Raindrop
Alison's Halo Lyrics

The lyrics of Alison's Halo song, "Raindrop," seem to be about a relationship that has ended. The singer describes waiting for their partner's heart to "bloom," but then plucking the petals off one by one - a metaphor for the destruction of the relationship. Despite this, the singer acknowledges that their former partner is still beautiful. The second verse describes a summer spent counting "love me nots," suggesting that the singer may have been playing a game with their partner rather than having a genuine connection. However, the final lines of the verse - "now I found they're numberless" - suggests that the singer has realized that the number of times someone says they love you doesn't necessarily matter if the love isn't genuine.

The chorus repeats the lines "like raindrops falling over me, sad you stopped keeping love for me." Here, the metaphor of raindrops falling over the singer could represent tears or emotions that they can't control - as if they are being doused in a rainstorm. The phrase "sad you stopped keeping love for me" suggests that the singer feels abandoned or rejected by their former partner. The final verse mentions "somewhere safe and understood," perhaps implying that the singer is retreating into their own mind or a place of comfort to escape from the pain of the breakup. Despite this, the final lines of the song echo the chorus, suggesting that the singer is still struggling to come to terms with the end of the relationship.

Overall, "Raindrop" presents a somber and melancholy atmosphere, with a mixture of introspection and regret. The metaphorical language and repetition of certain phrases give the song a dreamlike quality, inviting interpretation and reflection on the part of the listener.
