It's Raining Again
Supertramp Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Oh no, my love's at an end
Oh no, it's raining again
And you know it's hard to pretend
Oh no, it's raining again
Too bad I'm losing a friend
Oh no, it's raining again
Oh, will my heart ever mend
You're old enough some people say
To read the signs and walk away
It's only time that heals the pain
And makes the sun come out again
It's raining again
Oh no, my love's at an end
Oh no, it's raining again
Too bad I'm losing a friend
La, la, la, la, la, la, la
Come on, you little fighter
No need to get up-tighter
Come on, you little fighter
And get back up again
It's raining again
Oh no, my love's at an end
Oh no, it's raining again
Too bad I'm losing a friend, oh
La, la, la, la, la, la, la
Come on, you little fighter
No need to get up-tighter
Come on, you little fighter
And get back up again
Oh, get back up again
Oh, fill your heart again
The lyrics to Supertramp's song "It's Raining Again" describe the feelings of despair and loss that come with the end of a romantic relationship. The singer laments that their love is at an end and that the rain serves as a metaphor for their tears. The repetition of the phrase "Oh no, it's raining again" emphasizes the hopelessness and exhaustion that come with trying to keep up a façade of strength.
Despite their pain, the singer acknowledges that time is the only thing that can heal their heartache and allow the sun to come out again. They encourage themselves to be strong by addressing themselves as a "little fighter" and reminding themselves to get back up again. Ultimately, the lyrics convey a sense of sadness but also a glimmer of hope for the future.
The song also features a catchy melody and harmonies, which help to counterbalance the melancholy tone of the lyrics. The use of the 80s synthesizer and pop influences in the instrumental section add to the nostalgic charm of the song. "It's Raining Again" is a timeless classic that touches the hearts of music fans of all ages.
