[English]

One of eight billion

Down in the mud, straying children

Lonely and lost, but we still run

Fight 'cause we must, we kill and we survive

Poisonous raindrops (raindrops)

We hope for the day when the rain stops (rain stops)

Until then, we stay under grained rocks (grained rocks)

And live with the pain, just tryna stay alive

The sky is falling down

Been raining for centuries

They say that it's meant to be, meant to be

But you are not alone

And we're not out of hope

We'll get out of the rain, we go

Out of the rain, you know

We're running away from home

No, we can't stay no more

We leave this world behind

Out of the rain, you know

We're running away from home

And no, we can't stay, we're on our way

And then one day we're gone

Far beyond the raindrops

...

Far beyond the raindrops

And you know they'll chase us

We gotta hide our traces

And no one can see our faces

And no one can see what we're about to do

The sky is falling down (the sky is falling down)

We're trapped in reality

On our way to insanity, on our way (on our way)

But you are not alone (you're not alone, yeah)

And we're not out of hope

We'll get out of the rain, we go

Out of the rain, you know (you know)

We're running away from home

No, we can't stay no more

We leave this world behind

Out of the rain, you know (you know)

We're running away from home

And no, we can't stay, we're on our way

And then one day we're gone

Far beyond the raindrops

(Yeah, hey)

...

Far beyond the raindrops

(Yeah, hey)

Far beyond the raindrops

(Whoa-oh, oh)

Far beyond the raindrops (yeah)

(Ooh, ooh, yeah-yeah, yeah, oh, oh)

Far beyond the raindrops (yeah)

(Oh, oh, oh, yeah-yeah, yeah, oh)

...

• Been raining for centuries

  ➔ Present Perfect Continuous Tense (auxiliary verb omission)

  ➔ This should be "It has been raining for centuries". The subject "it" and auxiliary verb "has" are omitted for brevity and informality. The core meaning is that the raining started in the past and continues to the present.

• They say that it's meant to be, meant to be

  ➔ Passive Voice and Ellipsis
