Rainy Reflections: Seeking Redemption in George Riley's 'Cleanse Me'
Lyrics
Now, now the rains have came
Reflection on the arrival of rainy times
Where will we go from here
Pondering the direction to take in the current situation
I remember sunny days
Nostalgia for happier moments in the past
Now the rain washes my tears away
Rain symbolically washing away emotional pain
Come again and we can play the same game
Invitation to revisit past experiences or relationships
If you want it to end the same way
Acknowledgment that outcomes may repeat if choices are the same
I remember sunny days
Recollection of positive memories contrasted with the present
Now the rain washes my tears away
Continuation of the theme of emotional cleansing through rain
Come again and we can play the same game
Reiteration of the invitation to repeat past experiences
If you want it to
Suggesting a choice in how things conclude
End the same way
Emphasizing the potential repetition of outcomes
So come
Encouragement or invitation
Cleanse, cleanse (cleanse me) me
Expression of a desire to be cleansed, possibly emotionally
Cleanse me
Repetition of the plea for cleansing
Cleanse me
Further emphasis on the need for cleansing
I want to predict
Desire to make predictions about the future
But I’m too weak to change it
Admission of personal weakness hindering the ability to change
Gwarn be self-righteous
Encouragement to adopt a self-righteous attitude
Gwarn live your life like this
Suggestion to live life with a particular mindset
Give it purpose
Advising to give life a purpose
Remember me
A plea to be remembered
Me, oooh
Repetition for emphasis
Don’t erase it
Request not to erase something, especially if it is useful
If it’s useful
Suggesting that certain memories or experiences may be beneficial
It confuse you
Recognition that some things may be confusing
Don’t bruise you
Assurance not to harm or hurt
Ooooooh
Expressive interjection
Confuse you
Reiteration of the commitment not to cause confusion
Don’t bruise you
Reiteration of the commitment not to cause harm or hurt
Cleanse, cleanse (cleanse me) me
Repetition of the plea for cleansing
Cleanse me
Further emphasis on the need for cleansing
Cleanse me
Reiteration of the plea for cleansing
