Rain On Me
Socialburn Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Cause you hold yourself like nobody else.
What can I do to make you see
Just how perfect you are to me.
The cold blows the wind over my head
You rain on me
All your pain and suffering
I wish everybody can see
The cold blows the wind over my head
Your scared cause your in the cold
And your scared that you might go back home
Cause home has never been so great
Its a place you love to hate
The cold blows the wind over our heads
When you rain on me
All your pain and suffering
The times you rain on me
I wish everybody can see
The cold the wind
Out of sight
The cold the wind
Out of sight
When you rain on me
All your pain and suffering
The time you rain on me
I wish everybody can see
But you rain on me
All your pain and suffering
The times you rain on me
I wish everybody can see
The cold blows the wind over our heads
you go to sleep by yourself
Cause you hold yourself like nobody else
What can I do to make you see just how perfect you are to... me
The lyrics to Socialburn's song "Rain on Me" express the singer's empathy for someone who is struggling, perhaps emotionally or mentally. They begin by acknowledging that the person is independent ("you go to sleep by yourself"), but also guarded ("cause you hold yourself like nobody else"). The singer wants to help this person see their own worth and beauty ("What can I do to make you see just how perfect you are to me").
The second verse hints at some of the reasons this person might be suffering. They are scared, perhaps of returning to a difficult home situation. The mention of a place they "love to hate" suggests that there is some emotional complexity there - the person may have positive memories or attachments to the place, but it is still a source of pain.
The chorus ties these verses together with a metaphor of rain. The person's pain and suffering are like rain that falls on the singer ("you rain on me"), but simultaneously, the singer wishes "everybody can see" what this person is going through. This could be interpreted in a few different ways - perhaps the singer wishes others could also experience the empathy and connection they feel. Alternatively, it could be a plea for greater awareness or understanding of mental health issues - many people suffer in silence, and the chorus could be seen as a call to destigmatize these struggles.
Overall, "Rain on Me" is a bittersweet song about trying to connect with someone who is hurting. The singer sees this person's pain as a kind of shared experience, but their ultimate goal is to help them find peace and self-love.
