What this lyric means

The profound, almost weary, understanding that emotional turmoil (thunder) is an inevitable consequence of deeper, ongoing struggles or conditions (raining). It's a statement of acceptance and resigned wisdom.

The visual concept

A solitary, ethereal figure (perhaps a silhouette reminiscent of Stevie Nicks) standing on a desolate, windswept cliff edge, observing a distant, quiet storm. The storm isn't violent, but vast and inevitable, merging with a dramatic, bruised sky. The rain is a soft, continuous veil.

Mood: Melancholic Acceptance
