Rain on Me
Lady Gaga Ariana Grande Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I only asked you to show me a real good time
I never asked for the rainfall
At least I showed up, you showed me nothing at all
It's coming down on me
Water like misery
It's coming down on me
I'd rather be dry, but at least I'm alive
Rain on me, rain, rain
Rain on me, rain, rain
I'd rather be dry, but at least I'm alive
Rain on me, rain, rain
Rain on me
Rain on me
Mmm, oh yeah, baby
Rain on me
Living in a world where no one's innocent
Oh, but at least we try
Gotta live my truth, not keep it bottled in
So I don't lose my mind
Baby, yeah
I can feel it on my skin
It's coming down on me
Teardrops on my face
Water like misery
Let it wash away my sins
It's coming down on me
Let it wash away
I'd rather be dry, but at least I'm alive
Rain on me, rain, rain
Rain on me, rain, rain
I'd rather be dry, but at least I'm alive
Rain on me, rain, rain
Rain on me
Rain on me
Rain on me
Oh yeah, yeah
Rain on me, ooh yeah
Rain on me
Rain on me
Hands up to the sky
I'll be your galaxy, I'm about to fly
Rain on me, tsunami
Hands up to the sky
I'll be your galaxy, I'm about to fly
Rain on me
I'd rather be dry, but at least I'm alive
Rain on me, rain, rain
Rain on me, rain, rain
I'd rather be dry, but at least I'm alive
Rain on me, rain, rain
Rain on me
I hear the thunder coming down, won't you rain on me?
Rain on me
I hear the thunder coming down, won't you rain on me?
Rain on me
Lady Gaga's song "rain on me" is a collaboration with Ariana Grande, and the lyrics reveal a message about resilience, perseverance, and finding hope in desperate times. The opening lines "I didn't ask for a free ride, I only asked you to show me a real good time" convey the idea that Lady Gaga did not want an easy life, but she wanted to experience joy and happiness while facing the challenges of life. She says she never asked for the rainfall, but at least she tried, while the other person showed her nothing at all. The contrast between the rainy weather and the person she is talking to is a metaphor for challenges and the need for support.
Lady Gaga then sings the chorus "Rain on me, rain, rain, I’d rather be dry, but at least I'm alive," which is about how pain and suffering are necessary for growth and healing. She acknowledges that she would rather not go through hard times, but being alive means embracing them and letting the healing process begin. The lines "Living in a world where no one's innocent, oh but at least we try, gotta live my truth, not keep it bottled in, so I don't lose my mind" suggest that in a world where everyone is flawed, it's important to be genuine and honest with oneself and others. It's better to let things out rather than bottling them up, as it can drive a person crazy. The song's second chorus repeats "Rain on me" indicating that Lady Gaga is ready to face whatever challenge this downpour brings.
The bridge is a joint-singing effort between the two artists, "Hands up to the sky, I'll be your galaxy, I'm about to fly, rain on me, tsunami". It amplifies the song's message of resilience and vulnerability, as they elevate each other and allow the rain to pour down on them so they can face their problems head-on. The song ends with Gaga repeating "I hear the thunder coming down, won't you rain on me?" reaffirming her readiness to face whatever challenge that may arise.
