GerMonsterNotta 355 Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 For Rain on Me the chorus is pure simple to interpret, but whats are the messages and meaning behind the the verse lyrics? Who is Gaga addressing in her verse? And what is she trying to say and how does it relate to the ROM message? For Ari, "Living in a world where no one's innocent, Oh, but at least we try"..... What is this actually referring to/about? etc. - - - - - - - - - Perhaps I am missing something, it's all very simple language, but what does it actually mean? I know the song is all about dancing through pain and empowerment, but how do the verses fit with this.. - - - - - - - - - I didn't ask for a free ride I only asked you to show me a real good time I never asked for the rainfall At least I showed up, you showed me nothing at all Living in a world where no one's innocent Oh, but at least we try Gotta live my truth, not keep it bottled in So I don't lose my mind Baby, yeah Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonkers 26,241 Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 My theories: I think "dry" also refers to being sober. (I ****ed up again, but at least I'm alive) As far as "living in a world where no one's innocent"... that's just a fact. At some point in everyone's life they need to understand that part of being a human means you hurt other people, and you need to accept that fact, forgive yourself and do the best you can. And, people will hurt you. No one's innocent. Remember to like and subscribe, and click on the bell icon to get the latest updates Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roboboy 3,292 Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 Gaga's verse: I didn't want bad things to happen to me, and I tried my best to stop them, but they still happened. Ariana's verse: I try my best to avoid the evil in the world. to stop myself from going crazy, its best to be myself and live my truth. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ladle Ghoulash 10,262 Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 It’s kind of hard to know who Gaga is addressing in her verse. She straddles the classic lyrical trope in pop, which at its best is meant to be both personal and relatable. I think the lyrics are meant to invoke the feeling in the music more than anything else, trying to unbind herself from the shame that she experiences because I think the song’s ultimate goal is to create a feeling of catharsis.

Arcanum 4,090 Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 You have to check the original lyrics to understand Gaga's verse. Ariana's verse was added later and it makes the song a bit social. The original lyrics of the 2nd verse were: I didn't ask for the daylight 'Cause I was born for the night, and it changed my life I knew the hurt wouldn't be small You said you'd love me forever, but you don't call So originally it was about a man that dumped her and that she slowly and painfully recovers from the break up, even though she knew all along that the man was no good for her. I Wantth your Love...I Wantth your Love. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea, Gaga's part is definitely about a break up, and Ari's part is about radically accepting that the world can be a real **** hole. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThisBitch 3,436 Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 You're all delusional. Gaga is clearly singing about all the Uber drivers wanting to give her a free ride because she is famous but she didn't ask for it. She also never asked for the rainfall because she can't perform in stadiums when it rains. But at least she showed up with her Oscar award when Madonna didn't show her any Oscars at all. That's it gheys, that's what it is about. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
