In the rain
Edenbridge Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Raindrops fall from the sky
The eagle above never wonders
'bout all the feelings gone by
The flower buds open their hearts
They're begging for water to fall
As they're starting to fill up my senses
[Chorus]
Falling far beyond the horizon
Falling in my and your lane
Falling in fear as the ground comes near
They're falling in the rain
They're falling in the rain
Throstle in the tree can you hear me
Let me hear singing your tune
Stars in the sky let me be part
When we take a dance with the moon
Butterfly open your wings
Woodpecker answer my call
Walking in midst the silence
Where I hear the raindrops fall
[Chorus]
In silence they roam in the grass
In silence they drop on a stone
In masses they fall from heaven above
But when they fall they die alone
[Chorus]
The lyrics of Edenbridge's song "In the Rain" paint a beautiful picture of walking along a river while it's raining. The first verse talks about raindrops falling from the sky while an eagle above doesn't seem to care about the feelings that have gone by. The second verse describes the flower buds opening their hearts, begging for water to fall as they fill up the senses. The chorus talks about falling in fear as the ground comes near, falling in the rain. The lyrics suggest a feeling of being one with nature, and the natural world around us.
The lyrics also mention different animals and creatures like the throstle, butterfly, and woodpecker. They seem to be calling out to these creatures, asking them to join in the experience of the rain. The lyrics also suggest a certain sadness and loneliness that comes with falling rain. In the third verse, the lyrics talk about raindrops falling silently on the grass and stones, alone and unnoticed.
Overall, Edenbridge's "In the Rain" is a beautiful song that captures the beauty and sadness that is associated with rainfall. It's a song that tells a story of connecting with nature and finding beauty in the simplicity of life.
Line by Line Meaning
I'm walking along the river
I am walking beside a river
Raindrops fall from the sky
Water droplets are descending from above
The eagle above never wonders
The bird in the sky does not ponder
'bout all the feelings gone by
About all the past emotions
The flower buds open their hearts
The flower's blooms are opening themselves up
They're begging for water to fall
They are pleading for precipitation
As they're starting to fill up my senses
As they are beginning to stimulate my faculties
I recognize them all
I am familiar with each of them
Falling far beyond the horizon
Descending towards the limit of vision
Falling in my and your lane
Descending into our path
Falling in fear as the ground comes near
Descending with trepidation as the terrain approaches
They're falling in the rain
They are descending amidst the precipitation
Throstle in the tree can you hear me
Songbird in the tree, are you able to hear me
Let me hear singing your tune
Grant me the opportunity to listen to your melody
Stars in the sky let me be part
Celestial objects in the sky, allow me to participate
When we take a dance with the moon
When we engage in movement with the lunar body
Butterfly open your wings
Butterfly, unfurl your wings
Woodpecker answer my call
Bird hammering on wood, reply to my request
Walking in midst the silence
I am traversing through a hush
Where I hear the raindrops fall
In a location where I am able to perceive the precipitation
In silence they roam in the grass
Silently they wander in the vegetation
In silence they drop on a stone
Quiety falling upon a rock
In masses they fall from heaven above
Descend en masse from the sky above
But when they fall they die alone
But when they plunge, they perish solitarily
