The Story Behind the Song
About depression that doesn't come with a reason attached -- no single loss or trauma to point to, just a darkness that's simply there, resistant to explanation. The title isn't evasion; it's the most honest thing the narrator can say about a feeling that doesn't reduce to a cause.
Lyrics
Black falls the rain Can’t wash my stains This anguish remains Dark wraps the days And I can’t explain (Can’t explain) Gray comes the dawn But night lingers on No hope can I see No daylight for me And I can’t explain No, I can’t explain Black falls the rain I can’t explain Can't wash my stains No, I can’t explain This anguish remains And I can't explain No can't explain
