Raindrops Lyrics

Raindrops are falling on my shoulder
I've fought the battles of a soldier
one day you'll come back and find me
now that I've put the past behind me
then you'll see that I'm not half the man I used to be
I can see her face as I hallucinate
though she seems to fades so fast as senses dissipate
I see armies marching through the color red
so much space between my shoulders and my head
it was another part of me
an extension of my feelings
and though it seems
so mockingly
she holds the Ottawa treaty
when she comes to carry me
will she notice that I'm lighter
will she empathize my pain
will she identify with me
raindrops are falling on my shoulders
every breath I grow much older
I know my lover is an angel
kiss me and save me from my final hell
raindrops soak my shoulder seems so out of place
as the storm grows closer soon it hits my face
raindrops are falling on my shoulder
soon I'll fade away.

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I've always thought about this song being the final thoughts of a decapitated soldier, where the raindrops are his spewing blood. I'm pretty sure thats not what the band meant when they made this song, but the lyrics can be manipulated this way.
