It Must Be Raining There Forever
Eternal Rain of Heartache: Decoding Jason Molina's Melancholic Odyssey
Lyrics
Shadows signal to the rest of the dark
Shadows symbolize the impending darkness and its communication to the rest of the obscure.
Hold up the pain
Expressing a plea to endure emotional suffering.
Hold up the pain
Reiteration of the plea to endure pain, emphasizing its significance.
Shadows signal to the rest of the dark
Repetition of the idea that shadows signify and communicate within the darkness.
Hold up all the pain
A continuation of the plea to endure and hold onto pain.
I want to see where this all starts
Expressing a desire to understand the origin or root of the emotional turmoil.
Show me any two eyes that don't believe in the dark
Requesting to witness the disbelief in darkness through someone's eyes.
I'd like to see them try to hold back the stars
Challenging the notion that anyone can resist or restrain the stars.
Night wind and the cross road and the blue ghost's name
Referring to elements like the night wind, crossroads, and a spectral entity, all associated with danger.
All start with danger
Suggesting that various ominous events or emotions begin with danger.
The letter danger
Highlighting the recurring theme of danger through the repetition of the word.
Look in my eyes and see if it's still true
Inviting others to look into the speaker's eyes to verify the truth.
It all used to
Indicating a change from a past state to a different one, suggesting a transformation.
With all that blue that you carry around in your heart
Describing a profound emotional burden represented by the color blue in one's heart.
It must be raining there forever
Suggesting perpetual sadness or emotional turmoil through the metaphor of continuous rain.
With all that blue that you carried around in your heart
Reiteration of the enduring emotional burden, emphasizing its everlasting nature.
It must have been true
Suggesting the truth of the emotional state endured over time.
