October Skies
Student Rick Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
and I'll be there when you fall
and I wish upon a star
to be where you are...
and there you were
the stars so bright around you
the moon lighting your face
my heart so longs to touch you
and kiss your tears of pain
tear my flesh and watch the pain flow through my veins
I wish that I could hold you
I know I will in time
do you know my pain?
did you see the tears fall from my eyes last night?
do you know my pain?
did you see the tears fall from my eyes last night?
know my pain
know my pain
know my pain
know my pain
now you've gone away...
my thoughts and dreams surround you
when will this day end?
broken hearts will mend together once again
I'm losing sight without you
then you reached out your hand
brushed my face
then looked me in the eyes and said
'I can't live life without you'
I won't forget that time
do you know my pain?
did you see the tears fall from my eyes last night?
do you know my pain?
did you see the tears fall from my eyes last night?
know my pain
know my pain
know my pain
know my pain
now you've gone away...
and I'll be there...
and I'll be there...
to be where you are...
The lyrics of "October Skies" by Student Rick express feelings of intense love and longing for another person. The singer wishes to be with his lover no matter what happens, hence the lines "I'll be there where you are, and I'll be there when you fall." The imagery of stars and the moon highlights the beauty of the moment when the singer is with his lover.
The song also touches upon the pain and heartache that sometimes accompany love. The lines "love so strong it kills to see you drive away, tear my flesh and watch the pain flow through my veins" express the agony of being apart from someone you love deeply. The repetition of "know my pain" at the end of each verse further emphasizes the singer's emotional turmoil.
The final lines of the song suggest that the singer and his lover have reunited, with the lover reaching out her hand and declaring her love. The song ends on a hopeful note, with the singer affirming that he will be there for his lover no matter what.

Awesome! Thanks, this is a rare version, Do you have the original "yesterday"? Not the version on sound track for a generation but the previous one?

How sad is it when good music disappears off the internet? :( Oh, so many The Ataris b-sides gone years before I could get a hold of them.

1thess523 I remember that website, that's where I first found student rick. Unfortunately no longer have any of the mp3's. Great upload anyway =)

This is the only song i believe i have, There was this old website called MP3.Com back in like 2005 and i use to get tons of songs from there and that's where this came from, i guess a lot of bands put up demo songs or comp songs because I have songs that are a lot different than some bands album songs.

I got this off an old website called MP3.COM, that was my go to place for new music when i came back into the music scene after a 7yr leave of absence so it was early 2000's.I found a bunch of good single songs maybe some that had 3 or 4 available, I have a bunch of compilation cd's i made of bands that i had never heard of.
