WELL I see where you're coming from lowercaseperson18 and I somewhat agree but I think in this song (excluding the second line..which is where the problem is for me..) Rain refers more to God's ability to cleanse 'like rain': "Spirit, fall like rain on my thirsty soul" and it's a GOOD thing cause it's causing erosion / washing away sin.
"Rain is a bad reminder of everything I don't want to know" could be saying that God's rain reveals everything about you...all the bad things you know you've done... and that's a bad reminder just before you're cleansed, but you need to confess it and realize it WAS bad. Maybe he's afraid to confront all that ("everything i don't wanna know"), but knows he'll need to.
But the second verse gets me..
