Autumn Rain
Day One Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Look around, look around
Is there something I'm missing here?
Is there something I should know?
And just listen to the sound
All around there's people living their lives
People passing by
It doesn't matter where you're from
'Cause wherever you are from
You got a long walk home
You got a long walk on
And I've walked for many years
And I've never shed a tear
For a place called home
'Cause in this place I roam...
Everyone's the same
When you're walking in the autumn rain
Walking in the autumn rain
When you're walking from your past
You can never walk too fast
Think you got away at last
Think you got away at last
And we all have to live with our mistakes
But what would it take
To make things right
To feel good inside?
It doesn't matter what you've done
'Cause whatever you've done
Life has to go on
Life has to go on, yeah
And my conscience is always clear every time I am here
Because there is no blame
When you're walking
In the autumn rain
In the autumn rain
The lyrics of Day Oneβs "Autumn Rain" give a vivid description of a person taking a walk in the midst of autumn rain, contemplating on life and its complexities. The song starts with the singer looking around, feeling like there is something missing or that they are missing something important. As they walk and listen to the sound around them, they realize that people are living their lives, passing by, and catching their eye. The singer then reflects on the fact that no matter where someone is from, at the end of the day, they still have a long walk home.
The songβs main theme is the idea of redemption, as highlighted in the chorus. The line "Everyone's the same when youβre walking in the autumn rain" symbolizes that no one is exempt from making mistakes, and everyone must confront their past at some point. The lyric "When you're walking from your past, you can never walk too fast, think you got away at last" is a reminder that despite our attempts to distance ourselves from our past, we have to ultimately face it. The song concludes with a positive message that it doesn't matter what someone has done; life has to go on, and one can still feel good inside.
