Singing in the Rain
G. Kelly Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

She don't hit me up anymore, no
Things that were fun just ain't fun anymore, no
Six in the morning, I know I should go home
But I'm
High as fuck and the clock's screaming tick-tock
Girls in the suburbs singing Smiths songs
I know that it's wrong
I don't know what I'm doin', but

Baby one day it'll all make sense (Oh)
Baby one day it'll all make sense (Oh)
Baby one day it'll all make sense
But I just don't know when
And it feels like the end
And all of my friends
Said

That I should get my mind off of the wrong things
I should probably tear off all my heart strings
You can't pull them no more (you know? ayy) No
Baby one day it'll all make sense

Ayy, yeah
Six A.M. on Persian rugs
It's just me and her on drugs
We dip, we just had to swerve the clubs
Paranoid, all on our own
We just tryna be alone
We don't ever feel alone
'Cause people always watchin', yeah
Know this feels apocalyptic
People, they could not predict it
They just bein' optimistic, fuck 'em (fuck 'em) yeah
Listenin' to the Pixies 'til we drunk off all this whiskey
Now we lay here, and it's only you and I
Where we go from here?
Fuck it, life's so sinful, this what I'm into
If you don't understand, maybe I'm mental
I know I'm crazy, yeah, ayy
You don't know what I been through
That text that I sent you, might have been drunk
But that message, I meant 'em
Just got deleted, should have said the real shit
To be continued, ayy

I got a little water bottle full of whiskey
Oh you lookin' pretty like a model, you should kiss me
You so cool with your drugs and your ripped jeans
I'm with you, but you ain't with me, no, no

Baby one day it'll all make sense
But I just don't know when
And it feels like the end
And all of my friends, said

That I should get my mind off of the wrong things

I should probably tear off all my heart strings
You can't pull them no more

Overall Meaning

Kelly's song Singing in the Rain is a melancholic track exploring themes of fear, insecurity and longing for something more. He begins by lamenting the loss of connection he used to share with a certain person who no longer hits him up. He also realizes that activities that used to be fun now seem dull and he is left listless in the early morning hours while being 'high as fuck.' Kelly admits that he doesn't know what he is doing and is aware that it's not right. The girls in the suburbs singing Smiths songs did not give him the solace he hoped for. He remains unsure when all will make sense, but he holds on knowing someday it will.

The song seems to be about Kelly's relationship struggles, as he takes the listener on a journey of two people in love, doing everything they can to hold onto each other despite the temptation to let go. The lines "where we go from here?", and "If you don't understand, maybe I'm mental" seem to refer to Kelly's sense of uncertainty about the future of the relationship. He knows that he and his partner are meant to be together, but he's unsure how to keep things going. However, the song also touches on societal pressures and expectations as Kelly seems to be aware of society's judgment of his choices, but still chooses to push forward.

I'm in a situation where it's just me and someone else under the influence, feeling like we're the only ones in the world. We're trying to escape and not be judged, just living in the moment. I might seem crazy to others, but they don't know what I've been through. I might have sent a message while drunk, but the feelings behind it were real. To be continued...

I got a little water bottle full of whiskey Oh you lookin' pretty like a model, you should kiss me You so cool with your drugs and your ripped jeans I'm with you, but you ain't with me, no, no
I have alcohol with me and I find the other person attractive, but I feel like they're not really connecting with me despite our shared behavior.
