i thought it was rage, not rain, but either is great obviously
yeah, i don't know! he doesn't do either, he just goes raaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyy-eeah-yeah!
― Karl Malone, Monday, 31 January 2022 19:44 (two years ago) link
i'm assuming that he's going for the exact rhyme opportunity, pain/rain, but it's true that it would be more fitting for the song if it went to rage, because he's been feeling a lot

many fans are saying that the reason they broke up is because of the way he was leaning on her in that one scene, just before she disappears (another clue)
― Karl Malone, Monday, 31 January 2022 19:49 (two years ago) link
he was "leaning on her" for support, and he depended on her, but that's what made her leave.

soul patch country guy looks to be groping his way toward reinventing country music from the ground up, first by deconstructing it into all its constituent parts, then stitching them back together again exactly the same way as they were originally, except for the massive blood loss and trauma they suffered in the process.

i feel like one of these merits a sub-poll:no one to fuck with my mind- there is no one he can fuck, in a physical way- there is no one he can fuck mentally, with his mind- he doesn't have anyone there who will fuck with his mind, in a figurative way- he doesn't have anyone there who will fuck with his mind, in a mental sex kind of way
no one to fuck with my mind
- there is no one he can fuck, in a physical way- there is no one he can fuck mentally, with his mind- he doesn't have anyone there who will fuck with his mind, in a figurative way- he doesn't have anyone there who will fuck with his mind, in a mental sex kind of way
There's a fifth option, that he AND his mind have a double-dating situation where they EACH pick up a girl.

many are speculating that the flashing strobes on "the rain" are an allusion to LIGHTNING striking

The full-length version of the song comes off more pensive and less dramatic, maybe because it wanders aimlessly.

i lost track of it, yesterday. i couldn't find it on here, and then my googles were coming up empty. i kept searching for stuff like "pain and the rain"+"creed guy" and "catatonicyouths"...it was harder than it should have been
then out of nowhere i remembered "no one to fuck...with my mind" and i immediately found it. some trivia for Alone-heads is that there's one other song where "no one to fuck with my mind" comes up, and it's a song by the Electrocutes called Doombuggy that's actually pretty good. will be looking forward to the third instance of "no one to fuck with my mind" to see which direction it tilts!
