Rainmaker
Sail To North Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

My mind's so far away
Cause I did not find the solace that I wanted
I guess lucid dreams can't evermore temper it
I Woke up in sweat again, you haunt me in my sleep
You said you'll never abandon a sunken friend
I'll never spend my time with you anymore
Cause i'm still sore
I tried to mend what seems broken
It's maybe the difference between you and me
But I follow my dreams as I bury my nightmares
Nothing can change this

You can't break me down, you're not running faster
And I'm not racing
Behind dirty towns there are some pretty bays
I wanna go away
I dream to soar every day
Cause every day, rises from the ocean
A chance to escape

Right now I am all alone in the crowd
I feel fine on my own
I rely on nobody
I can follow my way, this is the best solution
You stay here again waiting for some action
Your road is a straight line and mine seems bent
Across raging winds, headstrong and standing

You can't break me down, you're not running faster
And I'm not racing
Behind dirty towns there are some pretty bays
I wanna go away
I dream to soar every day
Cause every day, rises from the ocean
A chance to escape

You're making the rain fall on me
To grow my roots in these bad lands




AS A RAINMAKER
You've missed it and you broke up the fence

Overall Meaning

In "Rainmaker" by Sail To North, the lyrics tell the story of an individual who is struggling with their own mental demons. The singer wakes up sweating and haunted by someone who promised that they would never abandon them. The singer, however, concludes that they cannot spend their time with this person anymore as they are still dealing with the pain that this individual caused them. Throughout the song, there's a sense of separation between the singer and this person, as they are going in different directions. The singer is following their dreams, burying their nightmares, and dreaming of escape with each new day. Meanwhile, the other person is stuck waiting for action to happen, unable to break free from a straight path.


The lyrics use imagery to bring the story to life. Dirty towns are contrasted against pretty bays, emphasizing the need for escape from difficult situations. The idea of following dreams while burying nightmares shows a determination to push through adversity. The singer stays strong and independent, not relying on anyone else to find their own way. The title of the song, "Rainmaker," serves as a metaphor for someone who causes pain and hardship, yet at the same time, can provide the sustenance for growth and new life. The singer concludes that they are on a different path from this person, with their road seemingly bent while the other person's is straight.


Line by Line Meaning

My mind's so far away
My thoughts are distant and unconnected to reality


Cause I did not find the solace that I wanted
I am struggling to find comfort or peace


I guess lucid dreams can't evermore temper it
Even when I dream vividly, it can't fully ease my mind


I Woke up in sweat again, you haunt me in my sleep
I keep having nightmares about a person who still lingers in my mind


You said you'll never abandon a sunken friend
You promised loyalty to a friend in trouble


I'll never spend my time with you anymore
I cannot continue to be in the company of someone who hurt me


Cause i'm still sore
I'm still emotionally hurt from the past


I tried to mend what seems broken
I attempted to repair something that appeared damaged


It's maybe the difference between you and me
Perhaps the dissimilarity caused conflict between us


But I follow my dreams as I bury my nightmares
I hold onto my aspirations and forget the bad memories


Nothing can change this
I won't be swayed from following my own dreams and beliefs


You can't break me down, you're not running faster
I won't let anyone defeat me; they don't have more determination


And I'm not racing
I won't compete with others or feel rushed


Behind dirty towns there are some pretty bays
Hidden among unpleasant surroundings are wonderfully beautiful places


I wanna go away
I want to escape from where I am


I dream to soar every day
I aspire to achieve my goals and reach new heights daily


Cause every day, rises from the ocean
Each day is a new opportunity and a fresh start


A chance to escape
An occasion to break free from past struggles and move forward


Right now I am all alone in the crowd
I feel isolated among many others


I feel fine on my own
I don't need anyone else to be happy


I rely on nobody
I don't depend on anyone else; I stand on my own


I can follow my way, this is the best solution
I can choose my own path and it's the best option for me


You stay here again waiting for some action
You wait around for something to happen, not taking any initiative


Your road is a straight line and mine seems bent
Your path is clear and uncomplicated, unlike mine


Across raging winds, headstrong and standing
I remain determined despite facing harsh obstacles


You're making the rain fall on me
Your negativity affects me like rain pouring down


To grow my roots in these bad lands
I must establish myself and grow stronger in difficult circumstances


AS A RAINMAKER
As someone who brings change and growth, even in difficult times


You've missed it and you broke up the fence
You failed to understand something and caused damage
