Out Of My Head
Fling The Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Raindrops are falling on my head
and just like the guy whose feet
are too big for his bed
nothing seems to fit
those raindrops
are falling on my head
they keep falling.
So i just did me some

talking to the sun
and i said i didn't like the way
he got things done
he's sleeping on the job
those raindrops
are falling on my head
they keep fallin'
But theres one thing i know
the blues they send to meet me
won't defeat me it won't be long
till happiness
steps up to greet me
Raindrops keep falling on my head
but that doesn't mean my eyes
will soon be turning red
crying's not for me cause,
i'm never gonna stop the rain
by complaining,
because i'm free
nothings worrying me
it won't be long
till happiness
steps up to greet me
Raindrops keep falling on my head
but that doesn't mean my eyes
will soon be turning red
crying's not for me cause,
i'm never gonna stop the rain

by complaining,
because i'm free

Overall Meaning

The opening line sets the scene, where the persona is being rained on and feeling out of place, just like the guy whose feet are too big for his bed. The raindrops serve as a metaphor for the problems or challenges that the persona is facing. The next few lines suggest that he has tried talking to the sun, as if seeking some form of comfort, but it does not yield results. The persona then shifts to a more optimistic attitude, where he acknowledges that the rain won't defeat him, and that happiness is just around the corner, waiting to greet him. The chorus repeats that the raindrops keep falling on his head, but he won't cry or complain because he is free, and nothing is worrying him.

The song reflects a positive and uplifting message of hope in the face of adversity. The persona acknowledges his struggles but refuses to be defeated by them. Instead, he chooses to embrace his freedom and not let anything get in the way of his happiness. The song serves as a reminder that although we may face challenges, we should maintain a positive attitude and keep moving forward.
