Another Life
Weathering Life's Storms: Finding Clarity and Freedom
Lyrics
This storm keeps rolling on
This storm symbolizes challenges or difficulties persisting in the speaker's life.
I'm soaked to the skin
The speaker feels deeply affected or immersed in the challenges they are facing.
The parts of cloud that slowly block the sun
The obstacles gradually overshadow positive aspects, represented by the sun being blocked.
Patience wearing thin
The speaker's patience is wearing thin in dealing with the ongoing difficulties.
The clouds cover up the sky
The challenges are extensive, covering the entire "sky" of the speaker's life.
They're darker than the smoke inside of me
The speaker is internally troubled, indicated by the darkness inside, possibly emotional turmoil.
But it's a blessing in disguise
The difficulties, though burdensome, are viewed as a hidden blessing, offering a chance for introspection.
It gives me time to clear my mind and breathe
The challenges provide an opportunity for the speaker to clear their mind and find solace.
(Gives me time to clear my mind and breathe)
Reiteration of the positive impact of challenges, emphasizing mental clarity and breathing space.
(And breathe)
Continuation of the emphasis on breathing, suggesting a need for relaxation amidst difficulties.
I remember the rain, back in the day
Nostalgic reflection on past struggles, specifically recalling the rain as a metaphor for challenges.
Remember my brother going far away
Recollection of a significant event, the departure of the speaker's brother, adding to past hardships.
Think of my mother and all of my mates
Thoughts about family and friends, questioning whether they remember the speaker in the same way.
And wonder if they all think of me the same
The uncertainty about how others perceive the speaker in their absence.
I'm unsure deep down if it's what I need
The speaker is conflicted about whether these past experiences are truly beneficial for personal growth.
But a blast from the past can set you free
A positive perspective on revisiting the past, suggesting it can bring a sense of liberation.
In another life, the brightness scolds my eyes
In an alternate reality, the speaker envisions a life with brightness, holding someone close.
I'd hold you tight to me
The desire for intimacy and connection, contrasting with the current struggles.
And I can see it in your eyes, they come alive, the skies I've never seen
The speaker imagines a vibrant and alive world in the eyes of a loved one.
The storm will divide and crystallise and fall down to my feet
The challenges will eventually transform and fall at the speaker's feet, symbolizing overcoming adversity.
I wish you were here (You were here)
A wish for the presence of a significant other during tough times.
(They come alive the skies I've never seen, yeah)
Reiteration of the vivid and unseen beauty in the eyes of a loved one.
(Never seen, yeah)
Continued emphasis on the unseen beauty and its impact on the speaker.
These days seem to run away
The passing of time is perceived as fleeting, and the speaker feels unable to hold on to it.
Burnt leaves mask the summer pain, yeah
Metaphorical reference to the difficulties, with burnt leaves symbolizing past struggles.
I'm afraid the grey will never end
The fear that the challenges may persist, with the grey symbolizing ongoing hardships.
And I'll forget the blue that never brought the rain
Regret for forgetting the positive aspects, represented by the blue that never brought the rain.
