Cloudburst
Exgenesis Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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
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.
Line by Line Meaning
The day I was born, a raining night
My existence started on a day filled with despair and melancholy
One doomed day, a soul fell from a cold star
On a fateful day, an entity descended from a distant place of desolation
The sky could not hold back, and broke
The heavens gave in to the overwhelming force of a raging tempest
Resounding, overwhelming
A sensation of immense magnitude, surpassing any limit
Falling, shining
Descending in a dazzling and radiant spectacle
The rain washes all
The tears from above cleanse anything in their path
The memories are
Anything from the past, distant and unreachable
Erased
Vanished or scattered, as if they never existed
All is quiet, the voices
Peaceful and still, without any noise to disturb the surroundings
Are coming
Approaching or making themselves heard after being absent
The storm is growing
The turbulence in the atmosphere is intensifying, heralding a bigger threat
The sky is falling
The firmament itself is crumbling, unable to withstand the tumultuous turmoil
I am the lightning, the rain
I personify the essence of storms and precipitation
Transformed
Changed, metamorphosed into something else
I am the sky
I embody the vast expanse of the heavens above
Falling apart
Disintegrating, breaking apart into nothingness
A cloud across the sky
A vast mass of water vapor extending over the horizon
And a river passing
A continuous flow, meandering through the terrain
Through
Penetrating, permeating every pore and crack
I forge
I create, shape, and strengthen with intense heat and power
In the anvil Of thunders
I use the forces of nature to mold and refine my purpose
The blast mutes my fears
The shockwave from my actions silences any apprehension or uncertainty
The deepest essence
The fundamental core, the essence of one's being
Of my soul
The purest and most intrinsic nature of my existence
Overflows as a downpour
Surging out of control, cascading in a shower of emotions
A Lightning breaks
A sudden and fierce bolt of electricity disrupts the tranquil precipitation
The stillness of the rain
The quiet and serene atmosphere that is interrupted by the storm
The shining through the clouds,
The brilliant light that emanates from the sky, piercing through the cover of water droplets
The temper
The attitude and disposition that follows the sudden outburst
Of
Originating from
The
The one
Calm
The serene and tranquil environment that preceded the storm
I am the joy of sorrow
I am the beauty and elation that emanates from anguish and despair
I am a wandering soul
I am an aimless and restless entity, endlessly seeking a place of belonging
