Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We came all night long, won't you let it up?
He think I won't want to tear it up
We lit on our own, won't you let it up?
Let's go, nobody givin', addressing me
So nobody dress can effeminate me
Let's go, nobody taking a joke like me
So nobody dress can effeminate me
He think I don't want to tear it up
We came all night long, won't you let it up?
He think I won't want to tear it up
We lit on our own, won't you let it up?
Let's go, nobody givin', addressing me
So nobody dress can effeminate me
Let's go, nobody taking a joke like me
So nobody dress can effeminate me
Whoa, oh-oh-oh
(Whoa, whoa, whoa)
Swangin' on them
Swangin' on them, swangin' on them, swangin' on them days
Swangin' on them days, swangin' on them days
Swangin' on them, swangin' on them, swangin' on my ways
Your girl, she go hard in the baste
Swangin' on them, swangin' on them, swangin' on my ways
Swangin' on my ways
Swangin' on my ways
I've been thinking like, "Ayy, yo"
And I've been thinking like, "Ayy, yo" (sound of rain helps me let go of the pain)
And I've been thinking like, "Ayy, yo" (sound of rain helps me let go of the pain)
In the song "Sound of Rain," Solange sings about her desire to let go and truly enjoy herself, but feeling restricted by the expectations and judgments of society. The lyrics "He think I don't want to tear it up" and "We came all night long, won't you let it up?" refer to her wanting to be free to dance and have fun without being judged by others or confined by gender norms. She also mentions the importance of being true to oneself, singing "So nobody dress can effeminate me" and "nobody taking a joke like me." These lines affirm the importance of individuality and refusing to conform to societal expectations.
The chorus of the song, "Swangin' on them days, swangin' on my ways," reinforces the themes of the song as Solange expresses her desire to be free from societal norms and expectations. The line "sound of rain helps me let go of the pain" suggests that the rain is a symbol of release and healing for her, allowing her to let go of any pain or frustration she may be feeling.
Overall, the song is a celebration of individuality, self-expression, and freedom, while also acknowledging the challenges and pressures that come with existing within a society that often stifles those things.
