Cover art for It Will Follow the Rain lyrics by Tallest Man on Earth, The

I know that Kristian suffers from anxiety. Not that kind you get the morning after a night in the bottle or someting like that, but that one when your self-loathing is so great, you push dear ones away, and you blame yourself for every wrong in the world. It takes one, to know one. And his music is definitaly a steamer for his angst.

This song is obviously about a broken relationship.

The first part of a lyric is often the part that describes the predicament.

"Have you ever seen the far side Of a mountain swallow the sky As you travel through the valley And as your speedin' still far behind Through the valley where lovers climb"

It's pretty obvious in embrossment.

He's travelling toward to the far side of the mountain, and compares his realtionship with the climping of lovers. The fight for it to hold, though it does not hold, as he continues with an impressionistic description of the bitter end.

"Have you ever seen the locust Lean his wings right after a plague Like ascendin' of a dark cloud In the sunlight to end the day To kill the sunlight, to end the day"

But somehow, after every breakup there's some light, as in the end of the tunnel. Because we all know what's following the rain, don't we?
