Let It Rain
David Nial Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
you know, is gunna change everything
Living with the shame,
it ain't nothing like the pain that I saw on her face
Now me and my pile of things
that she threw out the window,
Drowning next to me
No seven years of good cant hide the one night I forgot to wear that ring
So let it rain, let it pour, she don't love me anymore,
Just let it come down on me, let it come down on me,
Every word, let it hurt, even more than I deserve,
Let it come down on me, let it come down on me, let it rain
last thing I remember was the unfamiliar taste of someone on my lips,
It's to late to turn around,
When the shades start coming down,
The guilt you feels the last thing on your mind
So let it rain, let it pour, if she don't love me anymore,
Just let it come down on me, let it come down on me,
Every word, let it hurt, even more than I deserve,
just let it come down on me, let it come down on me, let it rain
So let it rain, let it pour, if she don't love me anymore,
Just let it come down on me, let it come down on me,
every word, let it hurt, even more than I deserve, just let it come down on me,
let it come down on me, let it rain,
Ooh let it rain,
ooh let it rain,
just let it rain,
just let it rain,
ooh let it rain
In David Nail's song "Let It Rain," the singer is grappling with the aftermath of an affair with someone other than his significant other. He knows that what he did is going to change everything, and the shame he feels is incomparable to the pain he sees on her face. He's left with nothing, all of his things thrown out the window, and he's drowning in it all. The guilt is consuming him, and he can't seem to escape from it. The chorus of the song, "Let it rain, let it pour," is a plea to the universe to rain down on him with whatever consequences he deserves. He's willing to face any punishment, as long as he can finally be absolved of the guilt that's eating him alive.
The singer isn't trying to excuse what he did, but he knows that he can't undo it. He's resigned himself to the fact that he's lost his love, and the only thing left to do is let it rain down on him. He knows that every word is going to hurt, and he's prepared for that. He's not asking for forgiveness, just for the universe to give him what he deserves.
Overall, "Let It Rain" is a poignant representation of the remorse one can feel after making a grave mistake, especially in romantic relationships. The song's plea to face the consequences of one's actions is a powerful message about accountability, one that emphasizes the importance of owning up to one's mistakes rather than hiding from them.

One of my all time favorite songs of any genre. Soulful, real emotion. Pay attention everyone. As Steven Stills once wrote,"Love the one you're with"
@malthenielsen9389
Even though I never cheated, I still did some bad things that I just couldn’t make up for. The pain on her face when I realised what I had done will always stick with me. This song hits very hard, because I know that I deserve every single drop of pain that I have now. And it’s not easy. I am happy Mr. Nail is able to express what I’ve been thinking in this song.
