Break It Down Gently

Lyrics
It soon appears
Introduction to a forthcoming situation or revelation.
Long rented shores
Expansive shores that have been rented for a long duration.
Too big to name
Too significant to be given a name.
And second to none
Exceptional, unparalleled.
Save horses' hair
Preserving something valuable, perhaps an analogy for being cautious.
In pockets deep
Deep pockets, possibly metaphorical for abundant resources or wealth.
Remember skies
Recollection of expansive and open skies.
Second to none
Similar to line 4, emphasizing unparalleled significance.
Black rain
Anticipation or warning of a significant event (black rain) to come.
Black rain will come
-Black rain
-Black rain will come
-Word to the wise
Advice or warning to be wise.
Don't you sit on this fence
Caution against indecision or neutrality (sitting on the fence).
Electric and live
Describing something as electric and vibrant.
With evangelistic zeal
Possibly an energetic and enthusiastic approach.
Spin doctors gave you
Critique of manipulation by influential figures, offering false solutions.
All those remedies to choose
-So you'd be the weathervane
-For clouds that never move
-Black rain
Reiteration of the impending arrival of a significant event (black rain).
Black rain will come
-Black rain
-Black rain will come
-To break it down gently
Expressing a need to handle a situation gently and slowly, acknowledging its inevitable descent.
To wash it down slow
-Goin' straight to the bottom
-With a mind . . . . of it's own
-Black rain, Black rain, Black rain will come X3
Repetition of the warning about the arrival of black rain.
Black rain will come
