Lyrics
These storms they gather forces unbeknownst to fools like me
Storms symbolize challenges or difficulties that accumulate without the awareness of individuals like the speaker.
They hide on the horizon too far gone to see
The challenges are hidden on the horizon, too distant for the speaker to perceive until it's too late.
I could have swore the heart you wore upon your sleeve was mine
The speaker believed that the love they thought was openly displayed (heart on sleeve) was mutual.
I could not see in front of me you were leaving I was blind
The speaker was unaware of the impending departure of the loved one, resulting in a blind realization.
Blinding sheets of rain that's what I'm blaming
The speaker attributes the emotional turmoil to a metaphorical storm of blinding rain.
I must have been blind not to see that you would leave
Regret for not foreseeing the departure and the acknowledgment of personal blindness.
Now you are gone and the world is an ugly place
The absence of the loved one has transformed the world into a bleak and unpleasant place for the speaker.
And I pray good Lord send more blinding sheets of rain
A plea for more emotional turmoil (blinding sheets of rain) as a form of catharsis or redemption.
I love you, lost it's meaning to shipwrecked fools like me
The concept of love has lost its significance for the speaker, possibly due to the heartbreak.
The rain is never ending there's no ships out to see
The continuous rain symbolizes ongoing hardship, with no relief or positive change in sight.
We have not seen a good night since these thunderstorms rolled in
Negative impact on the speaker's life since the metaphorical thunderstorms began.
I pray God please send them back and make me blind again
A desperate plea to return to ignorance and blindness to avoid the pain of reality.
Blinding sheets of rain that's what I'm blaming
Reiteration of the storm metaphor and attributing emotional pain to the blinding rain.
I must have been blind not to see that you would leave
Recognition of personal blindness regarding the loved one's departure.
Now you are gone and the world is an ugly place
Reiteration of the negative impact on the world due to the absence of the loved one.
And I pray good Lord send more blinding sheets of rain
A repeat of the plea for more emotional turmoil as a form of coping or seeking redemption.
And I pray good Lord send more blinding sheets of rain
Repetition of the plea for blinding rain, emphasizing the intensity of emotional distress.
And I pray good Lord send more blinding sheets of rain
Continued emphasis on the prayer for emotional catharsis through blinding rain.
