Naked In The Rain
Blue Pearl Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm in over my head
Fire fills me, hot and red
Raging like a blood red sun
Fire fueled by deeds undone
Burning and I just can't wait to give a helping hand to fate
Change this crazy world around, first we gotta cool down
Take me dancing naked in the rain
Join me dancing naked in the rain
Cover me in ecstasy, oh
Oh oh
Smoke is in my eyes
Drifting from the burning cries
Of those who have no strength to stand
Against the fire in the land
Come and wash away the pain, step into the blessed rain
Cool the fire in your soul, the rain will make you whole
Take me dancing naked in the rain
Feel it washing over me, oh oh
Join me dancing naked in the rain
Cover me in ecstasy
Take me dancing naked in the rain
Feel it washing over me, ooh ooh
Join me dancing naked in the rain
Cover me in ecstasy, oh
Oh oh
Come and wash away the pain, step into the blessed rain
Cool the fire in your soul, the rain will make you whole
Come and wash away the pain, step into the blessed rain
Cool the fire in your soul, the rain will make you whole
Take me dancing naked in the rain
Feel it washing over me, oh oh
Join me dancing naked in the rain
Cover me in ecstasy
Take me dancing naked in the rain
Feel it washing over me, ooh ooh
Join me dancing naked in the rain
Cover me in ecstasy, oh
Oh oh, hey hey

i play guitars and stuff and am not a massive electronic music fan but still, this is a timeless classic, has atmosphere and builds nicely, more so than other similar stuff imho
@RuthRandoms
Awesome tune. I always loved this tune and I weirdly recall being at the swimming baths and this song came on, I felt amazing. I think I was 15 or 16.
@ripped2fcuk1
Unbelievable tuuune no doubt no cunt would ever disagree....
You love it because it integrates your dark side and makes you feel more whole, assertive, kind, complete. HUMAN.
Exactly what mdma really does. 😉
@NonGenericAI
Dam...I love this old track. Danced to this many times completely off my face back in the day.
This and " Pump up the jam" could dance all night,
Old age is cruel. Enjoy your youth.
Old time raver.
@jibicusmaximus4827
just the song alone has a kind of intoxicating vibe, never gets old.
