Grayscale shared with PasteMagazine the meaning of this song.
“Let It Rain'‘ is the opening track on the record. We felt it should be the first song because it sort of captures the vibe of the entire A side. In the song, I am pleading for more and more rain to come, in hopes of it "washing away” al...
[Verse 1]
See your clouds taking shape
I feel the rush of static on my face
I’m going crazy, haven’t slept in days
Can’t live with myself and my selfish ways
Bring the rain, and let it wash me away
[Chorus]
Let it rain all night
I wish that it could wash away everything you’ve done
Let it rain on us
I pray that I could pull apart your head and fix you up
[Verse 2]
I still hear your stories, the lessons you always told me
It never meant a thing, yeah, never mind, no worries
While you sleep away your days, I live in black and white shades
You were never good enough to say you’re sorry
[Chorus]
Let it rain all night
I wish that it could wash away everything you’ve done
Let it rain on us
I pray that I could pull apart your head and fix you up
[Bridge]
I’d set you straight, I’d wear your blood like war paint
I’d wear your blood like war paint
Blood like war paint
[Chorus]
Let it rain all night
I wish that it could wash away everything you’ve done
Let it rain on us
I pray that I could pull apart your head and fix you up
[Verse 3]
Bring the rain, and let it wash me away
Bring the rain, I’ll see you again someday
Bring the rain, bring the rain
Bring the rain and let it wash me away
Storming in my head, I feel it everyday
I bottled up the guilt you left when you went away
Hangs like a locket you gave me
I’d set you straight, I’d wear your blood like war paint
