break free from emotional constraints (repeated theme).
Here comes the rain
Anticipating and acknowledging challenging times symbolized by rain (repeated theme).
