Let It Rain

This song is about a girl that has been hurt in a relationship. She has given love but not had it returned. It sounds like she may have done the same thing to others before though, 'beaten at the hands of my own game'.

Perhaps she hopes the rain will cleanse her, 'My face is dirty from the strain I only hope one day I'll come clean'.

This song is about a girl that cheats on a guy then he cheats on her to get back. "I cannot help but hear his voice, I only wish that I could listen without shame " means she's ashamed of her actions. "It isn't worth the tears you cry to have a perfect alibi" she tells him becuase she feels bad "Now I'm beaten at the hands of my own game" then he cheats on her with someone else.

I don't necessarily think that this song has much to do with a failed relationship.

I think this is about a person who feels the need to change their life. They are stuck somewhere with no chance of moving forward and now must make the choice to force that change by doing something drastic.

The lines 'let it rain' are their wish to be cleansed of their past and their fears and their so-called-sins, and be given the courage to do what they must do.

While I agree that there is an element of the speaker having stayed where she is because of someone else (someone she felt strongly about), I don't think that is the only thing that she needs to change. I think it's her life, in total.

To me this song is about wanting to be with someone who is not good for you. That someone could already be in a relationship (and you're the "other" woman/man) or maybe they are just bad news.

I have given, I have given And got none Still I'm driven by something I can't explain

(This could be about how you are drawn to that person, even though you know you shouldn't be because they are not treating you as well as they should "got none")

It's not a cross, it is a choice I cannot help but hear his voice I only wish that I could listen without shame

(You are not complaining about it, you know that it is YOUR decision to be with him, but you know that somethign about this is wrong, shameful).

I have been a witness to the perfect crime I wipe the grin off of my face to hide the blame It isn't worth the tears you cry to have a perfect alibi Now I'm beaten at the hands of my own game

(Perfect crime could mean being that other woman, but now you are starting to feel more strongly, that you can't just have this casual relationship and now you're wanting more --- getting beaten at the hand of your own game)

It isn't easy to be kind With all these demons in my mind I only hope one day I'll be free I do my best not to complain My face is dirty from the strain I only hope one day I'll come clean

(You KNOW you need to stop this. All these "demons in your mind" telling you its no good to be this way. And that one day you will be strong enough to cleanse yourself of him and get out of this relationship)

This song is about a relationship, but its a relationship with God , at least thats what i feel when i listen to it, i grew up with a strong christian influence in my life. but during my 20's i left morals and good decisions behind, and now in my early 30's and having a 3 year old son my life has turned around but i still feel the burden of what i have done and i would like nothing more than to let the rain come and wash away my "sins". . . . either way the beauty of an amazing song is everyone can find their own personal meaning from it , its not cut and dry only one meaning

It is funny how so many comments on songs are about relationships, though I guess that is a result of our media and the way they tell us love, should be? Not everything is about a bad break-up.

This song is about someone who has clearly hit rock bottom, their loss of faith, in religion or simply just humanity. Someone who has made so many bad decisions and can barely look at them-self in the mirror. Someone who has lost all hope in having a normal life.

Being gay I’ve always had a strong connection with this song, being made to feel unimportant and different and making bad decisions along the way in rejection.

This song still makes me tear up...

I think this song is about a woman whos relationship failed with the love of her life. She is incredibly broken still, years later. The song resonates with the feeling of someone who\'s flung themselves out into the dating world over and over and been left glaring disappointed. She keeps hearing his voice in the back of her head, almost like being chased by a ghost. Whatever happened to make them end has made her feel shameful. I don\'t think it\'s common cheating. Maybe someone spread rumours that ended it. Regardless she\'s wearing the stain. Her game was that she never loved any man in her relationships since and they didn\'t love her either. Hence "beaten by the hand of my own game". She is after repreive. A break. For the longing to go. For the self punishment to go. The rain washes everything clean. "Come take my hand" verse is about her love. Come back. Walk with me, forget what you think you know about me.\nIt\'s actually a very sad song.
