Rain
Hollow Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Last time we spoke, you had a dream in mind
Wanna hit the coast, leave it all behind
Leave the farm and the field, but like the summer rain
You let it slip away

Last time we spoke, you had a kid to feed
Strawberry blonde, he looks a lot like me
I heard he has a dream
But like the summer rain, don't let him slip away

Last time we spoke, you hit the coast
Sold your daddy's farm, and his old barn




But you said you miss the rain, the way the sun sets on the hay
But like the summer rain, you let it slip away

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Hollow's song "Rain" tell a story of missed opportunities and regrets. The singer is reminiscing about their last conversation with someone who had dreams of leaving their current life behind and pursuing something different. Initially, they talked about hitting the coast and abandoning their farm and field, comparing this desire to the fleeting nature of summer rain slipping away. However, it seems that the person ultimately let go of that dream.


In the second verse, the focus shifts to the person having a child who resembles the singer. Despite having a child and responsibilities to take care of, the person still had dreams, symbolized by the mention of the child having a dream as well. However, like the summer rain, these dreams were also allowed to slip away.


The final verse reveals that the person did go ahead and leave their old life behind. They sold their father's farm and barn, but they express missing the rain and the serene moments when the sun sets on the hay. The imagery of the rain and the sunset represents the nostalgia and longing for simpler times and the beauty that was left behind. Ultimately, it suggests that even though the person made changes, their dreams and desires were still not fully realized and were lost in the process.


Overall, "Rain" captures the bittersweetness of missed opportunities and the sense of longing for what could have been. It explores themes of chasing dreams, making sacrifices, and the consequences of letting go of one's aspirations.
