Udah lama banget aku ingin ngepost postingan ini, tapi dipending mulu karena masih belum yakin. Kemudian entah mengapa, semalem tiba-tiba aku keinget dengan lagu ini dan postingan yang terpending lama. Setelah dibaca-baca, kayaknya postingan ini harus diposting biar gak kelamaan berada di ruang tunggu.
Hmmm... lagu ini pada dasarnya menggambarkan rasa sakit karena harus meninggalkan hubungan yang sebenarnya punya arti tersendiri baginya. Dia sangat mencintainya orang tersebut, tapi dalam perjalanan kisah cintanya, ternyata orang yang dicintainya itu bermuka dua. Sisi lain yang selama ini disembunyikannya akhirnya terbongkar juga. Meski sangat sulit untuk mengakgiri kisah cintanya itu, tapi hanya itulah yang terbaik meskipun tidak akan mudah. Lagu ini sangat simbolis dan aku menemukan makna tersendiri saat mendengarkannya, sangat dalem banget karena harus meninggalkan hubungan yang seharusnya berlanjut sesuai rencana tapi gagal. Meski dalam hati dia tidak mau, tapi dia harus melakukan itu.
Dia menggambarkan betapa berartinya dia baginya dapat dilihat dari lirik "...you kissed my lips and you saved me." Dan bagaimana perasaannya begitu sulit untuk melepaskan dapat dilihat dari lirik,

But I set fire to the rain,
Watch it pour as I touched your face
Let it burn while I cry.
Cause I heard it screaming at your name, your name.
Hujan yang dimaksud ini adalah simbolis belaka, semua kenangan bersamanya dan bagaimana ketika dia membakar kenangan itu dengan meneriakan namanya. Dia menangis karena tidak mudah untuk melepaskan hubungan yang telah lama dibinanya.
Susah dalam melupakan ini tentunya akibat dari perasaan betapa dia mencintai orang tersebut,

"When laying with you, I could stay there.
Close my eyes, feel you here forever.
You and me together, nothing is better.""Sometimes I wake up by the door
Now that you've gone, must be waiting for you
Even that when it's already over
I can't help myself from looking for you".
Kemudian, setelah dia tahu apa yang terjadi dengan kebohongan yang dilakukan oleh orang yang dicintainya itu terbongkar, tak ada yang bisa dilakuakn selain meninggalkannya, meskipun itu berat.
"But there's a side to you that I never knew, never knew.
All the things you'd say, they were never true, never true.
And the games you'd play, you would always win, always win."
Sebab kebohongan yang dia temui inilah mengapa dia ingin mengakhiri hubungan. Tidak mudah sebenarnya, tapi harus.
Dan kenapa aku memposting arti lagu ini? sebab utamanya adalah karena aku sangat-sangat menyukai lagu ini.
I let it fall, my heart,
And as it fell you rose to claim it
It was dark and I was over
Until you kissed my lips and you saved me
My hands, they're strong
But my knees were far too weak
To stand in your arms
Without falling to your feet
But there's a side to you
That I never knew, never knew
All the things you'd say
They were never true, never true
And the games you play
You would always win, always win
[Chorus]
But I set fire to the rain
Watched it pour as I touched your face
Well, it burned while I cried
'Cause I heard it screaming
Out your name, your name
When I lay with you
I could stay there
Close my eyes
Feel you here forever
You and me together
Nothing gets better
'Cause there's a side to you
That I never knew, never knew
All the things you'd say
They were never true, never true
And the games you play
You would always win, always win
But I set fire to the rain
Watched it pour as I touched your face
Well, it burned while I cried
'Cause I heard it screaming
Out your name, your name
I set fire to the rain
And I threw us into the flames
Well, it felt something died
'Cause I knew that that was
The last time, the last time
Sometimes I wake up by the door,
That heart you caught must be waiting for you
Even now when we're already over
I can't help myself from looking for you
I set fire to the rain
Watched it pour as I touched your face
Well, it burned while I cried
'Cause I heard it screaming
Out your name, your name
I set fire to the rain,
And I threw us into the flames
Well, it felt something died
'Cause I knew that, that was the last time
The last time
Let it burn
Let it burn
Let it burn
And as it fell you rose to claim it
It was dark and I was over
Until you kissed my lips and you saved me
My hands, they're strong
But my knees were far too weak
To stand in your arms
Without falling to your feet
But there's a side to you
That I never knew, never knew
All the things you'd say
They were never true, never true
And the games you play
You would always win, always win
[Chorus]
But I set fire to the rain
Watched it pour as I touched your face
Well, it burned while I cried
'Cause I heard it screaming
Out your name, your name
When I lay with you
I could stay there
Close my eyes
Feel you here forever
You and me together
Nothing gets better
'Cause there's a side to you
That I never knew, never knew
All the things you'd say
They were never true, never true
And the games you play
You would always win, always win
But I set fire to the rain
Watched it pour as I touched your face
Well, it burned while I cried
'Cause I heard it screaming
Out your name, your name
I set fire to the rain
And I threw us into the flames
Well, it felt something died
'Cause I knew that that was
The last time, the last time
Sometimes I wake up by the door,
That heart you caught must be waiting for you
Even now when we're already over
I can't help myself from looking for you
I set fire to the rain
Watched it pour as I touched your face
Well, it burned while I cried
'Cause I heard it screaming
Out your name, your name
I set fire to the rain,
And I threw us into the flames
Well, it felt something died
'Cause I knew that, that was the last time
The last time
Let it burn
Let it burn
Let it burn
