Lyrics: I waited for it to rain Memories move me Time stands still On the way to school You sang your idols Carefree, I thought Your ash-colored hair A too tender soul That nothing could soothe A glance over the shoulder Eyes circled with kohl You vanished Raised with alcohol Without consolation Lost forever You swam the river Forced to endure You reached the top So alone, waiting for you Hold my heart to break What have you done with it Do you think we're alike We were supposed to grow old together In our imperfect world The song "Kate" by Charlotte Gainsbourg tells the story of a person named Kate who carries a sense of vulnerability and innocence during her younger years. The lyrics describe Kate's life journey, including her carefree nature, her disappearance, and the struggles she faced. The song reflects on the pain and longing of someone who loved and knew Kate, questioning what happened to her and expressing a sense of loss and longing for their shared future. There is a lingering sadness and a sense of yearning for a connection that was lost.
