Out Of The Rain – English Lyrics
Lyrics & Translation
[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)
...
