Rain in the Desert
Longing for Authenticity: Seeking Rain in Emotional Deserts
Lyrics
cre you for real
Questioning the authenticity of the person
are you a counterfeit
Asking if the person is genuine or fake
a smile like that makes me itch
Expressing discomfort or suspicion caused by a charming smile
I long for rain in the desert
Expressing a desire for something unexpected or rare (rain in the desert) as a metaphor for wanting an unlikely or unconventional change
cre you a poet
Questioning if the person is a genuine poet
Or do you just spin words
Wondering if the person merely crafts words without depth or sincerity
Same ones for all the girls
Implying that the person uses the same words or gestures for multiple individuals
will you bring rain to the desert
Asking if the person can bring the desired change or depth (metaphorically, rain) to a situation
There's been so much blue
Referring to a period of sadness or melancholy
used to sting now it soothes
Expressing a transition from pain to comfort
Still the goodnights are little stones outside a
Comparing goodnights to insignificant tokens or gestures
window
Suggesting a sense of being closed off or distant
cre you a landline
Asking if the person is emotionally available or accessible
Emotions attached inside
Desiring emotional connection beyond internal feelings
I want to feel outside my mind
Expressing a desire to break free from mental constraints
Let's make rain in the desert
Expressing a desire to create something unusual or unexpected (rain in the desert)
There's so much here
Referring to depth and sincerity in emotions or relationships
Deeper and so sincere
Questioning the authenticity of a situation or experience
Is this a mirage
Questioning if something perceived is real or an illusion
I'm not a human yoyo
Asserting a refusal to be treated as a predictable object or toy
Solo
Expressing independence or solitude
Drops won't quench the thirst
Suggesting that small actions may not fulfill a larger need
Does the poet want the girl
Asking if the poet desires a genuine connection with the girl
I'm tired of the back and forth
Expressing weariness of indecision or inconsistency
Baby let's make rain in the desert
Reiterating the desire to create an unexpected change (rain in the desert) together
Let's make rain in the desert
Repeating the desire to bring an unexpected change or depth (rain) to a situation
cre you for real
Repeating the question about the person's authenticity
cre you for real
-cre you for real
