Rain City

Oh my love i cant let go, Somethings wrong i cant let go, Natures cruel shes laughs at me, Almost too much for my heart, When it rains, Oh tears my soul apart, ...these lyrics make me think that it's about how he knows that he has to break up with a girl, but he loves her too much and doesn't want to let her go

-i'm probably totally wrong but that's just what i think, don't hesitate to correct me

im definitely sure this is something natural and im thinking along the lines of dying

Opened my eyes had a dream last night that both my arms were broken, Evening time, - hes near death Help me now or hold me down, i feel the world is tumbling, - cure me or help me die, hes almost dying, going through a rush of pain Spiralling down, - hes getting worse but cannot understand why Oh my love i cant let go, - he doesnt want to leave his wife or girl Somethings wrong i cant let go, - he loves her so much and doesnt want to die because he cant think how she will be if he dies Natures cruel she laughs at me, - doesnt understand why this is happening and blames nature. As i make my way through the century, - time has passed so slowly As i slowly turn to house dust, - his memories no longer exist and a long time has passed with him not at home Tumbling down, - hes so close to death The rain comes down like a victory, - hes almost there and can feel death which is described as rain In sheets of shining memory, - his life has flashed before him like photos which are sheets of happy memories Over and over,- getting to death is getting more an more intense Circling around, he tries to understand why it is happening Oh my love i cant let go, - his last words Somethings wrong i cant let go, - hes worried of her Natures cruel shes laughs at me, - like i said before Almost too much for my heart, - he cant handle it When it rains, - hes died Oh tears my soul apart, - when its raining the girl rememebrs him and breaks her heart When it rains, It rains so slowly - when it rains it brings back the memories and it feels like time is going so slowly perhaps because when were having a good time time flies past so quickly but when we are sad or bored time is so slow In the city, - he refers to the rushed and busy life style he was from Where i`m from. - which is what he was used to and now he's dead everything is so slow.

Revisiting this song I loved as a teenager (from the OC :)) Forgot how much I loved it. But anyways I hear a story of someone losing someone they loved (ie someone died “nature’s cruel”). The lyrics anre describing the emotions of depression and sadness in dealing with the loss. They feel helpless, world is falling apart around them, sheets of rain, etc. A beautiful song. I would like to hear what Turin Brakes says the meaning is!

[Edit: Added clarification]

this song is great but i have no idea what it means

Me neither, someone enlighten me please. And yes I stole my name from it. :P

I can't tell what it means either, but I really do like this song!

in a way it seems like this song is about a broken heart..? but then again i could be totally wrong. it's quite confusing. amazing but confusing

As i make my way through the century As i slowly turn to house dust

-That makes me think of growing old, skin cells fall off and create dust over the centuries

Somethings wrong i can`t let go, Natures cruel shes laughs at me, Almost too much for my heart,

-That makes me think of dying, he/she is dying and can't let go, and nature is making he/she

Wow aImeELitE that's amazing. It's really beautiful and ur meaning makes perfect sense....

It kind of reminds me of that song in the Titanic when the ship is sinking (no not Celine Dion..!).- Nearer To Thee God. It's sad and soo beautiful

I especially love the beginning and it's so sad it's creepy and heartbreaking. The ending is a bit confusing but any whooo.. Beautiful!!

I have no meaning but i believe aImeELitE's to be a very good description i never saw the dying scenario in my mind before all i ever imagined was him sitting by a window watching the rain while he thinks of a girl he loves but can't be with oh well i love this song, its beautiful
