In the Rain
Redemption in the Rain: Midnight Oil's Cathartic Journey of Apology and Renewal
Lyrics
Sorry I am for the hurt I caused
Expressing regret for the pain caused to someone
Grieving I still do over careless words
Continuing to feel sorrow and mournful for thoughtless or insensitive words spoken
As I move freely to a place
Moving forward in life
The debris I left behind comes back into my day
Consequences of past actions resurfacing and affecting the present
Out of time disconnected
Feeling disconnected from the present time
Plagued by senses sweet desire, out of time
Being haunted or troubled by strong desires, feeling out of sync with time
Out of time deluded
Being misled or deceived by circumstances
I plunged my hand into the mother load of love
Taking a significant risk or delving deeply into an intense emotional experience
In the rain calling out his name, I call, yes I call
Calling out someone's name in the rain, possibly seeking connection or resolution
In the rain falls on my shame it falls, yes it falls
Feeling the weight of shame in the rain, a sense of remorse or guilt
In the rain
A repetition of the setting, emphasizing the rain as a significant backdrop
Life picked me up this morning and thrust me to the world
Thrown into life's challenges abruptly, experiencing a sense of urgency
Like a child I'm hurtled forward
Being propelled forward like a child, perhaps feeling overwhelmed or unprepared
Dreaming things anew, sights I see sound true
Discovering new perspectives and experiencing genuine sensations
All the places, open faces gracing everything I view
Encountering various situations and diverse individuals
In the rain falls on my shame I call,yes I call
Reiterating the sense of calling out amidst shame in the rain
In the rain falling on my shame I call yes, I call
Continuing to call out in the rain despite feelings of shame
In the rain calling out his name, I fall, yes I fall
Calling out someone's name and feeling a sense of falling or decline in the rain
In the rain
Reiterating the setting's significance, emphasizing the rain's role
