Listen to the Rain
Plazma Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Listen to the rain, widow
Listen to the rain
Teardrops of the killed
Seeking their widows
Listen to the wind, orphan
Listen to the wind
The killed
Are calling their babies

Oh merciful sovereigns
All your good intentions
Tell me are they worth
A baby's cry?
Oh what do they do?
Lord, what do they do?
Is their justice worth
A harmless child's blood?

Listen to the rain
Teardrops of the killed
Seeking their widows
Listen to the wind, orphan
Listen to the wind




The killed
Are calling their babies

Overall Meaning

The song "Listen to the Rain" by Plazma is a poignant and powerful commentary on the carnage of war and the futility of human conflict. The lyrics suggest that the rain and the wind are symbolic of the tears and cries of those affected by war - the widows left behind and the orphans who are left to grow up without their parents. The tears of those who have lost their loved ones in the fighting are compared to the rain, while the cries of the children who have been left behind are compared to the wind. This creates a haunting and melancholic atmosphere, which is further enhanced by the somber tone of the music.


The lyrics go on to question the morality of those in power who wage wars and justify them with grandiose words and phrases. The singers ask if the good intentions of those in power are worth the tears and cries of those who are affected by war. They question the very idea of justice when it is achieved through the shedding of innocent blood. It is a commentary on the devastating impact of war on ordinary people and their families, and a plea for peace and understanding.


Overall, "Listen to the Rain" is a moving and powerful song that gives voice to the pain and suffering caused by war. The lyrics are emotive and thought-provoking, and the music helps to create a sense of melancholy and loss that is hard to forget.

@Alevtin_Dark_Messiah

Я давно знаю эту песню, но только сегодня удосужился посмотреть перевод. Народ, слов нет... Я в шоке... Это не просто песня - это мемориал скорби...
На эту песню просто нужен клип. Можно что-то созвучное, кельтское, фэнтези, как правильно было замечено ранее, - эльфийское.
Хотя я вижу эту песню темой под нарезку грустных моментов из аниме (AMV) про тех же эльфов - таких полно. Или про войну - таких тоже хватает. Может прочтёт кто-то с прямыми руками и запилит? Буду благодарен. >^_^< :o)

Жаль, клипа нет. Что-нибудь романтично-эльфийское. У меня есть рассказ, идея которого возникла под эту музыку.
