Lyrics
Footsteps in the dust of
Reflecting on past experiences, symbolized by footsteps in a desolate area.
A wasteland trailing back
Recalling a journey through a barren land, possibly filled with challenges.
To a prison I’d rather leave a
Expressing a desire to escape from a prison-like situation in memory.
Memory a thought of yesterday
Nostalgia for the past, viewing it as a mere thought of yesterday.
Then raindrops like
Anticipating raindrops as a metaphorical cleansing element.
Bullets in a black sky start falling
Describing raindrops falling like bullets in a dark sky.
Slowly breaking away the mess I’ve
Slowly overcoming the mess or mistakes made in the past.
Made wash away my yesterday
Seeking redemption through the metaphorical washing away of yesterday's actions.
I can feel this rain down the
Sensing the rain on the back, indicating a profound impact on the individual.
Back of my body, falling hard
Feeling the intensity of the rain on the body.
Every drop is just like a brick that’s
Each raindrop likened to a brick, symbolizing the weight of the emotional impact.
Breaking me washing away my yesterday
Experiencing the process of breaking and cleansing through the rain.
As the water gets
Not specified
High I can see it in the black sky
Observing the rising water level and impending change in the sky.
It’s gonna take a flood to wash
Recognizing the need for a significant event, a flood, to wash away mistakes.
Away the mess I’ve made but
Accepting the necessity of a flood to cleanse the accumulated mess.
If that’s what it’s gotta take
Understanding the severity of the situation and being willing to face it.
Then Lord bring the rain
Expressing readiness for a cleansing rain, seeking spiritual renewal.
I can’t tell between the
Unable to distinguish between rain and personal tears.
Rain and my teardrops
Being emotionally overwhelmed, tears merging with the rain.
Drowning me slow until I finally let
Gradually surrendering to the emotional release, letting go.
It go let the water
Allowing the water to take away the essence of the soul.
Take my soul then suddenly I’m
Experiencing a transformative moment on one's knees.
On my knees realizing, if
Realizing the significance of drowning as a metaphor for living authentically.
Drowning means I’m breathing for
Associating drowning with a meaningful, authentic existence.
The very first time
Welcoming pain as a precursor to growth, a willingness to face challenges.
I welcome the pain i’m begging for the rain!
Actively seeking the cleansing and transformative power of rain.
I can feel this rain down the
Reiterating the impact of rain on the body, emphasizing its intensity.
Back of my body, falling hard
Feeling the powerful force of raindrops, akin to bricks breaking the self.
Every drop is just like a brick that’s
Continuing the metaphor of raindrops as agents of personal transformation.
Breaking me washing away my yesterday
Undergoing a process of breaking and cleansing through the rain.
As the water gets
Not specified
High I can see it in the black sky
Observing the impending flood in the dark sky.
It’s gonna take a flood to wash
Understanding the necessity of a flood to cleanse the accumulated mess.
Away the mess I’ve made but
Accepting the severity of the situation and being prepared for the consequences.
If that’s what it’s gotta take
Expressing readiness for a cleansing rain, seeking spiritual renewal.
Then Lord bring the rain
