Summer Rain
Core22 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Forget about all I said
Tell me you're gonna stay forever
I want to taste you
Allowed in the night to kiss you
GIve you no line no rescue
When I pull my arms around you
And I want you by
I let you in under my skin
Summer rain
Healing my pain
You fall into my sky
To my heart
Summer rain
Take me away
Let it shine again
In my life
Come in, come in, to my life
Come in, come in, come in
...over my head
I miss you
... I breake rules
Spinning my way that drift away
I need a daydream
In my bed I lay still
And nobody else but you do
Crying in my head
I wish you here
You drive me out of my mind
And I want you by
I let you in under my skin
Summer rain
Healing my pain
You fall into my sky
To my heart
Summer rain
Take me away
Let it shine again
In my life
Come in, come in, into my life
Come in, come in, come in
Not a shadows
Can't you stay
I wish you were here
Summer rain
Healing my pain
You fall into my sky
To my heart
Summer rain
Take me away
Let it shine again
In my life
Please take me away
Summer rain
To my heart
The lyrics to Core22's song "Summer Rain" express a yearning, almost desperate desire for connection with another person. The opening lines imply a willingness to sacrifice or give up anything to alleviate the pain, even faith in a higher power. There is an urgency in the singer's pleas to "tell me you're gonna stay forever," and to feel the intimacy of kissing the person, without any reservations or boundaries. The lines "You drive me out of my mind/ And I want you by" highlight the intensity of the desire, and the subsequent lines suggest an almost hypnotic quality ("I let you in under my skin") to how the person affects the singer.
The chorus of "Summer Rain" brings a sense of relief from the pain, a "healing" that comes with the arrival of the beloved, portrayed as falling into the sky and heart of the singer. There is a suggestion that the physical presence of the person elevates the atmosphere around the singer, bringing shine and clarity back to their life. The bridge of the song expresses a longing for physical and emotional closeness, using phrases like "spinning my way that drift away" to express feeling lost or disconnected without the person. The repetition of "Come in, come in, into my life" and "Please take me away/ Summer rain/ to my heart" reinforces the idea that the person is the solution to the pain and loneliness that the singer is experiencing.
