This is one of my most beloved songs by them. When I was younger and not doing well in school (my average in Elementary school was around the 50's), as well as coping with my father's suicide, I felt like my entire childhood was a closed door to how great life can really be when effort is made to make sense of who you are and what your ultimate purpose in reality is. I feel that these important questions can be answered with a strong internal analysis of yourself and setting goals that bring yourself closer to the hidden potential that is embedded in all of us.
I lost so much weight during my first year in high school, bumped my average to a whopping 90% average and truly didn't feel worthless for the real first time in my life. I heard this song around that time, and right away I understood that my life changed for the better, and felt genuinely happy for the first time in my life. Today, I hold two honors university degrees.
Oh God it's raining But I'm not complaining It's filling me up with new life The stars in the sky Bring tears to my eyes They're lighting my way tonight
And I haven't felt so alive In years
Just for a day On a day like today I'll get away from this constant debauchery The wind in my hair Makes me so aware How good it is to live tonight
And I haven't felt so alive In years
The moon Is shining in the sky Reminding me Of so many other nights But they're not like tonight
Oh God it's raining And I'm not containing My pleasure at being so wet Here on my own All on my own How good it feels to be alone tonight
And I haven't felt so alive In years
The moon Is shining in the sky Reminding me Of so many other nights When my eyes had been so red I'd been mistaken for dead But not tonight
