Coloured Rain

The speaker looks back on a time when he felt young, directionless, and unsure of what he wanted. His days passed without a clear purpose, and he describes an “empty space” and pain. The arrival of another person seems to change his emotional life: he begins to feel love and possibility. The movement is from loneliness toward excitement, though the lyrics do not explain exactly who this person is or what their relationship involves.

“Coloured Rain” is the central image. Rain is usually associated with grey weather, but making it coloured suggests that life has become vivid or unusual. Saying it “tastes like” rain mixes the senses: the feeling is so strong that the speaker imagines experiencing it physically. The “sail of changing” may suggest a new direction, like a sail catching wind. “Bringing love into my eyes” implies that love changes how he sees the world.

The repeated invitation to “bring on” the rain sounds eager, as if the speaker welcomes this new intensity rather than fearing it. Still, “coloured rain” is an open-ended image, not a precise description of happiness. It could suggest wonder, emotional change, or a mixture of feelings. The lyrics present the new person as a turning point, but leave the nature and permanence of that change uncertain.
