Friend of mine, sex is child inside
Adored by that sex, soaked in wine
The dark world we hide
Paint the child to entice...

Rain, suicide is rain in pain
Suicide is rain in pain
Falling into gutters, they splash their remains

What is night without stars?
What is dark about the heart?
What's in the park, we're not there anyway

Rain, suicide is rain in pain
Suicide is rain in pain
Suicide is rain in pain
Suicide is rain...

I can't be bothered, I can't be bothered, I can't be bothered

Friend of mine, sex is child inside
Adored by that sex, soaked in wine
The dark world we hide
Paint the child to entice...

Rain, suicide is rain in pain
Suicide is rain in pain
Suicide is rain in pain
Suicide is rain in pain
Suicide is rain in pain
Suicide is rain in pain
Suicide is rain in pain
Falling into gutters they... splash their remains

    My Interpretation

    To me, I think I've always took the "suicide is rain in pain" thing to be that suicide is an extreme amount of pain, showering down like millions rain drops... if that makes sense.

    The lyricist really should've checked with some translators, this song sounds like its about child sex abuse when it's probably not? although it also might be since it's about pain?

    The way I understood it was as using quick gratifying actions like alcohol or sex to bring out an inner child (happiness) but the reality is painful, so whenever you feel sober the reality hits like a bunch of drops in the rain, resulting in a powerful depression that ends with suicide.

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
