On November 22nd, 2002, the band released Trapt, along with the single "Headstrong". "Headstrong" became a fantastic hit, reaching #1 on alternative charts and #16 on pop. Follow-up singles "Still Frame" and "Echo" (with a video featuring Michelle Trachtenberg) did respectably, although they never reached the heights of "Headstrong". "Headstrong" became the official theme song of WWE Bad Blood for June 2003. Trapt eventually hit platinum. After more than one year an EP followed on March 30th, 2004, that included a new song called "Promise" along with live versions of "Made Of Glass" and "Echo".
On September 13th, 2005, the band released their sophomore album "Someone In Control" along with the single "Stand Up". "Stand Up" failed to do as well as any of their previous singles, although it still made an excellent run on active rock stations. "Waiting" and "Disconnected (Out Of Touch)", were also released as singles, and have yet to repeat the success of any of Trapt's self-titled radio hits. The band spent the first half of 2006 co-headlining with Shinedown as part of the Equinox Tour.
A live album was released in September, 2007, containing live tracks from both previous albums with new studio tracks "Stay Alive" and "Everything to Lose".
Trapt hit the studio in July 2007 to begin recording their 3rd album, which was released on 5th August 2008 named "Only Through the Pain...".
Trapt announced in late fall/early winter 2009 they were working on a new album for summer or fall release in 2010. On July 20, 2010, Trapt released their first single "Sound Off," for the upcoming album "No Apologies," due out in stores October 12, 2010.
Forget About The Rain
Trapt Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To look to better days
Well I don't feel alright
Yeah you know its not the same
The weather her was nice
But the sun has gone away
Tell me why those clear skies have suddenly changed
I just hope that I'm not alone
Oh I hope I'm not alone
Is there a space reserved for me
Sheltered from the wrong, who really knows
Who really knows
[Chorus]
Just forget about the rain,
Don't let your worries wash you away
And lets forget about the rain
Hold on to the cover before the storm comes
When the sky is overcast
The clouds are the darkest gray
I remember what I had
Oh I dream of yesterday,
So caught up in the past
The memories don't fade
I know this wont last,
In the past I cant stay
I don't know where I am going
I just hope that I'm not alone
Oh I hope I'm not alone
Is there a space reserved for me
Sheltered from the wrong, who really knows
Who really knows
[Chorus]
As soon as I am here, dry up all your tears
The sun will come to shine on you again,
They will disappear and so will all your fears
And the storm that you've been hiding from will end
[Chorus]
[Repeat: Until end]
Lets forget about the rain

I know I've go to try
I understand that I need to make an effort
To look to better days
To focus on a brighter future
Well I don't feel alright
I am not feeling well
Yeah you know its not the same
Things have changed and are no longer the same
The weather here was nice
The environment was pleasant
But the sun has gone away
The good times have passed
Tell me why those clear skies have suddenly changed
I want to understand why things have taken a turn for the worse
I don't know where I am going
I am unsure of my direction
I just hope that I'm not alone
I hope to have companionship along the way
Oh I hope I'm not alone
The fear of being alone is present
Is there a space reserved for me
Is there a place for me to belong?
Sheltered from the wrong, who really knows
I am searching for a place where I can be safe and free from harm
Just forget about the rain
Forget about the hardships
Don't let your worries wash you away
Don't let your problems overwhelm you
Hold on to the cover before the storm comes
Prepare for the difficulties that lie ahead
When the sky is overcast
When things are not going well
The clouds are the darkest gray
The situation seems hopeless
I remember what I had
I reflect on past happiness
Oh I dream of yesterday
I long for the past
So caught up in the past
I am stuck in my memories
The memories don't fade
The past continues to haunt me
I know this won't last
I realize that the current situation is temporary
In the past I can't stay
I need to move on from past experiences
As soon as I am here, dry up all your tears
I will support you and help you overcome your pain
The sun will come to shine on you again
There will be happier times in the future
They will disappear and so will all your fears
Your problems will go away and your worries will ease
And the storm that you've been hiding from will end
You will finally be able to face and overcome your difficulties
Let's forget about the rain
Let's not dwell on the hardships and instead focus on the good times
