It's a metaphor

If sadness is a disease
Contagious and deadly
Spreading like wildfire
Igniting sparks

Then pain is an earthquake
Rumbling and deep
Tearing lives apart
Cracking both land and heart

And tears are floods
Dams bursting
Drowning helpless souls
Deep in their sorrow

So cuts are lightning
Sharp, painful, quick
Over in a flash
Always needing more

And if happiness is sunshine
Well, our worlds are all gray
Always leaving us to wonder
If we'll live to see the next day
