"RAIN" by Jack Harlow is a song about dealing with difficult times and feeling misunderstood by others. The lyrics describe the struggles of trying to hold on to past versions of oneself and the frustration of being judged by others who don't truly understand what one is going through. The chorus repeats the lines "I know you tried crying, it didn't help nothing, funny how the time flies. Middle school classmates, and the crime times, these some tryin' times" which highlights the challenges and struggles that the narrator has gone through. The mention of "middle school classmates" and "crime times" suggests that the narrator grew up in a difficult environment and may have experienced trauma in their past. The second half of the chorus references the narrator's girlfriend, who is "summertime fine, wintertime cold" meaning that she is attractive and charming on the outside, but distant and closed off emotionally. The narrator acknowledges that others may only accept the person they used to be and offer advice without truly understanding what they are going through. The bridge of the song reiterates the idea that others may think they know the narrator, but they truly don't understand their experiences and struggles. The repetition of "but they don't know you" emphasizes the feeling of being misunderstood. Overall, "RAIN" is a song about dealing with difficult times and feeling misunderstood by others. The lyrics suggest that the narrator has gone through challenging experiences in their past and is struggling to find acceptance and understanding from those around them.
