Rain
Creed Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Can you help me out
Can you lend me a hand
It's safe to say
That I'm stuck again

Trapped between this life
And the light
I just cant figure out
How to make it right

A thousand times before
I've wondered if there's something more
Something more

I feel it's gonna rain like this for days
So let it rain down and wash everything away
I hope that tomorrow the sun will shine
With every tomorrow comes another life

I feel it's gonna rain
For days and days

I feel it's gonna rain

I've tried to figure out
I can't understand
What it means
To be whole again
Trapped between the truth
And the consequence
Nothing's real
Nothing's making sense

A thousand times before
I've wondered if there's something more
Something more

I feel it's gonna rain like this for days
So let it rain down and wash everything away
I hope that tomorrow the sun will shine
I feel it's gonna rain like this, rain like this, rain like this

Fall down
Wash away my yesterdays
Fall down
So let the rain fall down on me

I feel it's gonna rain like this for days
Let it rain down and wash everything away
I hope that tomorrow the sun will shine

I feel it's gonna rain like this, rain like this (so let the rain fall down)
I feel it's gonna rain like this, rain like this (so let the rain fall down)
I feel it's gonna rain like this





I feel it's gonna rain

Overall Meaning

The opening lines of Creed's song "Rain" reveal a person who feels stuck and is seeking help from someone else. They feel trapped between their current life and the light or brightness of something better, but they can't figure out how to bridge the gap. Despite feeling this way a thousand times before, they still wonder if there's something more that they're missing. This person is clearly struggling with understanding the meaning of being whole again and is caught between the truth and its consequences. The lyrics touch on themes of searching for something more significant than the present situation, feeling lost and struggling to figure out what it is that can make one feel whole again.


The chorus shifts to a metaphorical forecast of rain that is going to last for days, and the singer hopes that the rain will wash away everything problematic in their life. They want a fresh start where the sun will shine, and every tomorrow comes with new hope. The rain could represent a cleansing, a shedding of the old skin or a new beginning that will create the opportunity for growth and change. We see the use of repetition in the lyrics; the phrase 'I feel it's gonna rain like this for days' is repeated thrice, emphasizing the strong conviction of the singer that the rain is coming.


Overall, Creed's "Rain" acknowledges the fact that life's not a bed of roses. There are times we get stuck and can't seem to navigate our way through the darkness. The rain is a perfect metaphor that captures the idea of long-lasting adversity that one needs to weather out before something good happens. Ultimately, the song conveys a sense of hope that things will get better soon, one way or another.

It's safe to say that I'm stuck again
Trapped between this life and the light
I just can't figure out, how to make it right...

A thousand times before
I've wondered if there's something more... something more...

I feel it's gonna rain like this for days
So let it rain down and wash everything away
I hope that tomorrow the sun will shine
With every tomorrow comes another life...

I feel it's gonna rain, for days and days
(I feel it's gonna rain)
I tried to figure out, I can't understand...
What it means... to be whole again...
Trapped between the truth and the consequence
Nothing's real, nothing's making sense...

A thousand times before
I've wondered if there's something more... something more...

I feel it's gonna rain like this for days
So let it rain down and wash everything away
I hope that tomorrow the sun will shine
I feel it's going to rain like this... rain like this... rain like this...

Fall down, wash away my yesterdays
Fall down, so let the rain fall down on me...

I feel it's gonna rain like this for days
Let it rain down and wash everything away
I hope that tomorrow the sun will shine
I feel it's going to rain like this... rain like this...

So let the rain fall...
I feel it's gonna rain like this... rain like this...
So let the rain fall down...
I feel it's gonna rain like this...

I feel it's gonna rain.
