Still Falls The Rain Lyrics
Dear Hyde -
No more can I
explain, I've tried
with words in vain
They pass you by
like falling rain
from perfect skies
Still falls the rain
inside
Hey brother---don't be square
Here it is, not over there
I'm your man---I've got it made
You need my fire
You need my shade
You're here, Hyde
Once more, inspire
this strangely tied
uncertain frame
So torn inside
Still falls the rain
Two minds, one vein
Still falls the rain
inside
Hey doctor---don't be scared
It's you and me, so where's my share?
I'm the man---just move aside
Call me mister
Call me Hyde
Hey lover---don't be shy
I'm a single-minded guy
Better watch me---boy, I'm rough
Half a man ain't strong enough
Hey brother---don't be square
Here it is, not over there
I'm your man---I've got it made
You feed my fire
You need my shade
No more can I
explain, I've tried
with words in vain
They pass you by
like falling rain
from perfect skies
Still falls the rain
inside
Here it is, not over there
I'm your man---I've got it made
You need my fire
You need my shade
Once more, inspire
this strangely tied
uncertain frame
So torn inside
Still falls the rain
Two minds, one vein
Still falls the rain
inside
It's you and me, so where's my share?
I'm the man---just move aside
Call me mister
Call me Hyde
Hey lover---don't be shy
I'm a single-minded guy
Better watch me---boy, I'm rough
Half a man ain't strong enough
Here it is, not over there
I'm your man---I've got it made
You feed my fire
You need my shade

I understand this song was RARELY played in concert. But that they did do it I believe in Spain in 2006-2007? Great song - obviously (IMHO) - about the Jeckyl and Hyde in us all... and the struggle within to manage that mix.
It was performed on the Manifesto tour. BF used to announce it as a song for schizophrenics, or those with an interest in schizophrenia

This song is about the famous work of literature called "The Strange Case Of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde". Jekyll and Hyde are one and the same, but Hyde is evil.
> Dear Hyde > No more can I > Explain, I've tried > With words in vain
The singer, portraying Dr Jekyll, is about to kill himself, which is why he says he can't and he's tried to explain.
> They pass you by > Like falling rain > From perfect skies > Still falls the rain > Inside
Hyde ignores Jekyll's pleas, stated by the simile "like falling rain". He adds "from perfect skies", meaning that Hyde is overwhelming to Jekyll. The same interpretation comes from "inside".
> Hey brother, don't be square > Here it is, not over there > I'm your man, got it made > Feed my fire, need my shade
The singer turns into Hyde and trying to persuade Jekyll to not get rid of him and that he's his best friend.
> You're here, Hyde > Once more, inspire > This strangely tied > Uncertain frame
Jekyll notices that Hyde is present, so by "inspire", it means that Hyde is giving Jekyll more reasons to get rid of him.
> So torn inside > Still falls the rain > Two minds, one vein > Still falls the rain > Inside
Again, Jekyll explains how he feels with Hyde. The rain (Hyde) keeps falling on him, and it won't stop. "Two minds, one vein" is talking about how Jekyll and Hyde have different thoughts and personalities, yet they're the same person.
The chorus is still Hyde persuading Jekyll on why he's the best thing that's happened to him. By the end of the song, it's very likely that Jekyll killed himself shortly after the events of the song.
