Raining
Art of Dying Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Never been so high
And I can't look up with a closing mind
I'm scared to be touched
I don't like the feel
It's way too close
Way too real
It never lets up
I know I'm crazy
Crazy enough to know that I'll find a way to make this all go away
I'm scared to be me
Because I look like you
I don't want to be somebody I never knew
I'm scared to go out
I'm so far in
I hear it's nice
But I've never been
Inside it's raining
It never lets up
I know I'm crazy
Crazy enough to know that I'll find a way to make this all go away
I found my only out, so just forget about talking me down
I'll put this fire out and stop this burning
Inside it's raining
It never lets up
I know I'm crazy
Crazy enough to know that I'll find a way to make this all go away
Inside it's raining
It never lets up
I know I'm crazy
Crazy enough to know that I'll find a way to make this all go away
Inside it's raining, make this all go away
Inside it's raining, make this all go away
Inside it's raining, make this all go away
Inside it's raining, make this all go away
Art of Dying's song "Raining" is a deeply introspective and reflective piece that deals with themes of identity, anxiety, and depression. The opening lines, "I'm scared to look down, never been so high, and I can't look up with a closing mind," speak to the fear and uncertainty that the singer is feeling about their place in the world. They feel overwhelmed by their surroundings, unable to find a sense of stability or security.
As the song progresses, the singer delves deeper into their own psyche, revealing a profound sense of alienation and disconnection from the world around them. They talk about being afraid of being touched, of feeling too close to others, and of being judged for who they are. This is reflected in the repeated refrain, "Inside it's raining, it never lets up," which serves as a metaphor for the singer's overwhelming sense of sadness and isolation.
Despite their struggles, however, the singer remains determined to find a way to overcome their pain and make it all "go away." They talk about finding their "only out," and how they will do whatever it takes to quell the fire that's burning inside them.
Overall, "Raining" is a powerful and emotional song that speaks to the challenges that many people face when dealing with mental health issues. It's a testament to the resilience of the human spirit, and a reminder that even in the darkest of times, there is always hope.
