After The Rain
The Angels Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When the sky-full of tears
Is threatening to fall
Don't stand in the way
Come inside, close the door
The sky will clear again
After the rain

When the clouds overhead
Want to capture your heart
Let them know you are strong
You will not be caught
The clouds will blow away
After the rain

Fall, fall
Fall, fall
Fall, fall
Fall, fall
After the rain
No clouds over you
After the rain
Sun yellow sky blue
After the rain
Though you can't see it now
The sun never sets
It always does
What you sometimes forget
The sun will shine again
After the rain
Fall, fall




Fall, fall
Fall, fall

Overall Meaning

The Angels' song "After the Rain" speaks to the idea that even in the midst of difficult times, there is always hope for better things to come. The opening lyrics refer to a "sky-full of tears/ threatening to fall," which could represent both literal rain as well as emotional turmoil. The message here is not to let fear or sadness paralyze you, but to seek sanctuary inside and wait for the storm to pass. The chorus reiterates this idea, with the phrase "after the rain" serving as a kind of mantra that the listener can hold onto.


The second verse moves from rain imagery to clouds that "want to capture your heart." This could be interpreted as a metaphor for depression or other mental health struggles--things that can feel all-consuming and impossible to shake. However, the lyrics encourage the listener to resist being overtaken, to remind themselves of their inner strength and to trust that the clouds will eventually dissipate. The repetition of the chorus reinforces the idea that no matter how bad things seem in the moment, they will get better in time.


Overall, "After the Rain" is a song that speaks to the resilience of the human spirit and the power of hope. It acknowledges that life can be tough, but encourages listeners to look for the silver lining and trust that brighter days are ahead.
