Lyrics
You can stand in the rain
You have the option to endure challenges ("stand in the rain") or proceed confidently ("walk on in").
Or you can walk on in
Enter into the pursuit of a significant goal or aspiration ("dream of a lifetime") despite the presence of wrongdoing ("existence of sin").
To the dream of a lifetime
If the speaker had been more discerning, they might have avoided a certain situation or person.
In the existence of sin
The speaker's soul or intuition has misled them, leading to contemplation and confusion.
If I'd known any better
Reflecting on past choices, the speaker expresses regret and considers the consequences of their actions.
I would have passed you by
The speaker acknowledges being deceived by their soul or inner self.
But my soul has deceived me
The speaker is now pondering the reasons behind their current state of mind.
Now I sit and I'm wondering why
I'm the shape that I'm in
Repetition of the idea that the speaker is in a particular state or condition.
The shape that I'm in
Reiterating the theme of self-reflection and assessing one's current condition.
Look at the shape that I'm in
Encouraging the listener to observe and acknowledge the speaker's present state.
Look at the shape that I'm in
Repeating the call for attention to the speaker's current condition.
When I walk in the sunshine
The speaker experiences positive emotions and associations when exposed to sunlight.
When I think of your name
The mere thought of a specific person's name continues to affect the speaker emotionally.
There's a light that still blinds me
Despite challenges, a powerful and enduring light remains in the speaker's mind.
There's a light in my mind that remains
The speaker retains a significant and positive memory or impression associated with the mentioned name.
As the storm it shall anger
Challenges and difficulties will provoke the speaker's anger, but they will eventually subside.
So shall it pass
Life's challenges are transient, and the speaker observes the cyclical nature of the world.
Watch the world as it turns in a circle
Contemplating life's cycles, the speaker finds no reason to question or seek explanations.
And I'm left with no reason to ask
The speaker accepts the natural order of things without needing justification.
I'm the shape that I'm in
Reiteration of the speaker's current emotional or existential state.
The shape that I'm in
Continued emphasis on the speaker's present condition.
The shape that I'm in
Repeating the theme of self-reflection and evaluating one's current state.
Look at the shape that I'm in
Encouraging the listener to observe and acknowledge the speaker's present state.
Look at the shape that I'm in
Repeating the call for attention to the speaker's current condition.
The shape that I'm in
Continued emphasis on the speaker's present condition.
The shape that I'm in
Reiteration of the theme of self-reflection and assessing one's current state.
Look at the shape that I'm in
Encouraging the listener to observe and acknowledge the speaker's present state.
The shape that I'm in
Final repetition of the speaker's current emotional or existential state.
The shape that I'm in
Continued emphasis on the speaker's present condition.
Look at the shape that I'm in
Repeating the call for attention to the speaker's current condition.
Look at the shape that I'm in
Encouraging the listener to observe and acknowledge the speaker's present state.
