Child in the Rain
Child in the Rain: Exploring Nature's Reflections in Human Emotions
Lyrics
I was just asking for some understanding
Expressing a need for comprehension or empathy
Where the wall reaches the sea
Describing a boundary where land meets the sea
Just crying at the candid line
Emotionally affected by a straightforward statement
That tore my heart from me
A painful experience that deeply affected the speaker
Satisfied to be your lover, holding on to you
Content with being someone's romantic partner and holding on to that relationship
I was beginning to forget all of the loves I never knew
Forgetting past loves due to the current relationship
Flat on my back against the falling tree
Lying down near a falling tree
I'm hovering over the ravine
Feeling suspended over a deep gap or abyss
Still full of everything I tried to say
Unable to communicate thoughts effectively
New canyons spilling out of me
Metaphorically expressing emotions like new canyons forming
I see you everytime I close my eyes
Constantly seeing a particular person in their mind
Child in the rain, running through the forest, laughing
Imagining a child joyfully playing in the rain in a forest
You're not mourning the rebellion of putting up a house
The child in the rain isn't concerned about societal expectations or norms
Or the joy of having children or even just a spouse
Not focused on traditional milestones like marriage or family
You're just contemplating fire, you say you're not afraid
Contemplating fire without fear
You say the conflagrations holy the resetting of the day
Seeing destruction as a part of a natural cycle or renewal
You're saying I should listen to it
Encouraging the speaker to pay attention and heed advice
Sit down and really listen to it, sit down
Emphasizing the need to actively listen and understand
Flat on my back against the falling tree
Repeating the imagery of lying under a falling tree
I'm hovering over the ravine
Continuing the feeling of being suspended over a deep gap
Still full of everything I tried to say
Struggling to articulate thoughts and emotions
New canyons spilling out of me
Intense emotions pouring out like a new landscape
I see you everytime I close my eyes
Continuing to vividly see the mentioned person when eyes are closed
Child in the rain, running through the forest, laughing
Repeated imagery of a carefree child playing in the rain
Running through the forest
Emphasizing the repeated image of the child joyfully running through the forest in the rain
Running through the forest
-Running through the forest
-When we stepped out of the tower
Exiting a high place, possibly a tower
On the seventy-third floor
Observing a view from a great height
Saw the city stretched below us
Viewing a city from above
Saw what used to be the door
Seeing what used to be an entrance or threshold
Of a vast and empty floodplain
Describing a vast, empty floodplain
And the river was so wild
Portraying a wildly flowing river
We suffocate the wilderness to entertain the child
Suppressing natural surroundings to amuse a child
We suffocate the wilderness to entertain the child
-I remember the floodplain
Recalling a memory of a floodplain
And the river was so wild
Describing the forceful flow of a river
Flat on my back against the falling tree
Reiterating the feeling of being suspended and struggling to communicate
I'm hovering over the ravine
-Still full of everything I tried to say
-New canyons spilling out of me
-I see you everytime I close my eyes
Continuing to vividly imagine the mentioned person with closed eyes
Child in the rain, running through the forest, laughing
Repeatedly picturing a carefree child running and laughing in the forest in the rain
Running through the forest, laughing
-Running through the forest, laughing
-Running through the forest, laughing
