Rain
Cunninl Ynguists Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

[Kno]
The saddest thing I ever learned is relationships don't last
Or maybe I just feel that way cause of my past
Bad memories get to me when I drink mad Hennessey
feeling cold and alone even when I got mad friends with me
I'll still see something that reminds me of her
I got so used to her that without her my mind is a blur
She found somebody quick. I won't find another for a while
She was about to be my wife and mother of my child
It's crazy how you can have your life arranged
and the day you get engaged you notice she's acting strange
like everything's changed and suddenly you don't trust her just the same
then you find out some other man's been fuckin out her brains
That's when your heart starts to feel the pain
so much that you can feel it in your veins and you can't forget her name
That's when you Literally go insane
and you feel like you're so sad you make it rain and then a song plays that says

[Chorus]
Wise Men say, "It looks like rain today"
Crackled on the speakers
Trickle down the sleepy subway train

[Kno]
I'll never understand how a girl can say she loves a man
and turn around and have sex with another man
I would have much rather been robbed for a hundred grand
than to get interrupted and get a call that she's touching hands
with another man. Oh God! Another man!
I can't even cry. My tears been dry. That's why it's thundering
hard out tonight and it's dark and it's cold
Cause the angels can hear me cry, and it's all in my soul
and all of them know I've never felt this pain in my past
And it's ironic the first place we made love's the same as the last
In the shower ... that's why I put the rain with her name
And my power to trust someone again has faded away
Other girls want me? Tell em it looks like rain today
I wallow in my sorrow, smoke, and watch tapes that we made
And one of them tapes is the day I got played like games in arcades
The day I almost gave up everything that I gained
It's crazy how you can have your life arranged
and the day you get engaged you notice she's acting strange
like everything's changed and suddenly it's on tape and you crumble
cause you notice on the tape she doesn't kiss you, she just fucks you
That's when your heart starts to feel the pain
so much that you can feel it in your veins and you can't forget her name
That's when you Literally go insane
and you feel like you're so sad you make it rain and then a song plays that says





[Chorus]

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Cunninlynguists's song "Rain" are a somber reflection on lost love and heartbreak. Kno, the rapper and songwriter on the track, expresses his disillusionment with relationships, particularly how they can fall apart even when you think everything is going well. He speaks about feeling lonely and detached, despite having friends around him, and how the memories of his past relationship refuse to fade away even when he tries to move on.


Kno delves deeper into the pain and confusion he feels when he discovers that his ex has been unfaithful. He shows contempt for her actions, comparing the emotional toll it took on him to being robbed of a large sum of money. He emphasizes how this heartbreak is different from any pain he's felt before, stating that he's never felt this way in his past. Kno's lyrics also describe how seeing tapes of their intimate moments only make the situation worse for him, as they highlight the betrayal and the realization that the relationship isn't coming back.


Throughout the song, Kno uses the metaphorical imagery of rain to represent the weight of his emotions. The chorus, which borrows from an Elvis Presley song, is particularly prominent in this regard, with rain serving as a backdrop to his despair. The rain symbolizes the tears he can no longer shed, but also a cleansing force that, while bringing pain, can also signify healing and a release from the past.

The saddest thing I ever learned is relationships don't last
Realizing that relationships come to an end is the most disheartening thing in my life


Or maybe I just feel that way cause of my past
Possibly, the reason I feel this way is due to the unpleasant experiences I had before


Bad memories get to me when I drink mad Hennessey
Unpleasant memories haunt me when I drink excessively


feeling cold and alone even when I got mad friends with me
Despite having many friends around, I still feel isolated and desolate


I'll still see something that reminds me of her
There are still things that remind me of the person I was once involved with


I got so used to her that without her my mind is a blur
My brain can't function correctly due to the loss of the person I once relied on


She found somebody quick. I won't find another for a while
The individual I lost quickly found a new partner, but I anticipate having to wait for another significant connection


She was about to be my wife and mother of my child
My former partner was going to be my spouse and the mother of my offspring


It's crazy how you can have your life arranged
It's startling how a planned-out life can unravel quickly


and the day you get engaged you notice she's acting strange
After getting engaged, it becomes apparent that my former partner was acting unusual


like everything's changed and suddenly you don't trust her just the same
I lost confidence in the person I was with since everything changed overnight


then you find out some other man's been fuckin out her brains
Further amplifying the agony, I found out that someone else had been intimate with my former partner


That's when your heart starts to feel the pain
It is at this moment that my heart begins to ache tremendously


so much that you can feel it in your veins and you can't forget her name
The pain is so intense that it feels like it's coursing through my veins, and I can't forget the name of the person who caused it


I can't even cry. My tears been dry. That's why it's thundering
I can't cry anymore, which is why the weather outside is violent


Cause the angels can hear me cry, and it's all in my soul
Even though I can't express my feelings out loud, they persist within me, and the heavens are aware of this


and all of them know I've never felt this pain in my past
The angels understand that I have never been in this much suffering before


I wallow in my sorrow, smoke, and watch tapes that we made
I drown myself in sadness by smoking and revisiting the videos we made together


And one of them tapes is the day I got played like games in arcades
One of the videos reminds me of the moment I was deceived and hurt like a child at an amusement park


That's when you Literally go insane
The experience is so intense that it drives someone to the edge of madness


and you feel like you're so sad you make it rain and then a song plays that says
The sadness is so overwhelming that the individual feels as though they are making it rain, and a coincidental song plays in the background
