Overall Meaning

This brief interlude from T-Pain's album "rEVOLVEr" is a phone conversation between T-Pain and a man who claims to have slept with T-Pain's girlfriend, Lorraine. At first, T-Pain is in shock and denies that Lorraine is his girlfriend. He then tries to quickly change the subject and ends up talking about his success in the music industry. This interlude is a commentary on the frivolous nature of some relationships and the way people often brush aside emotional issues in order to focus on material success.


T-Pain's response to the news that his girlfriend has been unfaithful is unexpected. He denies that Lorraine was ever his girlfriend at all, suggesting that their relationship was not serious or meaningful. This lack of attachment to romantic partners is a recurring theme in T-Pain's music, as he often presents himself as a player or a party boy who can't be tied down. The fact that the man who called him seems to genuinely believe that Lorraine was T-Pain's girlfriend highlights the gap between public perception and private reality. This phone call may have caused emotional turmoil for T-Pain, but he chooses to focus on his impressive achievements in the music industry instead of dwelling on his personal problems.


Overall, "Lorraine Interlude" is a brief but intriguing look at the way T-Pain views relationships and success. It is likely that this interlude is based on a real-life experience that T-Pain had, or perhaps that he imagined having. Either way, it is a strikingly honest and vulnerable moment in an album that is often filled with braggadocio and swagger.
