Let It Rain
Brolle Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Could be the last time but I know it`s not the first
You claimed to be Picasso`s ghost as I recall
You took your paintbrush and you wrote up on my wall
Let it rain, let it rain, let it rain
I was drifting as you painted silently
In my kitchen where the window used to be
The only sound I heard was on my radio
Let it rain, let it rain, let it rain
I saw Kennedy looking for his brother
He said if you see him first will you tell him not to bother
It was fixed - oh yeah
Onassis who was with him and was taking in washing cos
He had to make a living said it don`t pay
To get too rich - oh no
Cleopatra said I haven`t got a hope
To Nostradamus who`d prepared her horoscope
He replied it would be wise it seems to me
Don`t play with snakes and people called Mark Anthony
Let it rain, let it rain, let it rain
The song "Let It Rain" by Brolle has a poetic and metaphorical take on a relationship that is falling apart. The opening lines of the song give us an understanding of the current state of the relationship that the singer is experiencing. The situation is getting worse, and it seems like it could be the last time, but the singer knows it is not the first. The next line is a reference to a famous painter, Picasso and his alleged ghost, which the singer claims the other person in the relationship to be. The person in the relationship took a paintbrush and painted on the singer's wall, which could symbolize the damage caused to the relationship.
The chorus of the song "Let it rain" is repeated multiple times and acts as a metaphor for the singer's emotions. The use of rain represents a release of emotions and a symbol of cleansing. Throughout the rest of the song, lyrics represent a semi-stream-of-consciousness or dream-like state with multiple historical and cultural references. The mixing of references could represent the state of confusion the singer is in due to the relationship falling apart. The song ends with the repetition of the chorus, emphasizing the idea of letting emotions out and letting the rain wash away the pain.
