I Didn't Think About Rain
Unseen Storms of Heartbreak
Lyrics
I built my house in a valley, to escape the winter wind
I chose a location in a valley to build my house to avoid the winter wind.
I knew the heat was somethin, that goes when the season ends
I was aware that the heat is something that disappears when the season ends.
I coulda stayed up high on a mountain side, made it through the days
Although I could have stayed on a mountain side, I decided to be in a flood-prone area, not considering the possibility of rain.
But I laid it low in a flood zone, cause I didn't think about rain
The choice of a flood zone reflects my oversight in not considering the possibility of rain.
When you left me, I never saw it comin
Your departure was unexpected and caught me off guard.
A bad ending to a movie I was lovin
The end of our relationship felt like a negative twist in a movie I was enjoying.
Oh every which way, the weather and the pain
Various challenges, both emotional and environmental, surround me.
I thought I played it safe, but I didn't think about rain
Despite thinking I played it safe, I failed to consider the emotional "rain" that would follow.
I guess I've grown to trust myself cause of all that pride
Due to pride, I've grown accustomed to trusting my own judgment.
But then the obvious hits me with surprise
A surprising realization hits me despite thinking I am smart and doing the right things.
I may think I'm smart doing what I should, but the worst part is you broke me good
Despite thinking I was prepared, you managed to hurt me deeply.
I expected everything, except for one thing
I anticipated everything except for one crucial aspect.
When you left me, I never saw it comin
Similar to line 5, the unexpectedness of your departure is reiterated.
A bad ending to a movie I was lovin
Reiteration of the negative turn in the "movie" of our relationship.
Oh every which way, the weather and the pain
Difficulties are coming from all directions, both in emotions and circumstances.
I thought I played it safe, but I didn't think about rain
Despite attempting to play it safe, the metaphorical "rain" catches me off guard.
I didn't think about rain
Repetition emphasizing the lack of consideration for the consequences, symbolized by "rain."
I'm here praying for a break in the clouds
Expressing a desire for relief from emotional turmoil.
And I'm hoping that this heart don't drown
Hoping that my heart won't be overwhelmed by the challenges and emotions.
This heart don't drown
Reiteration of the hope that emotional distress won't overpower the heart.
When you left me, I never saw it comin
Similar to lines 5 and 13, the sudden and unexpected nature of the breakup is highlighted again.
A shitty ending to a movie I was lovin
Reiteration of the negative turn in the "movie" of the relationship with intensified language.
Oh every which way, the weather and the pain
Challenges and pain are pervasive in every aspect of life.
I thought I played it safe
Repetition emphasizing the belief that I played it safe despite the unforeseen challenges.
I thought I played it safe, but I didn't think about rain
Despite my belief in playing it safe, the oversight regarding the emotional "rain" becomes evident.
No I didn't think about rain
Emphasizing the failure to consider the emotional turmoil, represented by "rain," in my decisions.
