RAINDROPS KEEP FALLIN' ON MY HEAD
The Popcorn Buckets Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And just like the guy whose feet
Are too big for his bed
Nothing seems to fit
Those raindrops
Are falling on my head
They keep falling.
So i just did me some
And i said i didn't like the way
He got things done
He's sleeping on the job
Those raindrops
Are falling on my head
They keep fallin'
But theres one thing i know
The blues they send to meet me
Won't defeat me it won't be long
Till happiness
Steps up to greet me
Raindrops keep falling on my head
But that doesn't mean my eyes
Will soon be turning red
Crying's not for me cause,
I'm never gonna stop the rain
By complaining,
Because i'm free
Nothings worrying me
It won't be long
Till happiness
Steps up to greet me
Raindrops keep falling on my head
But that doesn't mean my eyes
Will soon be turning red
Crying's not for me cause,
I'm never gonna stop the rain
By complaining,
Because i'm free
The lyrics to the Popcorn Buckets' song "Raindrops Keep Fallin' on My Head" is about the singer's indifference towards things that are out of their control. The singer tells of their predicament where "raindrops are falling on my head," and even though "nothing seems to fit," the singer is optimistic that "happiness steps up to greet me" in the end. The singer goes on to say that they've had a talk with the sun and they didn't appreciate how it got things done, and it's "sleeping on the job," which is causing the rain to keep falling on their head. However, the singer doesn't allow this to worry them, and they say that they're free, and nothing is worrying them.
The song's lyrics are a metaphorical representation of the singer's struggles and their approach to it. The rain can represent the difficulties that the singer is facing while the sun represents someone in power that had the ability to change things but chooses not to take action. However, the singer chooses to focus on the fact that they're free, and it's okay for the rain to keep falling because they won't stop it by complaining.
