The Rain
Vika Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Come, come tonight
Just hold me tight
This desert rain you're my guiding light
We, We were close
This world of pain
I've missed you so much now I'm whole again
Just hold me tight
This desert rain you're my guiding light
We, we were lost
This world of time
We forgot about love, We forgot about us
Now I am here
Dreams become real
I feel like a sand that's blown away
back into the storm
I'm inside this dream
That feels just like a desert rain
You will always have my soul
Hidden dreams and secret words
Missing you
The lyrics of Vika Jigulina's song "Desert Rain" convey a message of reconnection and reunion with someone the singer has missed dearly. The repetition of "I've missed you so much now I'm whole again" underscores the importance of this person's presence in the singer's life. The chorus, "Come, come tonight, Just hold me tight, This desert rain you're my guiding light," expresses a sense of urgency and need for this person to come back and provide emotional support. The metaphor of desert rain serves to convey a sense of rarity and preciousness, as well as providing guidance and direction.
The lyrics further explore the idea that the singer and the person they long for have been through pain and have lost themselves in the world around them. However, the person's return allows dreams to become real and rekindles the forgotten love between them. This idea is conveyed in the lines "We forgot about love, We forgot about us, Now I am here, Dreams become real." The repetition of "We, we were" in the verses highlights the shared experiences and history between the singer and the other person.
Overall, the lyrics of "Desert Rain" express the longing for someone who brings light and guidance to the singer's life, providing a comforting refuge from the desert of life's hardships.

I've missed you so much now I'm whole again
After being apart, I feel complete again now that we're together
Come, come tonight
Please come see me tonight
Just hold me tight
Embrace me closely
This desert rain you're my guiding light
You're my beacon of hope in this harsh, barren place
We, We were close
We used to be very connected
This world of pain
Life can be difficult and full of suffering
We forgot about love, We forgot about us
We lost sight of what really mattered in our relationship
Now I am here
I am present and committed to making things work
Dreams become real
Our aspirations can come true if we work together
I feel like a sand that's blown away
back into the storm
I feel lost and directionless, like being caught in a sandstorm
I'm inside this dream
That feels just like a desert rain
I'm living in a surreal reality that's both beautiful and desolate
You will always have my soul
Hidden dreams and secret words
Missing you
My love for you runs deep, even when we're apart
