Legend
Kamaliya feat. Anne Judith Stokke Wik Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I let it fall, my heart
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
Without falling to your feet

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 is 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
Where it felt something die
'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
Where it felt something die
'Cause I knew that that was the last time, the last time, oh, oh

Oh no
Let it burn
Oh oh oh
Let it burn
Oh oh oh




Let it burn
Oh oh oh

Overall Meaning

In the song "Set Fire to the Rain," Kamaliya feat. Anne Judith Stokke Wik talk about a turbulent romantic relationship. The lyrics describe the moment when the singer's heart falls, and the person she is singing to claims it. The relationship was dark, and she was over, but the person kissing her lips saved her. The singer admits that her hands are strong, but her knees were far too weak to stand in this person's arms without falling at their feet. Despite thinking that she knew everything about this person, she discovers a different side of them, and their words and games were never true. However, she still sets fire to the rain, watched it pour as she touched this person's face, and let it burn while crying out their name.


When the singer lays with this person, she feels like she can stay with them forever, and nothing is better. But again, she discovers their deceitful side, and despite being over, she cannot help herself from sometimes waking up by the door, looking for them. In the end, the singer sets fire to the rain again and throws them both into the flames where something dies, and she knows it's the last time.
