Lyric discussion by despondent optimist 

Cover art for Rain Song lyrics by Sunny Day Real Estate

I think this song is about being deceived, but a self deception or denial rather than one inflicted by others. Its as if everyone else can see that this person is poison; and yet, you refuse to see it and convince yourself eventually this person will accept you and love you, whereas its all a dream. Candy is just something in a pretty wrapper that is unhealthy for you in the end.

Well, I suppose that was all somewhat obvious, but I just felt like blabbing at 1 in the morning.

Nevermind the words they waste They can't see you're mine Waiting here until words run out Dreaming of the day when you open your arms In the light of our love...
