Rain Or Shine
The Soulbreaker Company Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sometimes when I curl up in my bed, with the whisper of the night
Sometimes with a tremor in her voice she sings a lullaby
She talks about me but she doesn't say my name
My eyes start to weep and she puts her hands on me
If you wonder why I cry
For the children that won't be born
I guess that they deserve a tear
Sometimes I tell her to leave me cos the sun is rising
She'll caress my head and she'll wait until first light comes
If you wonder why I cry
For the children that won't be born
I guess that they deserve a tear
Night after night but this time I'll wake up shouting
That my forces are back and I won't let them leave again
If you wonder why I cry
For the children that won't be born
I guess that they deserve a tear
Lady, I wanna be the last man you touch
Lady, I wanna be the stars that light your night
Oh yeah




Lady I wanna be the man just by your side
Rain or shine

Overall Meaning

The Soulbreaker Company's "Rain or Shine" features a poignant narrative about a person who is haunted by the idea of children that will never be born. The first two lines of the song set a calming and reflective tone as the person curls up in their bed, with the night as their only companion. The lyrics suggest that this person is not alone, as they speak of a woman who sings them a lullaby. Her voice tremors as she sings, which communicates a sense of empathy, care, and understanding.


The woman's presence is comforting but also sad, as she talks about the person but never utters their name. This lack of acknowledgement may stem from the person's guilt regarding the children that they will never have. The lyrics explain that the person cries for these unborn children, as they believe that they deserve a tear. The repetition of this line underscores the person's deep sense of loss and sadness.


In the latter half of the song, the person shifts from sadness to determination. They wake up shouting that their "forces" are back, which suggests that they have regained their will to live and persevere. The song ends with the person expressing a deep desire to be with this woman who provides them with comfort and support, regardless of the weather conditions. Through the narration of "Rain or Shine," The Soulbreaker Company tackles a heavy subject with a respectful and reverent approach.
