Janet Says
Embracing Rain: Finding Comfort in Memories
Lyrics
Janet says it looks like a rainy day today
Janet is predicting rainy weather today.
Just another rainy day
Emphasizing that it's just another day with rain.
As I lean my chin slowly up against the window pane
The singer rests their chin on the window, observing the gloomy day.
It's another gray rainy day but go on try it again
Despite the gray day, there's encouragement to try again.
Try, try, try, try to get goin'
An urging to persist despite challenges.
But the rain comes down, forcin' you to stay inside
Rain is a hindrance, confining one indoors.
Holdin' you back from the places that you usually hide
Rain restricts access to familiar hiding places.
Are you all alone? Or more than anything before?
Questioning if the listener feels more alone than ever.
Janet says she loves you, is there something troublin' you?
Janet expresses love and concern, asking about troubles.
It's not that easy to say, for I feel at times such a presence
Communication difficulties in expressing feelings.
In the room of friends I knew especially on these rainy days
Sensing a presence, especially on rainy days, among friends.
But go on try to stay
An encouragement to persist despite challenges.
Fly, fly, fly, we're flyin' away
Encouraging flight or escape from current difficulties.
We hold on to memories of everyone
Memories are held onto, akin to existing clouds before the sun.
Like existing clouds - a shadow dance before the sun
Comparing memories to shadows dancing before the sun.
And down with the rain
Connection with rain as it separates and falls.
I can see the separations come
Acknowledging the coming of separations.
Janet says maybe you would rather sing to me
Janet suggests expressing feelings through song.
It might be easier that way
Singing might be an easier way to communicate.
I guess it would and it ought to be a simple melody
Suggesting a simple melody suited for rainy days.
One that sort of suits the rain
Reflecting on memories and how they unravel.
Everything rolls off unwinding reels
Recalling the feeling of belonging somewhere.
Of remembering how it used to feel to belong somewhere
Expressing nostalgia for the past sense of belonging.
