The Rain
Small Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Lonely is the rain, as it falls to the stone cold ground
Lonely as I am, as I fade to the crushing sound
Of someone elses tears, I don't feel a thing - well, I know that now
In a baron room, I was alone again
In a baron womb, on my own again
Lonely is the rain, as it falls to the stone cold ground
Lonely as I am, as I fade to the crushing sound
Of my own mother's tears, down the telephone - they still haunt me now
I want you again, just for a while - but I don't need anything for now
In a baron room, I was alone again
With a baron womb, on my own again
In this baron room, I am alone again




With a baron womb, on my own again
Lonely is the rain, as I recall all these things I cannot share at all

Overall Meaning

"The Rain" by Small is a melancholic and reflective song that delves into themes of loneliness and emotional isolation. The lyrics paint a picture of a person who feels detached from their surroundings, comparing their solitude to the rain falling on a cold and desolate ground. The rain becomes a symbol of their loneliness, mirroring their own inner turmoil.


The first verse establishes the sense of isolation, as the rain falls lonely to the stone cold ground, emphasizing the singer's loneliness. The phrase "fade to the crushing sound" suggests that they are slowly losing themselves amidst the overwhelming weight of their emotions. The mention of "someone else's tears" that they don't feel points to their emotional numbness and detachment, possibly reflecting a sense of disconnection from those around them.


The second verse introduces a personal element to their loneliness, as they recall their own mother's tears. These tears, haunting them even now, reveal a deep-seated emotional pain that lingers in their memory. The desire for companionship, expressed as "I want you again, just for a while," hints at an underlying longing for human connection and support. However, they also acknowledge that they don't currently need anything, possibly suggesting a desire to confront and navigate their emotions by themselves.


As the song progresses, the repeated mention of the "baron room" and "baron womb" further emphasizes the singer's isolation. These setting descriptions amplify the sense of emptiness and desolation in their surroundings. The closing line reflects a sense of frustration, as they are burdened with memories and experiences that they are unable to share with others.
