Right as Rain itemprop=offers
Adele Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's better when something is wrong
You get excitement in your bones
And everything you do's a game
When night comes and you're on your own
You can say I chose to be alone
Who wants to be right as rain
It's harder when you're on top
'Cause when hard work don't pay off
And I'm tired there ain't no room in my bed
As far as I'm concerned
So wipe that dirty smile off
We won't be making up
I've cried my heart out
And now I've had enough of love
Who wants to be riding high
When you'll just crumble back on down
You give up everything you are
And even then you don't get far
They make believe that everything
Is exactly what it seems
But at least when you're at your worst
You know how to feel things
'Cause when hard work don't pay off
And I'm tired there ain't no room in my bed
As far as I'm concerned
So wipe that dirty smile off
We won't be making up
I've cried my heart out
And now I've had enough of love
Go ahead and still my heart
To make me cry again
'Cause it will never hurt
As much as it did then
We were both right
And no one had blame
But now I give up
On this endless game
'Cause who wants to be right as rain
It's better when something is wrong
I get excitement in my bones
Even though everything's a strain
When night comes and I'm on my own
You should know I chose to be alone
Who wants to be right as rain
It's harder when you're on top
'Cause when hard work don't pay off
And I'm tired there ain't no room in my bed
As far as I'm concerned
So wipe that dirty smile off
We won't be making up
I've cried my heart out
And now I've had enough of love
No room in my bed
As far as I'm concerned
So wipe that dirty smile off
We won't be making up
I've cried my heart out
And now I've had enough of love
In Adele's song "Right As Rain," she speaks about the idea of not wanting to be perfect and instead finding excitement and a sense of challenge in the imperfections of life. She suggests that it's better to have something go wrong, as it provides a sense of adventure and something to work towards, rather than being "right as rain" and having everything fall into place perfectly. She also acknowledges that sometimes hard work doesn't pay off and that it's okay to feel things deeply, even if they are painful emotions.
The chorus of the song is particularly powerful, as it describes the feeling of being fed up with love and relationships. Adele sings about being tired and not having any room in her bed for anyone else as she's cried her heart out and had enough of love. She seems to be suggesting that it's better to be alone than to constantly feel the pain of heartbreak and disappointment.
Overall, "Right As Rain" is a beautifully written song that tells a relatable story about the ups and downs of life and love. Adele's powerful vocals and emotive lyrics make this a standout track on her album.

But at least when you're at your worst
At least when you're struggling, you feel emotions deeply and honestly.

To allow me to express my emotions in a genuine and healthy way.
'Cause it will never hurt
Because no other pain will ever be as harsh as heartbreak.
As much as it did then
As much as it did in the past when the heartbreak first happened.
We were both right
We both had valid perspectives and reasons for our actions.
And no one had blame
Neither party was solely at fault for the situation.
But now I give up
But now I choose to move on and let go.
On this endless game
On the exhausting cycle of romantic relationships and heartbreaks.
Even though everything's a strain
Even though life is tough and challenging, there is still something thrilling about it.
You should know I chose to be alone
You should understand and respect my decision to be single and independent.
No room in my bed
I don't have the physical or emotional energy to hold someone else in my bed.
And now I've had enough of love
And now I've decided that I am done with dealing with the challenges of romantic relationships.

Abu Bakar Abu Bakar
on Set Fire to the Rain
I let it fall, my heart
And as it fell, you rose to claim it
It was dark and I was over
Until you kissed my lips and you saved me
My hands, they're strong
But my knees were far too weak
To stand in your arms
Without falling to your feet
But there's a side to you
That I never knew, never knew
All the things you'd say
They were never true, never true
And the games you play
You would always win, always win
But I set fire to the rain
Watched it pour as I touched your face
Well, it burned while I cried
'Cause I heard it screaming out your name
Your name
When I lay with you
I could stay there
Close my eyes
Feel you here forever
You and me together, nothing gets better
'Cause there's a side to you
That I never knew, never knew
All the things you'd say
They were never true, never true
And the games you'd play
You would always win, always win
But I set fire to the rain
Watched it pour as I touched your face
Well, it burned while I cried
'Cause I heard it screaming out your name
Your name
I set fire to the rain
And I threw us into the flames
When it fell, something died
'Cause I knew that that was
The last time, the last time
Sometimes I wake up by the door
That heart you caught must be waiting for you
Even now, when we're already over
I can't help myself from looking for you
I set fire to the rain
Watched it pour as I touched your face
Well, it burned while I cried
'Cause I heard it screaming out your name
Your name
I set fire to the rain
And I threw us into the flames
When it fell, something died
'Cause I knew that that was the last time
The last time
Oh, oh, no
Let it burn
Oh, oh
Let it burn
Let it burn
