Through the Storm
Black Sheets Of Rain Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hell on earth from every angle
Sick of living under siege
Lashing rain blacks out the horizon
Out of sight and out of reach

Through the storm around us
I've got your back, won't leave your side
Through the storm around us
I'll fight for you when hope has died

It all burns down around us
Low blows from every side
I'll stand between you and the world
When you've no strength to fight

Chill wind through scattered ashes
See the world through broken glass
I'll still be with you every step
After the storm has passed

Through the storm around us
I've got your back, won't leave your side




Through the storm around us
I'll fight for you when hope has died

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to "Through the Storm" by Black Sheets of Rain convey a strong message of loyalty and solidarity between individuals who are struggling to survive in the face of adversity. The song describes a harsh and unforgiving world that is indifferent to the challenges and suffering of those who live within it. The first stanza paints a picture of a bleak and oppressive environment in which people feel trapped and abandoned. The metaphor of "black sheets of rain" looming on the horizon suggests that there is something foreboding and ominous lurking just beyond the reach of human perception. The artist is emphasizing the fact that sometimes the problems we face in life can be overwhelming and it can feel like there is no escape.


The chorus then delivers the message that, no matter how bad things get, the singer is willing to stand by the side of the person they are addressing in the song. By declaring "I've got your back, won't leave your side," the artist is expressing a sense of deep commitment and loyalty that transcends the individual struggles that each person may be facing. The repeated refrain of "Through the storm around us, I'll fight for you when hope has died" reinforces the message that hope and perseverance are vital to overcoming life's obstacles, and that having someone to rely on can make all the difference in the world.


In the final stanza, the artist invokes the image of a post-apocalyptic wasteland, where everything is destroyed and there is nothing left but ashes and broken glass. However, even in the midst of this desolation, the artist is still there at the side of the person they are addressing, providing comfort and support. The overall message of the song is one of hope and resilience in the face of hardship, and the importance of having someone to trust and rely on during difficult times.
