2) The Rain is a Finnish christian rock band, founded in Ikaalinen - nowadays located in Tampere. They play melodic hard rock and metal.

The Rain Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Minun sisälläni on paikka rakkauden
Aivan pieni, mutta tyhjyys täyttää sen
Eikä kaikki tyhjä edes mahdu sisimpään
Sen myrkky vuotaa elämään
Siihen tukehtuu kun hengittää

Taas mä tarvitsen sua
Taas jäin nimees huutamaan

Ja jos vain kannat mua
Mä kyllä ootan
Kunnes jälleen kohdataan

Minun sisälläni se paikka rakkauden
On aivan pieni, mutta sinä löydät sen
Miksi minä pelkäisin kun tyhjyys häviää?
Uusi lämpö täyttää sisimpää
Jumala on rakkaus ja elämä

Taas mä tarvitsen sua
Taas jäin nimees huutamaan
Kuka on rakkaus ja elämä?
Kuka on kuollut ja kuka jää?

Ja jos vain kannat mua,
Mä kyllä ootan
Kunnes jälleen kohdataan
Oo-oo-oo-oo-oo

Joskus itken ääneen
Silloin kuivaat kyyneleet

Kuka on rakkaus ja elämä?
Kuka on kuollut ja kuka jää?
Käyt loppuun asti tien

Et minua hylkää
(Kiitos)

Overall Meaning

The Rain's song Kiitos is a poignant expression of the yearning for love and the emotional void that can exist within us. The first verse describes a small place within the singer's soul meant for love, but filled with emptiness instead, and how the emptiness can be overwhelming, as represented by the poison that seeps into life and suffocates the singer. The chorus reveals the singer's yearning for someone to fill that emptiness, shouting out to their beloved and expressing the willingness to wait until they meet again, even amidst the despair and loneliness.

The second verse shifts tone, with the singer acknowledging that the small place for love is still within them, but with the belief that their beloved will find it. The singer questions why they should be afraid when the emptiness disappears, and how love can replace it with warmth. The song ends with the repeated refrain of needing someone and the uncertainty of love and life, but with the assurance that they will be there until the end.

Line by Line Meaning

Minun sisälläni on paikka rakkauden
Inside of me, there's a place for love

Aivan pieni, mutta tyhjyys täyttää sen
It's very small, but emptiness fills it

Eikä kaikki tyhjä edes mahdu sisimpään
Not all emptiness fits in my innermost being

Sen myrkky vuotaa elämään
Its poison leaks into my life

Siihen tukehtuu kun hengittää
I choke on it when I breathe

Taas mä tarvitsen sua
Once again, I need you

Taas jäin nimees huutamaan
Once again, I was left shouting your name

Ja jos vain kannat mua
And if you just support me

Mä kyllä ootan
I will wait

Kunnes jälleen kohdataan
Until we meet again

Minun sisälläni se paikka rakkauden
Inside of me, that place for love
