Lyrics meaning

The lyrics describe someone trying to understand another personโ€™s sadness and asking for love in return. At first, the speaker treats tears as something that can be hidden or explained away, like rain. As the song continues, however, the mood grows more uncertain: the speaker seems to feel that sadness has entered their own heart and that hope may be missing.

The comparison between rain and tears suggests that crying can be disguised, especially in winter, when rain offers a believable excuse. โ€œPlay the gameโ€ may mean acting as if everything is fine when others can see you in the sunlight. The โ€œrainbow wavesโ€ in the heart suggest a mixture of feelings, perhaps a brief sense of beauty or hope amid sadness. The repeated request for an โ€œanswer of loveโ€ sounds like a plea for reassurance or a clear response.

The lyrics do not fully explain who is hurting or whether the relationship is ending. The speaker may be describing another personโ€™s hidden grief, their own disappointment, or both. The line about there never being a sun in the speakerโ€™s heart sounds deeply bleak, but the request for love still leaves room for hope. This contrast makes the song feel both sorrowful and emotionally unresolved.
