Rainy Day
Mr. A.L.I. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The thought of always being ok
Would scare me like no other
But thinking's just a sad old trend
That belongs to yesterday
So who am I without my brains?
Am I a careless lover?
It's when I think I have no choice
That I place my leading bets

I'm better off without the rain
That pokes behind the curtains
And winter makes me wanna cry
And stay in bad all day
So who am I without my heart?
Am I an ice cold killer?
It's when I fear I don't know love
That I play the winning hand

Another day, another day in the rain
I just don't think I need another bad rainy day
Another day, another day in the rain
I just don't think I need another, bad rainy day
Another sad weary face
I'd rather be turning up the bass

I used to be mopey child
But now I'm fully geared up
My tongue is sharp, my dreams are wild
How crazy is my head?
And who am I without my soul?
Am I a piece of paper?
A gentle breeze to make me float
A gale to toss me down
Another day, another day in the rain
I just don't think I need another bad rainy day
Another day, another day in the rain
I just don't think I need another
Another bad rainy day

So finally I am my own best friend
And I won't be complaining ever again
I know my darling loves to be depressed
But I'd much rather make for happiness

Another day, another day in the rain
I just don't think I need another bad rainy day
Another day, another day in the rain
I just don't think I need another bad rainy day
Another sad weary face
I'd rather be turning up the bass

Another day, another day in the rain
I just don't think I need another bad rainy day




Another sad weary face
I'd rather be turning up the bass!

Overall Meaning

In Mr. A.L.I.'s "Rainy Day," he reflects on the emotions that come with rainy weather. He begins by describing how the idea of always being okay is frightening, and that sometimes "thinking" is a thing of the past. He questions who he is without his essential parts, like his brain or his heart, and makes a connection between those ideas and his choices. He thinks that he is better off without the rain that comes with a grey day and how it can make him feel down and compelled to stay in bed. He wonders if without these essential parts of his being, like his soul, he is just a meaningless piece of paper drifting about in the breeze. The song builds to a crescendo of self-reflection before he confidently asserts that he is his own best friend and will not complain again. In the end, rather than being sad, he'd rather turn up the bass and be happy.


This song could be interpreted as a depiction of the way that weather can impact moods and emotions. Rainy days are common triggers for depression, and this song explores how sometimes it just takes small changes, like being more positive and listening to music, to shift those emotions.
