Like Rain

Birds of Tokyo

I send this message out
That's enough
I'm afraid of you
For the first time
And my body says
Not enough
I'm alone with you
For the last time

You're so soothing
Still I feel I got to run away with this love
I cannot give in
You're so soothing
Still I feel I got to take it all the way now
All the way down

Take a second now
Lay it straight
Gotta get it right
Or I'll lose you
And my temper sways
Near enough to be you
In and out of control
As I lose my grip

You're so soothing like rain
You're so soothing like rain

Feel this love slip away
I feel this love slip away

Feel this love
Feel this love slip away
I feel this love
I feel this love slip away
Feel this love
Feel this love slip away
I feel this love
I feel this love slip away

Feel this love slip away
Feel this love from the grave
I feel this love slip away
I feel this love from the grave

You're so soothing like rain
You're so soothing like rain
You're so soothing like rain
You're so soothing

    My Interpretation

    27 min ago ...maybe it about him in two minds about breaking up... a couple on the verge of breaking up coming to there final conversation of make it or break it.. sounds like he's not sure what he's going to do at first "send this message out thats enough im afraid of you for the first time but my body says not enough im alone with you for the last time" he's alone with her because there almost not a couple.. .. but in the end its the right thing he loves here but its over... "like rain" the lyrics could mean crying cause any break up never ends happily.. its soothing to cry cause thats how we cope with the sadness its our bodys reaction to counteract the sadness one feels i spose.. its over but its sad that it had to end... " youre so soothing like rain"

Bron-Y-Aur Stomp
Led Zeppelin
This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

Dreamwalker
Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

When We Were Young
Blink-182
This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
Album art
Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
Album art
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
