Heavy Rain
Cicero Buck Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Heavy rain, coming down to talk to me
Heavy rain saying "Baby can you see?"
It don't have to be this way
Don't believe a word they say
Heavy rain, coming down
Talk to me

Heavy rain whispered in my ear,
Heavy rain saying "Baby can you hear?"
All the love is in the air,
Can you feel it everywhere?
Heavy rain, whispering in my ear

Then the sun shines, I close my eyes
Tired of inner child giving a surprise.
Don't trust the good and the bad is all I know.
Heavy rain tells me "Let it go"
Let it go
Let it go

Heavy rain washing me away,
Heavy rain, got so much to say.
Calm down and walk away,
Tomorrow is another day.
Heavy rain, washing me away
Away

Then the sun shines, I close my eyes.
Tired of inner child giving a surprise.
Don't trust the good and the bad is all I know
Heavy rain tells me "Let it go"
Let it go
Let it go





Heavy rain, com on down and talk to me

Overall Meaning

The song "Heavy Rain" by Cicero Buck is a beautiful interpretation of the role rain can play in our lives. The heavy rain serves as a metaphor for the thoughts and emotions that flood our minds, and how we need to let them out and acknowledge them. The persona in the song is looking for validation from the rain, hoping it can communicate with them and provide guidance.


The first verse sees the persona inviting the rain to talk to them, possibly looking for answers to deep existential questions. They want assurance that things don't have to be the way they currently are, and that they don't have to believe what they've been told. The chorus sees the rain whispering love and encouragement to the persona, assuring them that all the love they need is around them, and they just need to be open to it.


In the second verse, the sun shines, and the persona acknowledges they're tired of the inner child giving them surprises. They're wary of trusting the good because they've been burned by the bad. However, the heavy rain tells them to let it go and signals a new beginning, one where they can calm down and start fresh. The outro repeats the chorus, emphasizing the importance of letting the rain wash away negative emotions and starting again with a clean slate.


Overall, "Heavy Rain" is a beautiful reminder that emotions need to be acknowledged and released for us to grow and heal. The rain, in this case, serves as a comforting guide that can help us navigate the various ups and downs of life.
