Cloudburst
Exgenesis Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The day I was born, a raining night
One doomed day, a soul fell from a cold star
The sky could not hold back, and broke

Resounding, overwhelming
Falling, shining

The rain washes all
The memories are
Erased
All is quiet, the voices
Are coming
The storm is growing
The sky is falling

I am the lightning, the rain
Transformed
I am the sky
Falling apart
A cloud across the sky
And a river passing
Through
The land

I forge
In the anvil Of thunders
The blast mutes my fears
The deepest essence
Of my soul
Overflows as a downpour

Resounding, overwhelming
Falling, shining

A Lightning breaks
The stillness of the rain
The shining through the clouds,
The temper
Of
The
Calm

I am the lightning, the rain
Transformed
I am the sky
Falling apart




I am the joy of sorrow
I am a wandering soul

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Exgenesis's song "Cloudburst" describe a momentous event, the singer's birth, that occurred during a night of rain. They suggest that this event was significant, even fateful, due to the circumstances of the rain and the fact that the singer's soul "fell from a cold star." The storm is described as overwhelming, climaxing in a moment when the sky "broke" and the "voices" of the storm grew louder. However, the storm also seems to have a purifying quality, washing away memories and leaving the world quiet and still. Against this backdrop of storm and birth, the singer identifies with the lightning and the rain, transformed and empowered by the intensity of the moment.


The lyrics of "Cloudburst" are rich with powerful imagery and metaphorical language. They invoke the idea of birth as a cosmic event, bringing together the forces of nature and the mysterious workings of the universe. The storm, a classic symbol of chaos and upheaval, is depicted as both destructive and transformative, washing away the old to make way for the new. The singer identifies with the storm, seeing themselves as a force of nature, a part of the grand design. Overall, the song suggests that even in moments of great disarray and uncertainty, there is the potential for growth and change, for transformation, and for the emergence of something new and beautiful.
