The Rain
Embracing Redemption: The Catharsis of 'The Rain' by Smash Into Pieces
Lyrics
A Man can try to change
A person can attempt to change
To wash away the stain
To cleanse or remove a mark or blemish
accustomed to the pain
Accustomed to enduring suffering or distress
Make something of today
Create something meaningful in the present
Forget from whence you came
Forget about your origins
You'll never be the same
You will never be the same again
Here comes the rain
Introducing a challenging or difficult situation (rain)
'Oh wont you bring it on down
Asking for the rain to come down
And wash it all away
To cleanse and eliminate everything
With all our bridges burned
After burning all bridges, there's no way to retreat
There nowhere left to turn
There's no alternative, no direction to take
Look inside to be purged
Reflect within to be cleansed
Of sins and bad memories
To be purified of sins and negative memories
Who cares if I make enemies
Not concerned about making enemies
This is what I deserve
Accepting the consequences as deserved
Here comes the rain
Reiteration of the impending rain
'Oh wont you bring it on down
Inviting the rain to come down
And wash it all away
To wash away everything
Here Comes the Rain
Repetition of the announcement of the rain
Won't you bring it on down
Requesting the rain to descend
Down
Downward motion emphasized
Wash it all away
To cleanse and remove all impurities
The grime right off soul
To clean the dirt off the soul
Ill see another day
Ensuring the possibility of a new day despite pain
With pain I pay the toll
Paying a toll with pain
So
Connecting the previous lines with the upcoming ones
And when the flood has gone
After the flood or challenges have passed
Ill stand beneath the sun
Standing strong in the aftermath
Ill be the only one
Being the sole survivor or individual
Here comes the rain
Reiteration of the imminent rain
'Oh wont you bring it on down
Asking for the rain to come down once more
And wash it all away
To wash away everything
