Under the Weather
Colossus Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sunshine blue skies please go away
My girl has found another, and gone away
With her went my future, my life is filled with gloom
So day after day I stay locked up in my room

I know to you it might sound strange,
But everyone knows, that a man ain′t supposed to cry, I gotta cry
Cause crying, Is the pain ooo yeah
Words could never explain, I just wish it would rain




Ooo yeah, let it rain,
Ooo yeah yeah, Oooooo baby

Overall Meaning

In Colossus's song "Under The Weather," the lyrics express feelings of heartbreak and despair. The singer is feeling downcast, as his girlfriend has left him for another. The opening lines, "Sunshine blue skies please go away," suggest a contrast between the beauty of the sky and the pain the singer is experiencing. He feels lost without his girlfriend, and the future he had planned with her is now uncertain. This has left him feeling hopeless and trapped, and he seeks solace by isolating himself in his room.


The lyrics touch on the stereotype that men should not show emotion or cry, but the singer acknowledges that the pain he feels is too much to hide. He knows that others might find it odd, but crying is a necessary release for him. The line "Words could never explain, I just wish it would rain" expresses the desire for an outward reflection of his inner turmoil. Rain often symbolizes sadness, and he wants the world to see how he feels. The repetition of "Ooo yeah" in the chorus conveys the intensity of emotions that the singer is experiencing.

Been going back through some old music I haven't heard in at least 5 years... Suddenly "colossus liquicity" popped up in my head. Thinking of a snowy mountain background. And I found it... This song is legendary.

I know this song since july of 2012, since then, I listened this song at least once a day, and many days I listened it several times. Still I get goosebumps from the first to the last second of this song. I don't know what you guys think of this song, but to me, this songs is THE Zeus of all songs. No matter how good a songs is, it will never beat this song.
