Set Fire to the Rain
Vitamin String Quartet Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Suzanne the plans they made put an end to you
I walked out this morning and I wrote down this song
I just can't remember who to send it to
I've seen fire and I've seen rain
I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end
I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend
Won't you look down upon me, Jesus
You've got to help me make a stand
You've just got to see me through another day
My body's aching and my time is at hand
I won't make it any other way
I've seen fire and I've seen rain
I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end
I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend
But I always thought that I'd see you again
Been walking my mind to an easy time, my back turned towards the sun
Lord knows when the cold wind blows, it'll turn your head around
Well there's hours of time on the telephone line to talk about things to come
Sweet dreams and flying machines in pieces on the ground
I've seen fire and I've seen rain
I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end
I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend
But I always thought that I'd see you baby, one more time again, now
Thought I'd see you one more time again
There's just a few things coming my way this time around now
Thought I'd see you, thought I'd see you, fire and rain now
Na na na. Na na na na na na na na na na. Na na na na na na na na
I've seen fire and I've seen rain
I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end
I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend
But I always thought that I'd see you baby, one more time again, now
Thought I'd see you one more time again
There's just a few things coming my way this time around now
Thought I'd see you, thought I'd see you, fire and rain now
The song "Set Fire to the Rain" by Vitamin String Quartet is actually a cover of the original song performed by Adele. However, the lyrics of the song remain the same in both versions. The lyrics narrate the journey of the songwriter through life and the various phases that he has gone through. The songwriter talks about the moments of despair and agony he has faced in his life, from sorrowful times to joyful ones. In the beginning, the lyrics talk about the songwriter's realization that a friend of his, named Suzanne, is no longer alive. He is left with a feeling of uncertainty and doesn't know what to do next. He then talks to Jesus, asking him to help him make it through one more day. The second verse keeps going back to the ups and downs of life, and the songwriter expresses his broken heart and how he wants to see his friend one more time again.
The emotions that are expressed in the lyrics are very raw and genuine, which is probably what made Adele take the song and make it her own. She made the lyrics her own by giving a personal touch to them, making the listener feel her pain and emotions. The Vitamin String Quartet reimagined the song with instrumental strings, creating a melodious atmosphere that showcases the song's emotions effectively.
Line by Line Meaning
Just yesterday mornin', they let me know you were gone
Recently, I was informed that you passed away
Suzanne the plans they made put an end to you
The arrangements they had made caused your untimely death
I walked out this morning and I wrote down this song
This song came to me as I was taking a walk this morning
I just can't remember who to send it to
I don't recall who to share this song with
I've seen fire and I've seen rain
I have experienced both intense hardships and good times
I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end
During the happy moments, I never wanted them to pass
I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend
I have felt the isolation of not having someone to confide in
But I always thought that I'd see you again
I always had hope that I would have the chance to reconnect with you
Won't you look down upon me, Jesus
Dear Lord, would you please help me and offer guidance
You've got to help me make a stand
Support me as I take a firm position
You've just got to see me through another day
I need your help to endure another day
My body's aching and my time is at hand
My body feels weak, and I sense that my time is running out
I won't make it any other way
Without your assistance, I cannot go on
Been walking my mind to an easy time, my back turned towards the sun
I've been daydreaming of better times, avoiding the harsh reality
Lord knows when the cold wind blows, it'll turn your head around
When faced with adversity, one can lose their way and perspective
Well there's hours of time on the telephone line to talk about things to come
We could spend hours discussing our future aspirations
Sweet dreams and flying machines in pieces on the ground
Even our most cherished dreams and plans can come crashing down
Thought I'd see you one more time again
I had hoped to reunite with you just once more
There's just a few things coming my way this time around now
I have some obstacles to overcome in the near future
Thought I'd see you, thought I'd see you, fire and rain now
I thought our meeting would involve some challenging circumstances
Na na na. Na na na na na na na na na na. Na na na na na na na na

I let it fall, my heart
And as it fell, you rose to claim it
It was dark, and I was over
Until you kissed my lips and you saved me
My hands, they were strong
But my knees were far too weak
To stand in your arms
Without falling to your feet
But there's a side to you
That I never knew, never knew
All the things you'd say
They were never true, never true
And the games you'd play
You would always win, always win
But I set fire to the rain
Watched it pour as I touched your face
Well, it burned while I cried
'Cause I heard it screaming out your name, your name!
When I lay with you
I could stay there
Close my eyes
Feel you here forever
You and me together
Nothing is better
'Cause there's a side to you
That I never knew, never knew
All the things you'd say
They were never true, never true
And the games you'd play
You would always win, always win
But I set fire to the rain
Watched it pour as I touched your face
Well, it burned while I cried
'Cause I heard it screaming out your name, your name!
I set fire to the rain
And I threw us into the flames
When it fell, something died
'Cause I knew that that was the last time, the last time!
Sometimes I wake up by the door
That heart you caught must be waiting for you
Even now, when we're already over
I can't help myself from looking for you
I set fire to the rain
Watched it pour as I touched your face
Well, it burned while I cried
'Cause I heard it screaming out your name, your name
I set fire to the rain
And I threw us into the flames
When it fell, something died
'Cause I knew that that was the last time, the last time, oh!
Oh, no
Let it burn, oh
Let it burn
Let it burn

The bass part in this reminds me of Black Sails theme song.
