Rain
Cleansing Tears: Unraveling the Emotional Symphony in Sydney Irving's 'Rain'
Lyrics
I guess I never know where I’m going from here
I feel uncertain about my future destination.
In the light, let it die restin' on delusion
In the brightness, let false beliefs fade away.
Too far off to come near
It's too distant to approach.
Just hardly the colors start making out clearly
Just as the colors become distinct.
Ooh it looks like rain
Anticipating rainfall.
Ooh washed out some of the pain, away
Rain washing away some of the emotional pain.
Phasing like a pretty face
Transitioning like a beautiful appearance.
Ooh all diamonds cut
Alluding to the refinement of diamonds.
A fade of what I was
A diminishing image of what I used to be.
Ooh like water melts to blood
Metaphorically transforming like water turning to blood.
All too honestly
Expressing complete honesty.
You’re wearing away at me
Your influence is gradually eroding me.
Played like a pawn on a string
Being manipulated like a pawn on a string.
Blinded by the noise drownin’ everything
Overwhelmed by noise, drowning out everything.
You said, “baby, lean on me.”
Recalling someone saying, "baby, lean on me."
Please just let me bleed, let me bleed
Requesting to be allowed to experience and release pain.
I’ll wait here all day for the rain to leave me clean
Waiting patiently for cleansing rain.
Ooh it looks like rain
Anticipating rainfall once again.
Ooh washed out some of the pain, away
Rain washing away more emotional pain.
Phasing like a pretty face
Transitioning gracefully like a pretty face.
Ooh all diamonds cut
Reference to the cutting precision of diamonds.
A fade of what I was
A diminishing image of the past.
Ooh like water melts to blood
Metaphorically transforming, like water turning to blood.
So wash me away
Requesting to be washed away.
Wash me away
Repetition of the desire to be washed away.
Wash me away, these tears mascara stained
Being washed away, with tears stained like mascara.
Wash me away
Continuing the theme of being cleansed by rain.
Stand in the down pouring rain
Standing in the pouring rain.
Wash me away
Continuing the imagery of being washed away.
In lightning, in lightning
Emphasizing the cleansing power of lightning.
Ooh it looks like rain
Reiterating the anticipation of rainfall.
Ooh washed out some of the pain, away
Expectation of rain washing away more pain.
Phasing like a pretty face
Transitioning gracefully, like a pretty face.
Ooh all diamonds cut
Reference to the precision of diamond cutting.
A fade of what I was
A diminishing image of the past.
Ooh like water melts to blood
Metaphorically transforming, like water turning to blood.
