Storm
Papercut Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Like a wound in the sky
That's when the pain comes in
Alone I lie
Feeling astray
Without an after or a when
Left with faded memories
Rain pouring down
Beats down like loss
Have you heard the rain?
Rain pouring down
Beats down like loss
Can you hear the rain?
And the clouds
The clouds will part
And the sun
The sun will shine
Someday
But not today
Outside the dark
Inside the storm
This heart with no melody
Without a hope
Sometimes it's hard
To carry on
This great weight of life
When was it born?
Rain pouring down
Beats down like loss
Have you heard the rain?
Rain pouring down
Beats down like loss
Can you hear the rain?
And the clouds
The clouds will part
And the sun
The sun will shine
Someday
But not today
Rain pouring down
Beats down like loss
Have you heard the rain?
Rain pouring down
Beats down like loss
Can you hear the rain?
The lyrics of the song 'Storm' by Papercut depict the pain and despair that an individual goes through when they are hit by a storm, both literally and figuratively. The metaphor of a storm is used to depict the hard times that we encounter in life, and how it often feels like the rain pouring down beats down like loss. The beginning of the lyrics visualize the grey clouds splitting open like a wound in the sky, thereby emphasizing the suddenness and the unexpected nature of such hard times. It is during such times that the pain comes in, and the individual is forced to confront their feelings of being alone and astray without any clarity about the future.
The lyrics describe the feeling of being stuck in the present moment, without an 'after or a when.' This deep sense of helplessness is compounded by the memories of happier times that have now faded, leaving behind a bleak future. The rain pouring down is a reminder of the loss and hurt that the individual is experiencing, while the metaphor of clouds parting and the sun shining someday provides hope that one day, this storm will pass. The chorus repeatedly asks if the listener can hear the rain and if they've heard the rain, emphasizing the universality of this experience of loss and despair.
Overall, the lyrics of 'Storm' by Papercut are a poignant reminder of the temporary nature of pain and hardship in life, while also emphasizing the importance of acknowledging and validating such emotions.

As grey clouds split
When the previously dark and ominous clouds crack open
Like a wound in the sky
They look like a gash or rip in the otherwise continuous sky
That's when the pain comes in
That's when the emotional pain starts to seep in
Alone I lie
I am by myself, feeling isolated
Feeling astray
Feeling lost, disoriented or without direction
Without an after or a when
Without any sense of future or past, or any idea of what comes next
Left with faded memories
Only memories that are becoming dim with time, losing their clarity and meaning

A future that feels hollow and lacking in purpose

Inside the storm
Internally, there's a tumultuous emotional experience going on
This heart with no melody
