Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head
J.Thomas Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
Talking to the sun
And I said I didn't like the way
He got things done
Sleeping on the job
Those raindrops
Are falling on my head
They keep fallin'
But there's one thing I know
The blues they send to meet me
Won't defeat me, it won't be long
'Til 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
Nothing's worrying me
It won't be long
'Til 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
Nothing's worrying me
The first stanza describes the feeling of not fitting in and feeling out of place, much like the guy whose feet are too big for his bed. The raindrops falling on his head are a metaphor for the various obstacles and challenges that he faces in his life. The constant falling of the raindrops is symbolic of how these challenges seem to be never-ending.
In the second stanza, the singer talks to the sun and expresses his frustration with the way things are going in his life. He feels that the sun is not doing his job properly and is sleeping on the job. This can be interpreted as a way of expressing his frustration with the universe and the way things are turning out for him.
However, despite all the challenges he faces, the singer remains optimistic in the third stanza. He is aware that the blues will always come to meet him, but he believes that happiness is just around the corner. He is determined not to give up and let the challenges defeat him. The raindrops keep falling on his head, but he is aware that crying is not going to make them go away. He chooses to remain free and not let anything worry him.
Overall, the song is about the struggles that we all face in life but encourages us not to give up hope and believe that happiness is just around the corner.
