Summer Rain
Ran Nir Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Maybe it's bad timing that always makes you fail
Maybe it's your thoughts, you just need to rearrange
And maybe it's just another season's changed
Maybe this time it is her or him or them
Yourself you just can not seem to blame
Maybe you just don't know how to play the game
Just the same, they keep on changing
Another season's changed
Maybe it's the way your parents raised you
Maybe it's the lover who betrayed you
Either way, it feels like summer rain
Perhaps it's just another season's changed
Another season's changed
The lyrics of "Summer Rain" by Ran Nir are reflective and contemplative about the reasons for certain failures and changes in life. The lyrics suggest that the reasons for such changes could be due to a lack of understanding or miscommunication between people, bad timing, our own thoughts and perspectives, or just the natural shift of seasons. The first two lines in the first and second verses respectively indicate that some individuals may not be the best listeners or may have a tendency to fail when timing is critical. The following lines suggest that rearranging our thoughts or realizing that it is just another season's changed might be the solution to such problems.
The third verse looks at a broader and more abstract perspective on fault by inferring that sometimes we just cannot blame anyone, not even ourselves, for our shortcomings. The next line may suggest that we need to learn the right way to play the game of life, which could mean understanding the difference between what we can control and what we can't. The last line of the verse connects to the previous verses with mention of the changing seasons, indicating that life is ever-evolving and constantly changing. The repetition of "just another season's changed" throughout the song may refer to the cyclical nature of life, that things come and go, just like the seasons.
