Sorry that last comment was vague and irrelevant. "Defacing pictures of famous people on the train Standing by the monument just waiting for the rain" I think this means that the girl is on the train moving away, and the guy is waiting by the monument waiting for her but she's gone so he's just waiting for the rain, for nothing. Just wasting his time.

Haha. I love your "vague and irrelevant" comment. You sound so like someone I know. And it made me laugh.

And this comment was pretty irrelevant.

But yeah. Waiting in the rain and wasting his time - what a relateable image.
