​

"Be the Rain" predominately uses meteorological imagery to invoke the conflicting feeling that emerges from beautiful yet perilous situations.  A theme that recurs throughout the album. 

 

Circumstantially, storms are relaxing and conversely terrifying in congruence with intangible emotions such as love, which is alluded to in the song's first stanza. 

 

The refrain is a counterintuitive desire for the storm, or difficult emotion, to be sustained in order to preserve the pleasure of discomfort.

 

The lyric video for "Be the Rain" uses conspicuous scenes of rain to compliment the songs lyrical imagery.
