Rain Down
Omen Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

A temple one would see a blatant lie
To me that fates corruption
Hear the lies grow as the truth unfolds
But who really cares
To touch a virgin skin
It's just a mortal sin
Were we made man
At the present time
We'll cross the final line
And tear a whole life

How could I know who I am
When life distorts reality
I drink water to be cleansed
Rain down on me

Burn all the family ties
Detach your very soul
Untruthful alibis the lies
We live and stand tall in
The sacred vows we take
The hollow lines we say
What does it mean?
The innocence is lost
A verbal holocaust
Now we reside in the dark

How could I know who I am
When life distorts reality
I drink water to be cleansed
Rain down on me

I crossed the roads of all mankind
And I lived the cost of all my sins
To truth be known I'd trade it in all
You a chance to begin again

Bow to me are words I won't receive
Kings for all makes no sense to me
So seek the inner beings for the right




Heaven and hell won't mix in my convictions
They don't mix

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to "Rain Down" by Omen are a reflection on the corruption and lies that surround us in life. The opening lines suggest that the truth is often concealed within the walls of a temple, indicating that even sacred places can be corrupted. As the song progresses, the singer questions the value of certain societal taboos, wondering if things like virginity are truly important or if they are just meaningless restrictions imposed by others. The lines "Were we made man / At the present time / We'll cross the final line / And tear a whole life" suggest a questioning of our very existence and the impact that our actions have on the world around us.


The chorus of the song reflects a desire for purity amidst the chaos of life. The line "How could I know who I am / When life distorts reality" speaks to the confusion that we all feel at times in trying to understand ourselves and our place in the world. The plea to have rain fall down on the singer is a symbolic act of purification, an attempt to wash away the lies and confusion.


The verses that follow continue to explore the theme of lies and detachment. The "untruthful alibis the lies" underscores the idea that we often create stories to justify our actions, regardless of their moral value. The lines "The innocence is lost / A verbal holocaust / Now we reside in the dark" suggest that when we stray from the truth, we are left in a kind of darkness where it can be difficult to find our way back.


Overall, "Rain Down" is a song about seeking truth and purity in a world that is often corrupted by lies and greed. It is a call to see beyond the surface and strive for a deeper understanding of ourselves and the world around us.


Line by Line Meaning

A temple one would see a blatant lie
What appears to be a holy place is actually a deceitful façade


To me that fates corruption
This is a sign of the fate's dishonorable or immoral intentions


Hear the lies grow as the truth unfolds
As more truth is brought to light, the deception becomes clearer


But who really cares
People are so indifferent that they don't care about this truth at all


To touch a virgin skin
Indulging in this act is viewed as a mortal sin


It's just a mortal sin
This action would condemn you to eternal damnation


Were we made man
What if we were created for a higher purpose


At the present time
Right now, in the midst of uncertainty


We'll cross the final line
We'll eventually go beyond the point of no return


And tear a whole life
And destroy everything in the process


How could I know who I am
Uncertainty about oneself caused by the distortions of reality


When life distorts reality
Life obscures the true nature of things


I drink water to be cleansed
Drinking water to purify oneself


Rain down on me
A plea for help from a higher power


Burn all the family ties
Cutting off all family connections


Detach your very soul
Separating oneself from the core of their being


Untruthful alibis the lies
Excuses for dishonesty are themselves dishonest


We live and stand tall in
We continue to exist, though we may not deserve it


The sacred vows we take
The promises we make are hollow


The hollow lines we say
Our words lack real meaning or sincerity


What does it mean?
The ultimate question of existence and purpose


The innocence is lost
We can't regain our purity or naïveté


A verbal holocaust
The destruction of truth and trust through words


Now we reside in the dark
Our situation is hopeless, with no way out


I crossed the roads of all mankind
Having journeyed along many paths of human experience


And I lived the cost of all my sins
Suffering the consequences of one's actions and mistakes


To truth be known I'd trade it in all
If it would lead to a true understanding of reality, I'd give up everything


You a chance to begin again
The opportunity to start anew, unencumbered by past mistakes


Bow to me are words I won't receive
I don't expect others to worship or respect me


Kings for all makes no sense to me
Opposed to the notion of absolute power wielded by a single individual


So seek the inner beings for the right
The answer lies within ourselves


Heaven and hell won't mix in my convictions
Not inclined to believe in any strict binary between good and evil, divine and demonic


They don't mix
These contradictory concepts cannot coexist or overlap

Lyrics:

If I cloud fall in love, and paint away grey
Before we trun to dust, and fade away
If you cloud fall in love, see the silence break
Would it be enough to ease the pain

Hear me now
I'm calling out
So, can you hear me now?
Just say I haven't lost you
Say you will pray to never go
Hear me now
Just say I haven't lost you...

Give me a direction, so I can find my place
Something to remind me that you still fell the same
Floating in suspension.. it's a waiting game
Looking for an answer, an omen in the rain

all this time, I promise I'll believe you
This time again
All this time, I promise I won't leave you
Not this time again
