Edward Maya Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Now I'm awake,
Just hold me tight,
In every dream you're my guiding light.
We, we were lost
This, walk of pain
Just, hold me tight
From this desert rain, you`re my guiding light
We, we were lost,
This, walk of tide
We forgot about love, we forgot about us
Now, I am here, dreams become real
I feel like the sand is blowing away
Into the storm
I'm inside this dream
That feels just like
a desert rain
We, we were lost
This, walk of pain
I miss you so much, now I call again, Come, come tonight
Just, hold me tight
From this desert rain, you`re my guiding light
We, we were lost,
This, walk of tide
We forgot about love, we forgot about us
Now, I am here, dreams become real
I feel like the sand is blowing away
Into the storm
I'm inside this dream
That feels just like
a desert rain
You will always have my soul
Even dreams are secret worlds
Missing you
I feel like the sand is blowing away
Into the storm
I'm inside this dream
That feels just like
a desert rain
The lyrics of the song "Desert Rain" by Edward Maya talk about longing and missing a loved one. The artist feels lost and separated from the person he loves and dreams of being with them again. There is a sense of urgency in his desire to be in the arms of his partner, as he calls for them to come and hold him tightly. The person is described as a guiding light in their life, providing direction and support in difficult times.
Maya uses metaphors to explain his emotions, comparing his dream of being with the loved one as a "desert rain". This may imply that the reunion he hopes for is rare, just like the occurrence of rain in the desert. The feeling of being inside a dream that feels like a desert rain may be interpreted as his longing for something that may never happen but still feels like a comforting thought.
The lyrics can be related to the general human experience of missing someone they love, often leading them to create fantasies or daydreams of being reunited with them. Despite the use of a simple vocabulary and repetitive lyrics, the song gives off an emotional, bittersweet feeling that may resonate with the listener's own longing.
