When It Rains
Mal Hombre Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When will you come to kiss this wound
I broke it up some more for you
When the rain pours down, beautiful to drown
There's something that you left, my love

I think I am afraid of me
There's something I'd like you to see
When the rain pours down, beautiful to drown
I'm watching over you, my love

When the rain pours down, beautiful to drown
When it starts to rain, it will ease the pain





I've touched this ground before, it's cold
The old familiar smell, mmhhh

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Mal Hombre's song "When It Rains" are filled with emotion and seem to be telling a story of heartbreak and longing. The opening line, "When will you come to kiss this wound," suggests that the singer is in pain and waiting for someone to comfort them. This is followed by the line "I broke it up some more for you," which could mean that the singer made their pain worse just to get the attention of the person they are waiting for.


The chorus, "When the rain pours down, beautiful to drown," creates a metaphor for the singer's emotions. The rain represents the sadness and pain they are experiencing, and the idea of drowning in it suggests that they are overwhelmed by these feelings. The next line, "There's something that you left, my love," implies that the person who the singer is waiting for has left them and is the cause of their pain.


The second verse begins with "I think I am afraid of me," which suggests that the singer is afraid of their own emotions and how they are reacting to their heartbreak. They then say, "There's something I'd like you to see," which could mean that they want the person they are waiting for to see how much they are hurting. The chorus is repeated, emphasizing the idea that the rain represents the singer's emotions and the pain they are feeling.


The final line of the song, "I've touched this ground before, it's cold / The old familiar smell," suggests that the singer has been through heartbreak before and is experiencing similar feelings again. The song ends on a hopeful note, with the line "When it starts to rain, it will ease the pain," implying that the singer believes that the rain (representing their emotions) will eventually pass and they will feel better.
