Set Fire To The Rain
SycAmour Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I let it fall, my heart,
And as it fell you rose to claim it
It was dark and I was over
Until you kissed my lips and you saved me

My hands, they're strong
But my knees were far too weak
To stand in your arms
Without falling to your feet

But there's a side to you
That I never knew, never knew
All the things you'd say
They were never true, never true
And the games you play
You would always win, always win

But I set fire to the rain
Watched it pour as I touched your face
Well, it burned while I cried
'Cause I heard it screaming Out your name,
Your name

When I lay with you
I could stay there
Close my eyes
Feel you here forever
You and me together nothing gets better

'Cause there's a side to you
That I never knew, never knew
All the things you'd say
They were never true, never true
And the games you play
You would always win, always win

But I set fire to the rain
Watched it pour as I touched your face
Well, it burned while I cried
'Cause I heard it screaming out your name,
Your name

I set fire to the rain
And I threw us into the flames
Well, it felt something died
'Cause I knew that that was
The last time, the last time

Sometimes I wake up by the door,
That heart you caught must be waiting for you
Even now when we're already over
I can't help myself from looking for you

I set fire to the rain
Watched it pour as I touched your face
Well, it burned while I cried
'Cause I heard it screaming Out your name,
Your name

I set fire to the rain,
And I threw us into the flames
Well, it felt something died
'Cause I knew that, that was the last time
The last time

Let it burn




Let it burn
Let it burn

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to "Set Fire To The Rain" by SycAmour are highly emotive and expressive. The opening lines describe the singer's heart falling, and as it does, the object of their affection claims it. The singer was in a dark place before they were saved by the person who kissed them. They admit to being weak in the presence of this person, falling to their feet in their arms.


However, despite the reliance and trust placed in this person, the singer discovers that there is a side to them that they never knew; one in which the things they say are not true and the games they play, they always win. The chorus is highly memorable, representing the singer's anger towards the deceitful nature of their lover. They burn metaphorical fire to the rain, which pours as they touch their lover's face. The burning sensation is a representation of the intense feeling of betrayal after hearing their lover's name being shrieked during intimacy.


In the latter part of the song, the singer admits they still look for their lover even though they know it's over. The final repetition of the chorus and the closure of the song signify letting go of the relationship and moving past the pain.


Line by Line Meaning

I let it fall, my heart
I allowed my heart to go through an emotional downfall


And as it fell you rose to claim it
You took advantage of the opportunity to capture my heart when I was going through an emotional turmoil


It was dark and I was over
It was a bleak time in my life when I had given up on emotions


Until you kissed my lips and you saved me
But you came along and rekindled love in me with your passionate kiss


My hands, they're strong
I may have a strong exterior


But my knees were far too weak
But emotionally, I am vulnerable and weak


To stand in your arms
Being in your arms takes away my strength and makes me vulnerable


Without falling to your feet
I am completely under your control when I am with you


But there's a side to you
I discovered a new aspect of your personality


That I never knew, never knew
Which I was completely unaware of


All the things you'd say
The things you said


They were never true, never true
Were all a lie


And the games you play
The emotional games you play


You would always win, always win
You always come out on top by winning these games


But I set fire to the rain
I expressed my hurt and anger by setting everything on fire


Watched it pour as I touched your face
As I watched the fire spread, I touched your face to show you that it was all because of you


Well, it burned while I cried
Even though I cried seeing everything burning down, I didn't stop the fire


'Cause I heard it screaming
The fire made a sound


Out your name, your name
Which sounded like your name


When I lay with you
When I was with you


I could stay there
I could've stayed there forever


Close my eyes
With my eyes closed


Feel you here forever
I felt like you were here with me for eternity


You and me together nothing gets better
Being together is the best thing


And I threw us into the flames
I put us both in the middle of the fire


Well, it felt something died
That act felt like something inside me had died


'Cause I knew that that was the last time
Because I knew it was the end of us


Sometimes I wake up by the door
I still wait by the door for you to come back sometimes


That heart you caught must be waiting for you
The heart that you won is still waiting for you


Even now when we're already over
Even though we are not together anymore


I can't help myself from looking for you
I can't stop myself from searching for you


Let it burn
Let it all burn down


Let it burn
Let everything burn


Let it burn
Let it all just burn

This was the first song I've heard from them years back and that moment I knew it that im going to like this band. It may be a cover but it still showcases their talent

I found this band a week ago and they have become my favorite band. Love the style and the vocals are awesome, the instrumentals are so well organized. Best band out there right now.
