Rain Lyrics

[Verse 1]
For so long, I have waited
So long that I almost became
Just a stoic statue
, fit for nobody
And I don't wanna get in your way
But I finally think I can say
That the vicious cycle was over
The moment you smiled at me


[Chorus]
And just like the rain
You cast the dust into nothing
And wash out the salt from my hands

So touch me again
I feel my shadow dissolving
Will you cleanse me with pleasure?

[Verse 2]
It's that chemical cut that I can get down with
Up like the moon and out like the hounds
A dangerous disposition somehow
Refracted in light, reflected in sound
I'm coiled up like the venomous serpent
Tangled in your trance and I'm certain
You have got your hooks in me
And I know, I know the way that it goes
You get what you give, you reap what you sow
And I can see you in my fate
And I know, I know I am what I am
The mouth of the wolf, the eyes of the lamb

So darling, will you saturate?
[Chorus]
And just like the rain
You cast the dust into nothing
And wash out the salt from my hands
So touch me again
I feel my shadow dissolving
Will you cleanse me with pleasure?


[Bridge]
Nobody can say for certain
If maybe it's all just a game

When I open my eyes to the future
I can hear you say my name

[Outro]
So rain down on me, oh, oh-oh-oh
Rain down on me, oh-oh-oh
Rain down on me, oh, oh-oh-oh
Rain down on me
Rain down on me, yeah
Rain down on me, oh, oh-oh-oh
Rain down on me, oh-oh-oh
Rain down on me, oh, oh-oh-oh
Rain down on me
Rain down on me, yeah
Rain down on me

Genius Annotation

This song is so deep. You can really feel his emotions pouring through the song like rain. Wash the salt of the wounds of your soul. The mouth of the vicious wolf shows how the endelss emotional cycle that repeats when in a relationship thats unhealthy. How when in an unhealthy relationship, you ignore the signs that tell you to get out because you love them. Its a game of emotions that plays with both people. Rain down on me describes the realization that everything about the relationship was not as real as you believed. This song is about waiting for the other person to become emotionally invested but in the end, the relationship will never stop being a game played. He will always go back to her even when he should not. Shes the venomous serpent that spoils his veins.
