Rainy Saturday
Kemuri Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Rainy Saturday, We always
light the candles, yeah!
And wonder what we should do
Whatever we're gonna do,
Better things are going to
I'll always be there to help you
Rainy Saturday
don't let the lights go off

You get your freedom
so follow your soul
Lonely it will be but
everything's gonna be alright
If we don't let "the society"
blow off our lights
Even though we're so far apart
These burning lights will
never go off,
I know and I know we know
So when the sun goes up
It's the time for both of us
to start to face the new day
The past goes down with sunset,
and the future brings sunrise
The monument came to both of us
to open the doors
Scary it will be but
everything's gonna be alright
If we don't let the fear
close our eyes
Rainy Saturday,
we're gonna make it alright!
Rainy Saturday,
we're gonna make it alright!

Rainy Saturday
don't let the lights go off!
You got your freedom
so follow your soul
Lonely it will be but
everything's gonna be alright!
If we don't let "the society"
blow off our lights
Rainy Saturday,
we're gonna make it alright
Rainy Saturday,
we're gonna make it alright
Rainy Saturday,
we're gonna make it alright
Rainy Saturday,

we're gonna make it alright
Rainy Saturday...
