Rainy Day
The Broadways Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You've been down for so long
The world can really do that to a kid
But you can't dwell on that shit
Gotta make the world the best you can
There's no reason for crying whoa oh keep on trying
Drink everyday to make the pain feel like it wasn't reall why there
Kill dreams in front of tvs
That is just what they love to hear
Maybe sometime... I will get off this fucking couch
I won't let this world drag me down
Kids like you and me will be FREE
Maybe sometime I won't have to wake up
And see another rainy day
A boring afternoon there's no prize at the end of this rainbow
No one to love
No one to talk to
So I'm gonna grab my umbrella and run outside




No rains gonna drown my ambition
Gonna make it this time

Overall Meaning

The Broadways song Rainy Day appears to be a hopeful message for someone who is down on their luck. The lyrics seem to convey that the person has been struggling for a long period of time and that the world has not been kind to them. However, the lyrics go on to encourage the person to not dwell on their struggles, but rather, to push forward and try to make the world a better place. The song emphasizes that there is no reason to cry and that one must keep trying because success and happiness are possible. The line "Drink everyday to make the pain feel like it wasn't real why there" seems to acknowledge that some people may turn to substances to cope with their problems, but the song suggests that this strategy is not sustainable in the long run and that one has to confront their problems head-on.


The lyrics also address the idea that society can be cynical and may enjoy seeing people's dreams fall apart. The line "Kill dreams in front of tvs, that is just what they love to hear" suggests that people in general may take pleasure in others' misfortunes. However, the song encourages the singer to not give up on their dreams and to continue to push past the hard times. The song ends on a note of hopefulness, with the singer determined to make it despite the rainy days.
