Here I Stand and Face the Rain
a-ha Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Help me, I need your love
Don't walk away
The dark scares me so
We're nothing apart
Let's stay friends forever
Forever

Here I stand and face the rain
I know that nothing's gonna be the same again
I fear for what tomorrow brings

Trust me for whom I am
Place all your faith
Into these hands
I got nothing to say
But let's stay friends forever
Forever

Here I stand and face the rain
I know that nothing's gonna be the same again
I fear for what tomorrow brings

Here I stand and face the rain (Here I stand and face the rain)
I know that nothing's gonna be the same again

Here I stand and face the rain (Here I stand and face the rain)




Knowing nothing's gonna be the same again
Again

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of a-ha's song Here I Stand and Face the Rain express the singer's desires to maintain a relationship and their fear of losing the person they love. The opening lines "Help me, I need your love, Don't walk away" express desperation and an appeal for the listener's support. The line "The dark scary me so" sets a tone of fear and anxiety, and the phrase "We're nothing apart" communicates the importance of the relationship to the singer.


The repeated phrase "Let's stay friends forever, forever" suggests the singer's willingness to compromise to maintain some kind of relationship, even if it isn't a romantic one. The song seems to be about accepting the changes and uncertainties that come with life while clinging to the hope that the relationship can endure.


The chorus "Here I stand and face the rain, I know that nothing's gonna be the same again" is a metaphor for the obstacles the singer is facing and the difficulties in maintaining the relationship. Despite their fear, the singer asserts themselves with the line "Trust me for whom I am, place all your faith into these hands." The final lines of the song "Knowing nothing's gonna be the same again, again" suggest the inevitability of change and the uncertainty that lies ahead.
