[Intro]
Ahn-ahn, ahn-ahn
Ahn-ahn, ahn-ahn
[Verse 1]
Is she ready to know my frustration?
What she slipping inside, slow castration
I'm a riddle so strong, you can't break me
Did she come here to try, try to take me?
[Chorus]
Did she call my name?
I think it's gonna rain
Oh, when I die
[Verse 2]
Was it something I said, held against me?
Ain't no life on the run, slowly climbing
Caught in ice so she stares, stares at nothing
I can help her but won't, now she hates me
[Chorus]
Did she call my name?
I think it's gonna rain
Oh, when I die
[Bridge]
She won't let me hide
She don't want me to cry
Yeah!
[Verse 3]
Will she keep on the ground, tryin' to ground me?
Slowly forgive my lie, lyin' to save me
Could she love me again, or will she hate me?
Probably not, I know why, can't explain me
[Chorus]
Did she call my name?
I think it's gonna rain
Oh, when I die
[Outro]
Ahn-ahn, ahn-ahn
Ahn-ahn, ahn-ahn
Ahn-ahn, ahn-ahn
Ahn-ahn, ahn-ahn
Ahn-ahn, ahn-ahn
Ahn-ahn, ahn-ahn
Ahn-ahn, ahn-ahn
Ahn-ahn...
... Ahn-ahn, ahn-ahn
Ahn-ahn, ahn-ahn
Rain When I Die was written by Mike Starr & Sean Kinney & Jerry Cantrell & Layne Staley.
Rain When I Die was produced by Alice in Chains & Dave Jerden.
Alice in Chains released Rain When I Die on Tue Sep 29 1992.
Could be referring to Death, but it’s open to interpretation and was probably written that way intentionally. Could also be about drugs (given Layne’s infamous trouble there) or about a relationship.
