Radiate
Tricia Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Perfect weather said goodbye
And you ask me am I okay
Isn't it obvious
Looking like I'm such a mess
Not gonna let it ruin my day
With glitter sparkle rain boots
Ready to jump into
Whatever comes my way
Not gonna let the rain
Let the rain bring me down
You make sunshine
And push the clouds out the way
Not gonna let the rain
Let the rain bring me down
You can be my sunshine
And we can radiate
Oh, oh, oh
You should really know by now
This would never bring me down
But still you ask me am I okay
So let me make it obvious
Even if I'm still a mess
I'll be standing with a smile on my face
Waiting on a rainbow
Waiting while the wind blows
With my polka dot umbrella, ella
Not gonna let the rain
Let the rain bring me down
You make sunshine
And push the clouds out the way
Not gonna let the rain
Let the rain bring me down
You can be my sunshine
And we can radiate
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
And when the sun goes down You radiate
And when the rain comes down You radiate
And when the sun goes down You radiate
And when the rain comes down You radiate
And when we all fall down You radiate
And when we hit the ground You radiate
Not gonna let the rain
Let the rain bring me down
You make sunshine
And push the clouds out the way
Not gonna let the rain
Let the rain bring me down
You can be my sunshine
And we can radiate
Not gonna let the rain
Let the rain bring me down
You make sunshine
And push the clouds out the way
Not gonna let the rain
Let the rain bring me down
You can be my sunshine
And we can radiate
Oh, oh, oh
The song "Radiate" by Tricia is an uplifting anthem that encourages listeners to not let the rain bring them down. The first verse starts off by describing storm clouds in the sky and how perfect weather has said goodbye. The singer is asked if she is okay but she responds that it is obvious that she looks like a mess. However, she is not going to let the rain ruin her day and is ready to jump into it with glitter sparkle rain boots. She declares that she will not let the rain bring her down because her friend makes sunshine and pushes the clouds out the way. The chorus repeats this sentiment with the added line "You can be my sunshine and we can radiate".
The second verse continues with the theme of not letting the rain bring her down. The singer acknowledges that the situation may not be ideal and she may still be a mess, but she will stand with a smile on her face. She is waiting for a rainbow and enjoying the wind with her polka dot umbrella. The bridge of the song shifts from rain to other life struggles. It describes how the friend radiates even when the sun goes down, the rain comes down, and when they all fall down. The chorus repeats again, emphasizing that they will radiate even in the face of adversity.
Overall, the song communicates the power of positivity and having someone in your life who radiates positivity, even when things are tough.

Glad she's still producing music as a solo artist. Now I know where to look for the same sound I used to adore Superchick for.

You are awesome Trisha this is on my favorites by you off of the CD. I listen to it really loud all the time. I'm trying to get my neighbors addicted to you like I am. I love your music with all my heart. The sun makes me happy when I'm depressed. I've struggled with depression for a long long time and it sucks. I wonder if I use this song when I wanted to cut if I would still do it. I wish that I could meet you and tell you thank you. You're so amazing I love you with all my heart. My birthday is in May on the 12th. I only pray and pray and pray that I can meet you or just get to talk to you somehow. I've tried to reach you on Facebook but nothing. You're my hero and I play a lot of your songs on the piano. I love you with all my heart. Love always Angelina
