Rainy Days and Mondays
Rossum Emmy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sometimes I'd like to quit.
Nothing ever seems to fit.
Hanging around,
Nothing to do but frown.
Rainy days and Mondays always get me down.
Nothing is really wrong,
Feeling like I don't belong.
Walking around,
Some kind of lonely clown.
Rainy days and Mondays always get me down.
Funny but it seems I always wind up here with you.
Nice to know somebody loves me.
Funny but it seems that it's the only thing to do.
Run and find the one who loves me.
What I feel has come and gone before.
No need to talk it out.
We know what it's all about.
Hanging around,
Nothing to do but frown.
Rainy days and Mondays always get me down.
Funny but it seems that it's the only thing to do.
Run and find the one who loves me.
The one who loves me.
What I feel has come and gone before.
No need to talk it out.
We know what it's all about.
Hanging around,
Nothing to do but frown.
Rainy days and Mondays always get me down.
Hanging around,
Nothing to do but frown.
Rainy days and Mondays always get me down.
The song "Rainy Days and Mondays" by Rossum Emmy (also popularized by The Carpenters) is a melancholic track that speaks of a sense of loneliness, isolation, and an underlying feeling of dissatisfaction. The opening lines "Talking to myself and feeling old. Sometimes I'd like to quit. Nothing ever seems to fit" beautifully describe the waves of hopelessness that often wash over one on a rainy day or a Monday morning. The lyrics convey the feeling of monotony and pain when one is stuck in a rut and is unable to find respite from their mundane existence.
The chorus "Rainy days and Mondays always get me down" is a poignant reminder that certain days can be harder than others, and it's okay to feel that way. The lyrics also hint at the idea of finding solace in a significant other or someone who cares. This is seen in lines such as "Nice to know somebody loves me. Funny, but it seems that it's the only thing to do. Run and find the one who loves me."
Overall, the song portrays a relatable tale of feeling low and isolated while searching for comfort and companionship. Through the track, Rossum Emmy succeeds in providing a soundtrack that encapsulates the essence of a dreary, melancholic day that often leaves one feeling vulnerable and exposed.
