Rain On Me
Trophy Eyes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Rain on me
Every raindrop that touches my skin
Makes a sound like your name
Makes a sound like your name
It made a hole inside of me
A hungry aching void
And only found easement in your voice
I'll keep the world awake
For taking me away
As long as there's breath left in me
None shall sleep
Stay
I'll be your favourite mistake
I can feel it deep inside of me
I can feel it burning in my skin
But i'm too old - too firmly moulded
To say how you make me feel
Stay
I'll be your favourite mistake
The lyrics of "Rain on Me" by Trophy Eyes are a heartfelt expression of longing and attachment. The singer describes feeling the raindrops on his skin and hearing them make a sound like the name of his beloved. The rain, which is often seen as a metaphor for sadness and pain, is here transformed into a sensual experience that connects the singer to his feelings of love and loss.
The rain also symbolizes the void that has been created inside of the singer since his beloved left. He describes this aching hunger which can only be filled by her voice. The rest of the world seems to disappear as he becomes consumed by his thoughts of her. The lyrics are full of pathos, and the singer is in a state of emotional turmoil, feeling both passionate and helpless.
However, towards the end of the song, there is a turn towards hope. The singer declares that he will keep the world awake as long as there is breath left in him, and none shall sleep. He wants his love to stay despite the fact that he is too old and too firmly moulded to express how he truly feels. He is willing to be her favorite mistake, ready to be vulnerable and open-hearted, despite the potential for pain and heartbreak.
