Rainmaker
Hailaker Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It won't go away.
Tenfold,
My love′s
Indebted in...
Come make it,
Come make the rain fall,
If I'd known,
It′d escalate...
Save for my love,
Oh, I can′t go far wrong.
Come make it,
Come make the rain fall,
Come shape it,
Come make the waveform,
Come face it,
Come when you're dead and gone,
Don′t wait a day more.
Your eyes, they move along, they don't recall,
Only your eyes, they move along, they don′t retrieve,
Only you're right, I had it wrong, so I′ll retreat.
The lyrics to Hailaker's song Rainmaker seem to be about a love that is all-consuming, as represented by the line "My love's indebted in...". The singer seems to be pleading with someone to bring rain, a physical manifestation of their emotional turmoil. The repetition of "Come make it, come make the rain fall" conveys a sense of urgency and longing. The line "If I'd known, It'd escalate...Save for my love, Oh, I can't go far wrong" suggests that perhaps the singer didn't realize how intense their love would be until it was too late, but now that it has escalated, they know that their love is worth fighting for.
The second verse of the song seems to be a plea to the person who the singer is addressing. The lines "Come shape it, come make the waveform, Come face it, Come when you're dead and gone" suggest that the singer wants this person to take charge of their relationship and help them navigate their emotions. The last verse of the song is a lamentation of sorts, as the singer realizes that they were wrong about something in their relationship and must retreat. The line "Only you're right, I had it wrong, so I’ll retreat" suggests that the singer is willing to concede their faults in order to salvage their relationship.
