The Rain
Reconcile Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And we will never rest
The ghosts will not let us.
We can't forgive the crimes
And the blood that was shed
The undertakers are still free
Thirty years in pain
We're soaken wet.
Whats missing can't be replaced
There's a hole in the sky
Thirty thousand stars faded away.
We won't forget, WE CAN'T FORGIVE!!
Anything of what you did to them.
Thirty years in pain
Waiting under the rain
We're soaken wet... WET IN PAIN!
Thirty years in pain
Waiting under the rain
We're soaken wet.
WE WON'T FORGET!
Anything of what you did to them.
WE CAN'T FORGIVE!
Anything of what you did to them.
WE WON'T FORGIVE!!
Anything of what you did to them.
WE CAN'T FORGIVE!!
Anything of what you did to them.
Forget. Forgive. Forget.
WE WON'T FORGET!
WE WON'T FORGET!
WE CAN'T FORGIVE!!
WE CAN'T FORGIVE!!
The lyrics to Reconcile's song "The Rain" are heavy and emotional, carrying themes of pain, loss, and the struggle for justice. The first stanza conveys the idea that the faces of those who were wronged will never be forgotten, and the ghosts of the past will continue to haunt those responsible for the crimes. The second stanza emphasizes the inability to forgive the crimes committed and the blood that was shed, while also pointing out that the ones responsible are still free. The third stanza takes a poetic turn, describing the sense of loss as a hole in the sky where 30,000 stars have faded away. The repetition of "We won't forget, we can't forgive" throughout the song highlights the feeling of powerlessness over the situation, yet also serves as a resolute statement of determination.
The chorus is what brings everything home, conveying the amount of pain and waiting that has gone on for 30 years. The repeated phrase "we're soaken wet" serves as a metaphor for how the pain has consumed and overwhelmed the singers. The last stanza hammers home the point that forgetting and forgiving is not an option, declaring that "we can't forgive anything of what you did to them" four times.
