The Rain Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Lavan reunaan haistan hien
Sekamelska hiuksien
Mitä hait kun lähdit hyppien
Biisiin viimeiseen?
Näen liikkeet ihmisten,
Joku tanssii nauraen
Voin nähdä joskus silmiin,
Mutta en voi nähdä sydämeen

Kielet soi kunniaa!
Kädet nousevat ilmaan, ne kantaa
Sun kaipuutas näin ylöspäin
Ehkä sait suurempaa
Mitä tunteet ja järki voi antaa
Ehkä hait Jumalaa
- vai haitko tunnelmaa?

Itselleenkö sydän löi,
Oven lukkoon sinetöi?
Käperryitkö kiinni tunnelmiin
Kunnes ne haalistuu?
Vai tahdoitko sä hetket nää
Jumalalle pyhittää?
Ja sydän tekee kaiken tietenkin
Niin kuin osaa parhaimmin!

Kielet soi kunniaa!
Kädet nousevat ilmaan, ne kantaa
Sun kaipuutas näin ylöspäin
Ehkä sait suurempaa
Mitä tunteet ja järki voi antaa

Ehkä hait Jumalaa
- vai haitko tunnelmaa?

Overall Meaning

The Rain's song "Ylös" speaks of the deep emotions and thoughts that run through a person's mind in a clubbing scene. The song begins with the singer noticing the scents and senses that surround the dancing crowd, and questions the reason for leaving the party even as the last song plays. The lyrics seem to address someone who has left the party lost in thoughts and with complicated emotions, as the singer takes on a reflection on what could have happened.

The chorus of the song talks about the elevated spirits of the crowd, as the strings play in honor of the moment. It speaks of the longing that the singer sees on people's faces, now that they've come together to have a good time. The singer tries to make sense of the emotions in the atmosphere, asking whether the person who left the party left as a result of a desire to feel something more profound or just for the mood of the moment. The lyrics seem to speak to the feelings of both loneliness and togetherness that can come through a night out, with the singer trying to understand the complexity of emotions that can be brought out in a setting like a club.
