Line by Line Meaning
On a grey, rainy day when the small streams turn into engorged torrents
During a gloomy, wet day when tiny creeks swell into overwhelming rivers
As you hear footsteps behind you, do you ever wonder, is it your past catching up with you?
Do you ever question if the individual approaching from behind is a reminder of your previous actions?
Will these rains cleanse you and wash away your transgressions?
Can the pouring rain purify you and absolve your wrongful deeds?
Or, will a drowning world reach out to take you in its embrace?
Alternatively, will the flooded world consume and overwhelm you?
Even vagrant thoughts originate someplace and such fears aren't without basis.
Even fleeting ideas stem from somewhere and fears may have substantiated sources.
After all, the guilty know well who they are. They know what they've done. And so do we.
Ultimately, those responsible understand their actions and we're aware of them as well.
Sleep with one eye open. The rain may fall sooner than you think.
Stay alert, as the storm may happen unexpectedly.
