It Makes No Difference

The speaker is grieving the loss of a relationship and feels unable to move on. At first, the sadness seems constant, no matter where the speaker goes or what time it is. As the song develops, the loneliness becomes more personal: reminders of the lost love remain, and the speaker admits that holding back a confession takes effort. The mood is sorrowful and worn down, rather than angry.

Several images make this grief feel physical. The hurt is “like a scar,” suggesting a lasting mark that cannot simply be hidden or erased. The repeated sun and rain images turn emotional pain into bleak weather: the speaker’s world seems dark and soaked in sadness. “Read ’em and weep,” a phrase associated with accepting a bad result, makes the old love letters seem like painful evidence that the relationship is over.

The lyrics suggest that the speaker still loves the absent person, but they do not explain why the relationship ended or whether reunion is possible. “Love that dies untold” may mean feelings that were never fully expressed, though the speaker’s final words show a strong desire to speak now. The song can therefore be heard both as a lament for a lost relationship and as a struggle between confessing love and protecting oneself from further hurt.
