Acid Rain Lyrics

Am I burning inside?
Cannot leave home tonight
Will I burst out in flames?
Leave a message behind

Will I break down in two?
Share the pieces with you?
Will you try to understand
That my heart is in pain?

Outside it's pouring rain
Outside it's pouring rain
Outside it's pouring down the acid rain

Are your soul leaving too
And you're left with no clue?
Staring blind through the rain
Asking, "Where have you been?"

Outside it's pouring rain
Outside it's pouring rain
Outside it's pouring down the acid rain

Did you feel the tunnel light leaving you?
Did you see the tunnel light?
All memories in high speed going home

And all the wounds I try to heal
Without you
Seems like an open cut forever more
And the words that I speak: will they ever release you?

Will your spirit delight
Pay a visit in time?
While the young ones are playing
They are wearing your name

Outside it's pouring rain
Outside it's pouring rain
Outside it's pouring down the acid rain

Did you feel the tunnel light leaving you?
Did you see the tunnel light?
All memories in high speed going home

And all the wounds I try to heal
Without you
Seems like an open cut forever more
And the words that I speak: will they ever release you?

Did you feel the tunnel light leaving you?
Did you see the tunnel light?
All memories in high speed of going home

And all the wounds I try to heal
Without you
Seems like an open cut forever more
And the words that I speak: will they ever release you?

Cover art for Acid Rain lyrics by Volbeat

In a recent track-by-track with Rocksound.TV, Michael Poulson went into what the story this song is trying to tell: “This song is about having an out-of-body experience and meeting people from the past." He further added how it’s a very emotional song for him because "In this out-of-body experience, I meet my dad and ask him if he saw the light when he passed away on a couch at home. You hear stories about people who were dead for a few minutes and then come back and they have a rush of memories that they had in life, and they see all of this at high speed. In the lyrics, I’m asking my dad a lot of questions, and I’m trying to invite him to show up to visit my family and see the grandkids that he never met. So, these are very emotional and personal lyrics.”
