The Morning
St. John Vianney Theological Seminary Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Wish I was still an option
In your repertoire
And not just destruction
Crumbling ideals and your shoes under my bed
But your sins were too heavy
And I did not belong
Won't you curse at me baby?
Only thing that I do
Is just flailing to you
While I'm sinking in my own rain
And there are no more plans
No more places to hide
It all remains in my own two hands
Are you feeling insane?
Have you been playing the game?
Or was I the one that failed?
When you have tried it this hard
An empty brain your reward
Fear yourself for your own sake
Can't you see it's a lie?
Don't you regret your demise
It's gotten you this far
Morning Rain
Morning rain
I lose control
I want to scream
Is this a dream?
Just let me be
Morning Rain
Morning Rain
Born in Pain
Born in Pain
Mourning Rain
Mourning Rain




Born in Vain
Born in Vain

Overall Meaning

The Morning is a melancholic and introspective song about a relationship gone wrong. The opening lines suggest the singer's longing to still be a desirable option for their partner. They lament the fact that they are now seen as a source of destruction, with their previous aspirations and possessions now just clutter under the bed. The singer then suggests that their partner's sins were too great, and they were not a fitting match. The only way the partner can let out their frustration now is by cursing the singer. But despite this, the only thing the singer can do is cling onto their partner, even as they sink into their own emotional turmoil.


The second verse expands on the theme of internal turmoil. The singer suggests that there are no more options left, no more plans or places to hide. They are left alone to deal with their pain and confusion. They question whether they were the ones who failed in the relationship or if their partner's actions led to its demise. The reward for trying so hard to hold on is now an "empty brain," suggesting a sense of exhaustion and weariness. The singer urges their partner to fear themselves for their own sake and see that their current situation is a lie. The chorus then returns, emphasizing the pain and sense of loss in the situation.


Overall, The Morning is a poignant and emotive song, with lyrics that touch on themes of heartbreak, introspection, and self-doubt. The powerful imagery used throughout the song helps to convey a sense of sadness and desperation.


Line by Line Meaning

Wish I was still an option
I wish I still had a chance with you


In your repertoire
As a part of your collection of choices


And not just destruction
Instead of just causing chaos and pain


Crumbling ideals and your shoes under my bed
The remnants of our relationship are a mixed bag of broken promises and forgotten belongings


But your sins were too heavy
Your mistakes were too much for me to handle and forgive


And I did not belong
I realized that I didn't fit in your life or future plans


Won't you curse at me baby?
Can't you just be angry with me and let me go?


Only thing that I do
The only thing I am capable of


Is just flailing to you
Is to desperately reach out to you


While I'm sinking in my own rain
As I am drowning in my own sorrow and tears


And there are no more plans
Our future together is non-existent


No more places to hide
There's nowhere left to escape from the consequences of our actions


It all remains in my own two hands
The responsibility and consequences are mine to bear


Are you feeling insane?
Do you feel like you're losing your mind?


Have you been playing the game?
Have you been pretending or manipulating the situation?


Or was I the one that failed?
Maybe I was the one who messed things up


When you have tried it this hard
When you've put in so much effort and time


An empty brain your reward
But all you have to show for it is emptiness and confusion


Fear yourself for your own sake
You should be afraid of the person you're becoming


Can't you see it's a lie?
You're living a lie and denying the truth


Don't you regret your demise
Aren't you sorry for how things ended up?


It's gotten you this far
The path you've chosen has brought you to where you are now


Morning rain
The rain that falls in the morning


I lose control
I can no longer maintain my composure


I want to scream
I have the urge to release my pent-up emotions through screaming


Is this a dream?
Is this reality or just a figment of my imagination?


Just let me be
Leave me alone and allow me to deal with my thoughts and feelings


Born in pain
My existence is a product of suffering


Mourning rain
The rain that falls during mourning


Born in vain
My life seems to be meaningless or futile
