The story of

I Cannot Rain

single / 2024-09-06
synth pop / hardware synths, drums, vocals

Do you know that feeling when you’re so depleted by all the bad stuff that you can’t even find it in yourself to cry anymore? (We honestly hope you don’t, by the way.) That’s what I once wrote a poem about one day. And when I heard Color Theory’s Syntakt (that’s an analog synth) base track, I actually thought of that old poem of mine almost immediately. I rewrote pretty much everything in it for the song, but the vibe stayed… and about 2 or 3 lines from the poem itself were left, pretty much untouched, in the song as well.

"When I heard Color Theory’s Syntakt base track, I actually thought of that old poem of mine..."

Heavy? Well, yes. But there’s still this little nudge reminding you to keep going, to live every moment, because “every life is just a loan” – and one day, we’ll have to give it back.

& lyrics

Plant the seed
 And tell me that you’re sure
 I can’t endure
 The silence, oh so loud
 
 Break the need
 And show me that you’ve cared
 Not so pure
 Any more than I have found
 
 Let me be
 I can’t be ever sure
 How to set it free
 Hear the silence pouring out
 I cannot rain
 I cannot rain out loud
 
 The empty shout
 The cry that doesn’t come
 Stormy sides
 The truth just came about
 
 Am I still
 Is this tiny cell not mine?
 Hum and groan
 For any life is just a loan
 
 Let me be
 I can’t be ever sure
 How to set it free
 Hear the silence pouring out
 I cannot rain
 I cannot rain out loud
 
 But main
 Would be that what isn’t
 Forgotten bars of an empty prison
 An empty prison
 
 Let me be
 I can’t be ever sure
 How to set it free
 Hear the silence pouring out
 I cannot rain
 I cannot rain out loud
