Rainfall
Nitin Sawhney; Taio Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Like to know whats..going on
In this world we're living on
There's so much poverty all around me
This insanity that surrounds me
there's the world that seem so far away
Peoples lives changing everyday
[Chorus: x4]
OOh no
I can hear the rainfall
Like to know when you and I
Will stop walking and passing by
So much ignorance that my eyes see
And my experience cannot blind me
'Tis the world seems so far from here
Seasons change and the rain is near
[Chorus]
Like to find a new reality
Something more than this fantasy
No more false streams
No more mind games
I can even see through this dark frame
There's the world seems so far away
Peoples lives changing everyday
[Chorus]
The lyrics of Nitin Sawhney's song "Rainfall" explore the artist's observations of the world around him and his desire for a better reality. The song begins with a sense of curiosity and a yearning to understand what is happening in the world. Sawhney mentions poverty and the insanity that surrounds him, highlighting the struggles that many people face. He then goes on to talk about how the world seems so far away, which could be interpreted as a feeling of disconnect or disassociation from the reality of poverty and struggle.
The chorus of the song repeatedly reinforces the concept of rainfall, perhaps as a metaphor for change or renewal. The lyrics "I can hear the rainfall" suggest that Sawhney is listening for a sign of hope or renewal in the world. Later in the song, he expresses a desire for a new reality, something more than the current fantasy that he feels trapped in. He mentions false streams and mind games, indicating a sense of disillusionment with the way things are.
Overall, the song "Rainfall" is a commentary on the state of the world and a call for change. Nitin Sawhney's lyrics are thought-provoking and insightful, and the music itself is haunting and beautiful, making it a powerful piece of art with a message.
