Set Fire To The Rain
Jordan Smith Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And as it fell you rose to claim it
It was dark and I was over
Until you kissed my lips and you saved me
My hands, they're strong
But my knees were far too weak
To stand in your arms
But there's a side to you
That I never knew, never knew
All the things you'd say
They were never true, never true
And the games you play
You would always win, always win
But I set fire to the rain
Watched it pour as I touched your face
Well, it burned while I cried
'Cause I heard it screaming Out your name,
Your name
When I lay with you
I could stay there
Close my eyes
Feel you here forever
You and me together nothing gets better
'Cause there's a side to you
That I never knew, never knew
All the things you'd say
They were never true, never true
And the games you play
You would always win, always win
But I set fire to the rain
Watched it pour as I touched your face
Well, it burned while I cried
'Cause I heard it screaming out your name,
Your name
I set fire to the rain
And I threw us into the flames
Well, it felt something died
'Cause I knew that that was
The last time, the last time
Sometimes I wake up by the door,
That heart you caught must be waiting for you
Even now when we're already over
I can't help myself from looking for you
I set fire to the rain
Watched it pour as I touched your face
Well, it burned while I cried
'Cause I heard it screaming Out your name,
Your name
I set fire to the rain,
And I threw us into the flames
Well, it felt something died
'Cause I knew that, that was the last time
The last time
Let it burn
Let it burn
Let it burn
The lyrics of "Set Fire to the Rain" by Jordan Smith are emotive and reflect the pain of an ended relationship. The writer speaks of how they fell deeply in love with their partner, and how it seemed that they were the one to bring light back into their life. However, in the end, things turned out to be different, as they discovered that their lover had a dark side that they never knew about. The writer speaks of how they had seemingly been fooled by their lover's smooth words and manipulations, a theme echoed in these lyrics: "All the things you'd say, they were never true, never true, And the games you play, you would always win, always win."
In the chorus of "Set Fire to the Rain," the writer describes how they "set fire to the rain," watching it "burn" as they cried, screaming their former lover's name. The rain is a metaphor for the tears that were shed over the ended relationship, while the fire is a symbol of the passion, love, and hope that once existed between the two. When the writer says they "threw us into the flames," they likely mean that they tried to rekindle the relationship and their love by putting everything they had into it, only to see it go up in flames. The song ends with the writer admitting it's time to let go and to move on, as they insistently say, "Let it burn."
Line by Line Meaning
I let it fall, my heart,
I allowed my feelings for you to manifest.
And as it fell you rose to claim it
You acknowledged and reciprocated those feelings.
It was dark and I was over
I was in a place of emotional darkness and despair before you came along.
Until you kissed my lips and you saved me
Your love and affection brought me out of that dark place and healed me.
My hands, they're strong
I am capable and determined in many ways.
But my knees were far too weak
However, my emotions overwhelm me and make me vulnerable.
To stand in your arms
Being near you or in your embrace is particularly powerful.
Without falling to your feet
My emotions are so intense that I feel a deep reverence and submission to you.
But there's a side to you
I have begun to see another aspect of your personality.
That I never knew, never knew
I am surprised and taken aback by what I'm discovering.
All the things you'd say
The words that used to comfort me and make me feel valued were empty.
They were never true, never true
These words were not backed up by genuine actions or emotions.
And the games you play
Your behavior often seems to be motivated by the desire to deceive and manipulate others.
You would always win, always win
You are particularly skilled at avoiding detection and achieving your nefarious goals.
But I set fire to the rain
I am expressing my intense passion and overwhelming desire to purge myself of these negative emotions.
Watched it pour as I touched your face
I am intentionally burning the remnants of our relationship, and taking a final moment of contact and intimacy.
Well, it burned while I cried
I experienced intense pain and sadness as I did this.
'Cause I heard it screaming Out your name,
I am associating my emotions and the explosive moment of destruction with you.
Your name
You are the one person who was responsible for everything I am feeling.
When I lay with you
During moments of physical intimacy with you,
I could stay there
I experienced a perfect sense of contentment and happiness.
Close my eyes
I could actually forget all the turmoil and darkness I was feeling internally.
Feel you here forever
I felt a completeness and spiritual union with you that I thought would never end.
You and me together nothing gets better
We were a perfect match, and nothing could interfere with that.
And I threw us into the flames
I deliberately destroyed the source of my own happiness.
Well, it felt something died
I experienced tremendous grief and mourning as a result of this self-destructive act.
'Cause I knew that that was the last time
I was aware that this action marked the end of a once-cherished relationship.
Sometimes I wake up by the door,
As I move on from this, there are still moments when I am disoriented and confused.
That heart you caught must be waiting for you
I realize that you may replace me with someone else.
Even now when we're already over
It's been some time since we parted ways, but my heart still aches.
I can't help myself from looking for you
I am still drawn to the possibility of rekindling what we had, despite the pain that came with it.
Let it burn
I am now resolved to let the pain and negativity run its course, so I can begin to heal and move on.
