Red Rain Lyrics
(Can you hear me callin' your name girl?)
(I am standin', standin' in the red, red rain)
(In the mornin', standin' in the red, red, rain)
Can't you hear me? Can you hear me callin' your name, girl?
In the mornin', while I'm standin' in the red, red rain girl
(In the mornin', standin' in the red, red rain)
Can't you hear me? Can you hear me callin' your name, girl?
In the mornin', while I'm standin' in the red, red rain girl
You think not tellin' is the same as not lyin', don't you?
Then I guess not feelin' is the same as not cryin' to you
You think not tellin' is the same as not lyin', don't you?
Then I guess not feelin' is the same as not cryin' to you
In the red! In the rain
In the rain
In the red! In the red!
In the rain, in the rain
In the rain! In the rain!
In the rain! In the rain!
In the red! In the red!
In the rain! In the rain!
If there is a lie, then there is a liar too
If there is a sin, then there is a sinner too
And if there is a lie, then there is a liar too
And if there is a sin, then there is a sinner too
In the red! In the rain
In the rain
In the red! In the red!
In the rain, in the rain
In the red! In the red!
In the rain! In the rain!
In the red! In the red!
In the rain! In the rain!
In the red! In the red!
In the rain! In the rain!
(Don't you hear me, can't you hear me callin' your name girl?)
In the mornin', while I'm standin' in the red, red rain girl
In the mornin', while I'm standin' in the red, red rain girl
Then I guess not feelin' is the same as not cryin' to you
You think not tellin' is the same as not lyin', don't you?
Then I guess not feelin' is the same as not cryin' to you
In the rain
In the red! In the red!
In the rain, in the rain
In the rain! In the rain!
In the rain! In the rain!
In the red! In the red!
In the rain! In the rain!
If there is a sin, then there is a sinner too
And if there is a lie, then there is a liar too
And if there is a sin, then there is a sinner too
In the rain
In the red! In the red!
In the rain, in the rain
In the red! In the red!
In the rain! In the rain!
In the rain! In the rain!
In the red! In the red!
In the rain! In the rain!

A couple of things not quite addressed as I find the first lines very innocent and then they turn sinister:
1) He kills himself bleeding to death in front of her and wants to have a perverse revenge that haunts her, even when she first wakes up "in the morning"
2) He kills her and regrets it the next day and then tries to justify her murder. But he is covered in her blood and she cannot hear him,
But possibly the blood is like others have stated from the other man.
Great song, especially during the "And if there is a lie, then there is a liar too"-part, Jacks voice just gets cooler right there.
Artbeat- this song is like a mystery for solving with clues that don't seem to connect. Your bits and pieces seem "most likely" to help connect them altogether.
There are live performance clips that sometime Jack substitutes "I'm the blood, you're the vein" in place of "in the red, in the rain" repeating it. Sort of gives another angle to the song, no? Some thoughts? Anyone?
maybe its about a guy who is driven crazy by the death of a girl he loved. and he goes to her grave in the morning while it's raining, screaming her name into the ground. The whole tune of the song is out of loop,which makes it sound like its from a deeply troubled person because of the dark overtones and the generally light sounds. the bells also add to the insanity. The red rain is either cutting himself or it symbolizes the sadness he fells, making it so painful that when he cries, it feels like a wound bleeding.
@WhitenRed Bleedin' right before the Lord? And all the words are gonna bleed from me....

Oh how I love this song... I just have to say that... I don't really have any suggestions as to what it's about... I guess it's one of those songs that a lot of people can interpret to be able a certain girl or guy... I sure can
Not "able", I mean "about" a certain guy or girl.
I love this song too, especially the bells!
I love this song too, especially the bells!
faveorite song on the new album
this song is great, it is also maybe my fav song. i think it's about someone who thinks that just saying nothing or doing nothing is just like not doing or saying the wrong thing, and he sees that and wants to show the person so it'll stop. ya... or i could be wrong (btu i think i'm right)
