Just like how thunder starts suddenly and unexpectedly, life can change in an instant The repeated plea of "let me touch you when I smile" further emphasizes the importance of physical and emotional connection in the relationship. Perhaps they feel that they are a better person with this individual in their life, but also recognize that they are capable of making mistakes with them as well. The chorus of "you're the one that makes me right and wrong" is particularly interesting, suggesting that the narrator's sense of identity is closely tied to their relationship with this person. The narrator acknowledges the fleeting nature of time, but finds solace in the fact that they have someone to "keep me hanging on" and make them "strong". The imagery of "light flickers in the dark, like the flash of a thunder start" and "rain drips down like silver" suggest a sense of beauty and wonder even in difficult times.

The lyrics to Octave Lissner's Silver Rain are open to interpretation, but at their core, the song is about finding a sense of purpose and support in someone else.
