Diamond Rain
Кроссроудз Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Now you're sitting at the top of the world,
You can't remember how it was before,
You think of nothing and it always been the same.
And all those people running around,
Doing everything you want and more,
You got the money and keep on playing the game.

Walking in a diamond rain,
Walking in a diamond rain,
Walking in a diamond rain, feel no pleasure, feel no pain,
Walking in a diamond rain.

Life is a gamble and you're on the streets,
You think you're winning, but you're all alone,
You clean the bank but you don't understand.
Watch out, your luck will change real soon,
And all those diamonds gonna turn to stone,
You got nobody when you need a helping hand.

Walking in a diamond rain,
Walking in a diamond rain,
Walking in a diamond rain, feel no pleasure, feel no pain,
Walking in a diamond rain.

Some folks are strong, some folks are not,
Some folks stay when it's getting hot,
Some got to go when their comforts run away.
I hope you're ready when your luck runs out,
You'll see just what life's about,
Your diamond rain's gonna end someday.

Walking in a diamond rain,
Walking in a diamond rain,




Walking in a diamond rain, feel no pleasure, feel no pain,
Walking in a diamond rain.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Кроссроудз's song "Diamond Rain" are a commentary on the nature of success and wealth. The song begins by painting a picture of someone who has achieved great success and is now sitting at the top of the world. They have everything they want and think of nothing else. They are surrounded by people who cater to their every whim and they have so much money that they can keep playing the game. However, the chorus of the song suggests that this person is not happy. They are walking in a diamond rain, a metaphor for their wealth and success, but they feel no pleasure and no pain. The repetition of the line "walking in a diamond rain" emphasizes the dull monotony of this person's life and suggests that their success has come at a great cost.


The song then takes a darker turn, warning that life is a gamble and that this person's luck will change real soon. The diamond rain that they have been walking in will turn to stone and they will be left with nobody to help them. The lyrics caution that some people are strong and some are not, some stay and some go when things get tough. The song ends with a warning that the diamond rain will end someday and the listener is left to ponder the cost of success and whether it is truly worth it.

А как они в живую исполняют , ох круто!

@user-is6bp8ut9d

Услыщал впервые от самого Сергея Воронова, в марте 1990-го, в Екатеринбурге (тогда - в Свердловске), на концерте группы "Бригада С". Он тогда с группой Гарика играл... Песня запала в душу...

@neoandersen9423

В 1995 в армейке, шик, блеск, а перевёл текст вообще обалдел, крутая композиция!

@dennistarasov7931

Клип смотрели и танцевали под него у товарища в начале 90-ых на ВМ-12. Запал в душу. Искал потом, но не находил. Тут как-то вспомнил и сразу -ОН! Впечатления уже не те, конечно. Но поностальгировал) Спасибо!
