Raining in LA
Rainy Reflections: Carter Ace's Melancholic Journey Through LA Nights
Lyrics
Every day, a different night
Expressing the monotony of different nights.
Every day a different fight
Highlighting the constant battles faced each day.
Spending all my days competing with them
Describing the continuous competition experienced in life.
Outsiders got a different view
Noticing the unique perspective of outsiders.
From the one you and I do
Acknowledging differences in perception between "you and I."
So we try to put perspective in play
Attempting to gain a broader perspective.
But it’s hard these days. Sometimes you can’t
Expressing the difficulty of maintaining perspective.
With your head held down from constant pain
Facing challenges and pain with a bowed head.
Do we even know we’re in pain?
Raising awareness of potential unrecognized pain.
And we’re dealing with some things we can’t explain
Dealing with unexplainable circumstances.
And my momma always said, “Don’t cloud your brain”
Recalling advice from the speaker's mother to avoid clouding the mind.
But winter done came in and it’s raining in LA tonight
Introducing a change in seasons, symbolized by winter and rain in LA.
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Repetition emphasizing the impact of rain in LA.
Ooh-ooh, cause it’s raining in LA tonight
-Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
-Ooh-ooh, cause it’s raining in LA tonight
-Winter comes and goes but fall has been around for a minute
Reflecting on the passage of time and the persistence of fall.
All these turning points happen in it
Noting significant life changes occurring during fall.
All the weakest fall by spring
Observing that the weakest individuals may fall by spring.
And do I got the strength to keeping on
Questioning one's strength to endure and move forward, contemplating the challenges ahead.
And keeping forward? I wonder
-And if I got the strength, is it enough to keep running through summer?
-Well it’s hard to tell
Expressing uncertainty about distinguishing between heaven and hell.
What I thought was my heaven was actually hell
Realizing that what seemed like paradise was, in fact, a difficult situation.
Yeah it’s actually hell, hell, hell
-And we’re dealing with some things we can’t explain
Reiteration of dealing with inexplicable situations.
And my momma always said, “Don’t cloud your brain”
Recalling maternal advice to maintain mental clarity.
But winter done came in and it’s raining in LA tonight
Reiterating the arrival of winter and rain in LA.
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Repetition emphasizing the impact of rain in LA.
Ooh-ooh, cause it’s raining in LA tonight
-Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
-Ooh-ooh, cause it’s raining in LA
-Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, cause it’s raining in LA tonight
Repetition emphasizing the impact of rain in LA.
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
-Ooh-ooh, cause it’s raining in LA
-Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
-Ooh-ooh, cause it’s raining in LA tonight
