have you ever
Graham BLVD Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Someone told me long ago
There's a calm before the storm
I know it's been comin' for some time
When it's over so they say
It'll rain a sunny day
I know shinin' down like water
I want to know
Have you ever seen the rain?
I want to know
Have you ever seen the rain
Comin' down on a sunny day?
Yesterday and days before
Sun is cold and rain is hard
I know been that way for all my time
'Til forever, on it goes
Through the circle, fast and slow,
I know it can't stop, I wonder
I want to know
Have you ever seen the rain?
I want to know
Have you ever seen the rain
Comin' down on a sunny day?
Yeah
I want to know
Have you ever seen the rain?
I want to know




Have you ever seen the rain
Comin' down on a sunny day?

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Graham Blvd's song "Have You Ever?" speak to the cyclical nature of life and the contrast between appearances and reality. The opening lines suggest that there is a period of calmness before a storm, metaphorically representing a sense of anticipation or impending change. The singer acknowledges that this storm has been approaching for some time, indicating a prolonged period of uncertainty or hardship.


The following lines about rain on a sunny day touch on the idea that even when things seem bright and positive, there can still be challenges and hardships that occur unexpectedly. This juxtaposition serves as a metaphor for the complexities and contradictions of life. It also hints at the idea that storms or difficulties can arise even in the midst of seemingly perfect circumstances.


The lyrics then reflect on the past, noting that the sun can be cold and the rain can be hard. This statement suggests that life is not always as it appears, and that even in the past, there have been periods of struggle and discomfort. The line, "I know been that way for all my time," implies a personal connection to this experience, emphasizing that this is a long-standing pattern that the singer has observed throughout their life.


The chorus, which repeats the question "Have you ever seen the rain?" emphasizes the theme of questioning the illusions and contradictions of life. It suggests a desire to understand and navigate through the storms and challenges that arise, while also acknowledging the beauty and warmth that can be found even in difficult times.


Overall, "Have You Ever?" explores the duality of life, the unpredictability of circumstances, and the desire for understanding and clarity amidst the storms of life.
