Heavy Rain
Coloursound Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

This is a pressure drop a switching off
This is an overload an overthrow
This is the end of the line the end of the road
The end of everything we know

Heavy rain heavy rain it's coming down again

Under heavy skies of a giddian time

Ultraviolet light ultra violent times

This is the start of the finish of the start
The end of the beginning of the end

Overall Meaning

“Heavy Rain” by Coloursound is a song that seems to be about a crisis point, an overwhelming force - the heavy rain - that is causing a sort of apocalyptic destruction or ending. The lyrics talk about a pressure drop, an overload, and the end of the line, indicating that some sort of climactic moment has been reached. The metaphors used in the song - heavy rain, heavy skies, ultraviolet light - all suggest a chaotic, destructive force. This could be a metaphor for a personal crisis, a breakdown of a relationship, or some other situation where things seem out of control and hopeless.

The lyrics also suggest a cyclical nature to this crisis, with the end of the beginning of the end. This could indicate that there is no real resolution to the situation, that it is a recurring problem that keeps coming back. However, the repetition of heavy rain at the end of each verse suggests that there is a transformative aspect to the crisis as well. Rain can be nourishing, it can wash away old dirt and make way for new growth. Perhaps, then, this heavy rain is the catalyst for change, the necessary force that will lead to something new.
