Almost Makes Me Wish For Rain
Lucius Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Here we are
Thought you'd have to rescue me
But thankfully it didn't get the best of me
It's not worth a fuss
It's not worth my time
I could lose it but
I'd be out of line
So here we are
On the side of the road
But the sun is out
Lightening my load
Just a flat tire and a helping hand
I could lose it but it's just not so bad

Looking for a scene to cause
But the only thing I see, blue skies ahead of us
Searching for the empty half when somethings filling up the glass
I'm hopeless

It almost makes me wish for rain
When everything begins to go my way
This guilty feeling comes along with it and you know
It almost makes me wish for rain

So what it is about a broken heart
The harder times, the rougher starts
Inspiration feeds off of the deepest scars
And the easy streets well we drive apart

Fall on my head
Bring me to life again
The funny thing is that when I am okay
Oh it makes me wish for rain
I can't pretend
To settle in




When I am not on the edge of the fray
It almost makes me wish for rain

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Lucius’s song “Almost Makes Me Wish for Rain” revolve around the idea of appreciating the good times only after going through a rough patch. The first verse is an account of the singer almost needing to be rescued from something that didn't end up being as bad as they thought. The second verse talks about how the singer is used to looking for the negative aspects of situations, but all they see is blue skies ahead. The refrain, “It almost makes me wish for rain,” acknowledges the feeling of guilt that accompanies being happy after one has gone through a tough time.


The third verse is about how broken hearts and tough times can inspire creativity and how easy times feel shallow. The bridge is a plea to have something shake up their world, bring excitement, and inspire them to live life to the fullest. In the final line, the singer acknowledges that it's hard to settle for a comfortable life after experiencing the excitement and danger of being close to the edge.


The lyrics of this song could be interpreted to mean that sometimes we need a little chaos in our lives to inspire us and that the darkest times can sometimes lead to the creation of the most beautiful art. It is a reminder to appreciate the good times and not take them for granted.
