Slick Idiot's music is more than club-worthy, with pulsating beats and swift synthetic sounds, but it also contains a solid industrial metal foundation with thrashing innovation by Günter's unique guitar stylings and En Esch's funky beats and gruff vocals. Add to it, soul, provided by vocalist Erica Dilanjian and the additional programming and live drumming of Gregg Ziemba, and Slick Idiot provides many points of sonic titillation.
Since its inception Slick Idiot has released 3 studio albums ("DickNity", "Screwtinized" and "Sucksess") along with 2 remix albums ("ReDickulous" and "xScrewciating"). The band followed each release with a major U.S. tour and recently completed the "In The Flesh Tour" to promote the new release of "Sucksess", which saw the band play 44 cities from coast to coast.
Let It Rain
Slick Idiot Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm digging your style since the first time i felt you.
You changed my life, i was transformed by love,
but it's all gone dark, really, we need to talk.
You're a sugar-sweet devil with a killer instinct,
rock 'n' roll never dies, no it never will sink,
push me to the limit, rock me even harder,
Outrageous, outrageous, suspicious and contagious !
I am gonna spread my wings,
(i love the way you move, baby)
you're nothing but a bad ass fling,
(right on, right on)
better stop to touch my things....
(i love the way you groove, baby)
your simple mind don't get my hints.
(oh,what's wrong, baby ?)
Cry, cry, let it rain,
awaiting a brand-new day,
justify your last temptation,
you are an ego driven freak,
your job here is complete.
Ah, ah, you don't believe in my needs,
you poison my dreams,
you think you'll succeed but you can't break my will.
It is time for a scene, come on take a stand,
no, no, no nothing is fair but i know who i am,
there is no one to ask for the way to go back,
we lost our way, baby, I'm feeling sad.
You're a sugar-sweet devil with a killer instinct,
rock 'n' roll never dies, no it never will sink,
push me to the limit, rock me even harder,
if it's not one thing, woman, it is an other.
Outrageous, outrageous, ambitious and contagious !
Thought i found that special click,
(i love the way you move, baby)
I'm about to lose my head,
(oh,what's wrong, baby ?)
When it's over will you care ?
(i wanna be yours, baby)
i am not your little trick,
(right on, right on)
cry, cry, let it rain,
awaiting a brand-new day,
please god help me out of this,
i'm starting over, quit the game,
why then does it rain ??
Outrageous, outrageous, ambitious and contagious
outrageous, outrageous, suspicious and contagious
push me to the limit, rock me even harder
push me to the limit, rock me even harder......
Cry, cry, let it rain
cry, cry, let it rain
cry.....
The lyrics to Slick Idiot's song Let it Rain depict a tumultuous relationship between two lovers. The singer narrates how he initially fell in love with the woman in question, but how their relationship has now turned sour. There is a clear power dynamic between the two, with the woman portrayed as a "sugar-sweet devil with a killer instinct" who pushes the singer to his limits. He grapples with his love for her and his knowledge that she is harmful to him, with lines such as "Thought I found that special click" and "I am not your little trick" indicating his internal struggle. The chorus with its repeated use of "cry, cry, let it rain" adds to the melancholic tone of the song.
Throughout the lyrics, there is also a sense of anger and betrayal, with the singer feeling as though he has been manipulated and hurt by the woman. There is a clear call for confrontation in the lines "It is time for a scene, come on take a stand" and "Justify your last temptation". However, the tone remains one of resignation rather than resolution, with the singer ultimately embracing the pain and tears that his relationship has brought him.
Overall, Let it Rain stands out as a powerful and emotional portrayal of a toxic relationship, highlighting the conflicting emotions that often accompany heartbreak.
