As Raindrops Fell
Hey Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Once I was swept away by a glance
Came to some pearly gates holy land (and all)
Could of earned some grace
If cared but of that bread

I've tasted my share (it burns) mine
Was the life of a snug embryo yet
My dreams blazed with fire blood and pain
(It's) and realized it was death

I saw all just staring helpless
As raindrops fell
I lost an eye contemplating the past
There will be no statute to honor those days (the last)

I was snubbing life




Its word just savoring the greenest of grass (absurd)
As raindrops fell

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Hey's song "As Raindrops Fell" tell a story of a person who once had the opportunity to gain some kind of salvation or redemption but didn't care enough to take it. The opening lines describe how the person was entranced by someone's gaze and ended up at "pearly gates holy land," suggesting that they were given a chance to do something good, something that could have earned them grace. But the person is dismissive, saying they "could of earned some grace / If cared but of that bread" - essentially admitting that they didn't care enough about the opportunity presented to them.


The second verse continues in the same vein, with the person describing their life as that of a "snug embryo" - perhaps implying that they have lived a sheltered, comfortable life. Despite this, their dreams were intense, full of "fire blood and pain." It's not entirely clear what these dreams represent, but they seem to suggest a desire for something more dangerous and exciting than what they have always known. The line "and realized it was death" could be interpreted a few different ways - perhaps the person realizes that their dreams will never be fulfilled, that they will always be trapped in their comfortable existence. Or maybe the person has realized that their dreams would have led them down a destructive path. Either way, their dreams are ultimately unfulfilled, leading to a sense of emptiness and loss.


The final lines of the song describe a scene in which the person is watching raindrops fall and remembers the past. They have lost something - perhaps their chance at redemption, perhaps their dreams - and there will be "no statute to honor those days." The song ends on a somewhat ambiguous note, with the person acknowledging that they were "snubbing life / Its word just savoring the greenest of grass" - in other words, they were focused on their own comfort and pleasure rather than on anything greater. As raindrops fall, they are left to ponder their past and wonder what could have been.


Line by Line Meaning

Once I was swept away by a glance
I was immediately drawn in by someone's looks


Came to some pearly gates holy land (and all)
I found myself in a place that seemed almost heavenly


Could of earned some grace
There was an opportunity for me to gain favor or forgiveness


If cared but of that bread
If I had only been concerned with material things


I've tasted my share (it burns) mine
I've had my fair share of painful experiences


Was the life of a snug embryo yet
I had been living in a comfortable, protected state


My dreams blazed with fire blood and pain
My aspirations were intense and filled with struggle


(It's) and realized it was death
I came to the stark realization that my dreams were not worth the cost


I saw all just staring helpless
I watched as everyone looked on without being able to do anything to help


As raindrops fell
Everything seemed to be falling apart


I lost an eye contemplating the past
I regretted things I had done, and it felt like I had lost something important


There will be no statute to honor those days (the last)
There will be no lasting tribute to those days that are gone


I was snubbing life
I was ignoring opportunities and not fully engaging with life


Its word just savoring the greenest of grass (absurd)
I was only focused on enjoying the most basic pleasures, which seems ridiculous now


As raindrops fell
The situation continued to deteriorate

Dokładnie. Napisałaś to 4 lata temu, a ja sięgnąłem po niego dziś, w 2021, po chyba 10 latach nie słuchania go. Pozdrawiam.
