Rain Brain
Forever Lesbians Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I often (?)
Often ready for some change
But not that kind of change
What kind of change? I don't know
Beds take cover
I'll be back tomorrow
Silver summer
Take us in beneath your shadow
The ember fields of grain
My shoes are wet from all the rain
But not just drizzling
Your brains are filled with stormy things
Sleepy heads
Trying to gey out from all the sand




Ordinary
Every Single way you turn

Overall Meaning

The song Rain Brain by Forever Lesbians is a thought-provoking one that touches on a few themes. It is hard to miss the melancholy feel of the track that is set right from the beginning, which is created by the mellow sound of the music and the calm nature of the vocals. The opening lines of "I often (?) Often ready for some change", could be interpreted in different ways, but it seems to convey the idea that the singer is ready for some excitement or adventure.


However, in the next line, "But not that kind of change / What kind of change? I don't know", the singer expresses hesitancy towards change. This could suggest that while the prospect of change is exciting, it is also scary and uncertain. The lines "Beds take cover / I'll be back tomorrow / Silver summer / Take us in beneath your shadow" could be interpreted as the singer seeking comfort and safety in something familiar, like their bed or a season like summer.


The line "The ember fields of grain / My shoes are wet from all the rain / But not just drizzling / Your brains are filled with stormy things" takes a turn towards something darker. The rain in this line may be a metaphor for something negative or painful, while "your brains are filled with stormy things" could refer to someone close to the singer who is going through a turbulent time. The final set of lines "Sleepy heads / Trying to get out from all the sand / Ordinary / Every single way you turn" might denote a feeling of wanting to break free from something oppressive or mundane.
