Blaze It
Ziggi Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Don't you know each cloud contains pennies from heaven?
You'll find your fortune's fallin' all over the town
Be sure that your umbrella is upside down
Trade them for a package of sunshine and flowers
If you want the things you love, you must have showers
So, when you hear it thunder, don't run under a tree
Every time, every time it rains, it's gonna rain pennies from heaven
Don't you know every cloud contains lots of pennies from heaven
You'll find your fortune's fallin', baby, all over the town
Be sure, be sure that your umbrella is upside down
Trade them for a package of sunshine and flowers
If you want the things you love, you've got to have showers
So, when you hear it thunder, don't run under a tree
There'll be pennies from heaven for you and me
The lyrics of Ziggi's song Blaze It Pt 2 take inspiration from the classic jazz standard "Pennies from Heaven" by Bing Crosby. The reference to the rain is used as a metaphor for the blessings that life can bring unexpectedly. The song suggests that these blessings are all around us and that we need to be open to receiving them. By turning our umbrellas upside down and being prepared to receive the unexpected, we can be showered with good fortune.
The lyrics also suggest that the rain can be a necessary component for growth and happiness. Just as we need rain to nourish the earth and help plants grow, we need to embrace the challenges and difficulties in our lives to achieve our goals and be happy. The line "If you want the things you love, you must have showers" reflects this idea.
Overall, Blaze It Pt 2 is a song that encourages listeners to have a positive and open outlook on life, to embrace the challenges and opportunities that come their way, and to appreciate the small blessings that may seem insignificant but can add up to a life filled with richness and joy.
