Rain Awhile Lyrics
And I want my pain back
And I want the world to see
There’s nothing you can choose
Nothing you can lose
Except your free will to be
Better off as a stable boy
You’re better off as a picture on the wall
You're better off believing,
You’re a ghost
Than believing you can think at all
this may sound confused
But it feels good to me
It may be a lie
But I’m tired
And I’m right about ready to show no soul, no no
Rain, Rain for a while
Oh No,rain, rain for a while
'cause on your front porch is a letter from me
Revealing my own hell
So I change when the time is right
The right time's always few and far below
The right time is always wondering where to go, what to show, what to write about
And the world is on fire
and Baby it's too good
I should not control my way to be
it’s plain to see, I'm gonna be
'Cause I’m right about ready to show no soul
No, No, Rain, Rain for a while
Oh, No rain for a while
Rain
Rain
Because on your front porch is a letter from
And the world is a girl in a beauty form
And a race is a play where it's singled out
So believe in yourself
Don’t wait for ground to break
dont Wait for ground
It's ok to feel alone
It's ok to feel not strong
Once in awhile
Because I keep telling myself what to feel
I play make believe until it's real
Oh most of the time
Because time was never too friendly to me
Somehow change just avoided to greet me
No completely
And so when reality's taken its toll
Just pretend that youre not in control
Oh complacency
And so know
It's okay feel alone
It's okay to feel not strong
Oh once in a while
And I want the world to see
There’s nothing you can choose
Nothing you can lose
Except your free will to be
You’re better off as a picture on the wall
You're better off believing,
You’re a ghost
Than believing you can think at all
But it feels good to me
It may be a lie
But I’m tired
And I’m right about ready to show no soul, no no
Oh No,rain, rain for a while
'cause on your front porch is a letter from me
Revealing my own hell
The right time's always few and far below
The right time is always wondering where to go, what to show, what to write about
And the world is on fire
and Baby it's too good
I should not control my way to be
it’s plain to see, I'm gonna be
'Cause I’m right about ready to show no soul
Oh, No rain for a while
Rain
Rain
And the world is a girl in a beauty form
And a race is a play where it's singled out
Don’t wait for ground to break
dont Wait for ground
It's ok to feel not strong
Once in awhile
I play make believe until it's real
Oh most of the time
Because time was never too friendly to me
Somehow change just avoided to greet me
No completely
And so when reality's taken its toll
Just pretend that youre not in control
Oh complacency
And so know
It's okay feel alone
It's okay to feel not strong
Oh once in a while

I don't think this song is about killing yourself. I'm pretty sure it's about cynicism, and how it's alright to some extent, but you can't go too far with it.
No this song is not about sucide its about the fact that we feel the need to put up a mask of who we want people to think we are not who we really are. He realizes that no one can please you or nothing can make u happy but you! "Dont wait for ground to break" And, "its ok to feel alone" He states its ok to just be you and stop telling himself what he should be feeling to just listen to his emotions
I think this song talks about how someone wanted to kill himself but then decided against it. '' So believe in yourself...''
I agree with the last comment. I believe this song is about how he started giving up on himself and wanted to kill himself, but decided against it because he decided that life was hard for many people, and if he gave up it would give others the right to give up aswell.
the lyrics:
"It may be a lie But I�m tired And I�m right about ready to show no soul, no no"
should be changed to:
"I may be alive But I�m tired And I�m right about ready to shout no so, no no"
which changes the discussion about suicide vs. cynicism and in a way i think its both. But if you listen, the musical changes mirror the lyrical changes (ie. minor to major = hopeless to hopeful or at least acceptance of ones humanity). The speaker seems to come full circle of acceptance of the loss of control. powerful song :D
