Uh huh, uh huh
Yeah, Rihanna
Uh huh, uh huh
Good girl gone bad
Uh huh, uh huh
Take three, action
Uh huh, uh huh, ho

No clouds in my stones
Let it rain; I hydroplane into fame
Comin' down at the Dow Jones
When the clouds come, we gone
We Rocafella
We fly higher than weather
In G5's or better
You know me
In anticipation for precipitation stack chips for the rainy day
Rain man is back with little Ms. Sunshine
Rihanna, where you at?

You have my heart, and we'll never be worlds apart
Maybe in magazines, but you'll still be my star
Baby, 'cause in the dark
You can't see shiny cars
And that's when you need me there
With you I'll always share
Because

[Chorus]
When the sun shines, we shine together
Told you I'll be here forever
Said I'll always be your friend
Took an oath that I'm a stick it out till the end
Now that it's raining more than ever
Know that we still have each other
You can stand under my umbrella
You can stand under my umbrella, ella, ella, eh, eh, eh
Under my umbrella, ella, ella, eh, eh, eh
Under my umbrella, ella, ella, eh, eh, eh
Under my umbrella, ella, ella, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh

These fancy things will never come in between
You're part of my entity, here for infinity
When the world has took its part
When the world has dealt its cards
If the hand is hard, together we'll mend your heart
Because

[Chorus]

You can run into my arms
It's okay, don't be alarmed
(Come into me)
(There's no distance in between our love)
So I'm gonna let the rain pour
I'll be all you need and more
Because

[Chorus]

It's raining, raining
Ooh, baby, it's raining, raining
Baby, come into me
Come into me
It's raining, raining
Ooh, baby, it's raining, raining
You can always come into me
Come into me
It's pouring rain
It's pouring rain
Come into me
Come into me
It's pouring rain
It's pouring rain

    General Comment:I think that Umbrella is a metaphor for addiction. In the chorus, it is said that the character relies on this drug in order to make them happy (When there's sunshine, we'll shine together; told you i'll be here forever; said i'll always be a friend; took an oath, imma stick it out till the end). When times get rough, it wouldn't matter because the character still has the drug to make everything alright and make them happy, meaning that the drug is their protection from the storm (Now that it's raining more than ever, know that we'll still have each other; you can stand under my umbrella).

    General Comment:This song is supposedly about a deal Rihanna makes with the devil...


    Rain is supposed to be a metaphor for some sort of eminent economic disaster that JayZ anticipates. The Dow Jones is an indicator of the worlds economy. While rockafella is Jayz's clothing line, the Rockefeller family is a very evil family that conspires to enslave the entire worlds population. Look that shit up im not joking.

    No clouds in my storms
    Let it rain, I hydroplane in the bank
    Coming down with the Dow Jones
    When the clouds come we gone, we Rocafella
    She fly higher than weather
    And G5s are better
    You know me, an anticipation for precipitation
    Stacked chips for the rainy day
    Jay, Rain Man is back with little Ms. Sunshine
    Rihanna where you at?


    A conversation between rihanna and the devil: The devil offers Rihanna money and fame in exchange she excepts his demonic presence into her body and does his bidding by corrupting the youth through her music

    You have my heart
    And we'll never be worlds apart
    May be in magazines
    But you'll still be my star
    Baby, because in the dark
    You can't see shiny cars
    And that's when you need me there
    With you I'll always share
    Because

    The devil says When youre benefiting from your fame, I am also benefiting. Rihanna promises her allegiance with the devil, and he in turn promises her protection from the horrors that he is about to unleash upon the earth.

    When the sun shines, well shine together
    Told you I'll be here forever
    Said I'll always be a friend
    Took an oath, I'ma stick it out until the end
    Now that it's raining more than ever
    Know that we'll still have each other
    You can stand under my umbrella
    You can stand under my umbrella



    These fancy things
    Will never come in between
    You're part of my entity
    Here for infinity
    When the war has took it's part
    When the world has dealt it's cards
    If the hand is hard
    Together we'll mend your heart
    Because

    chorus

    You can run into my arms
    It's okay don't be alarmed
    Come into me
    There's no distance in between our love
    So go on and let the rain pour
    I'll be all you need and more
    Because

    "Come into me" Double meaning. She willingly accepts demonic posession, asks for it even. also referencing sex.

    It's raining
    Oh baby it's raining
    Baby, come into me
    Come into me
    It's raining
    Oh baby it's raining

    General Comment:Really good song. I had a girlfriend who just caused a WORLD of troubles and pain, even after we broke up. It was a roller coaster of emotions and ups and downs and it's so confusing to explain everything. And I had a friend who is a girl who used to go to my school but had moved to a different state earlier in the school year. And we hadn't really kept in touch, but in my time of need, my time of darkness, when everything was going wrong and I didn't think ANYTHING would get better, she just somehow popped up in my life. And we started talking again and we kept in touch, and she helped me through my struggles. She had the BEST advice, and the best words you could think of. And she devoted herself to making me feel better and picking me back up when I was down. She cared for me more than anything, when we barely even knew eachother at the time. And without her I wouldn't be where I am or who I am today. She made me stronger, wiser, smarter, happier, and gave me a different perspective on life. I owe her the world for what she's done for me. Were now more than friends, and she's more than I could EVER ask for. And this song makes me think of her, and it makes me really happy.

    General Comment:Am I seriously the only one who got the Illuminati meaning out of this song? The Rain Man always represents Satan and in this case the Music Industry. Rihanna's album, and a line in this song was about calling her the "Good Girl Gone Bad". The music Industry forces her from "Little Miss Sunshine" to the Bad Girl. Even in real life Rihanna went from cute little Barbadian beauty to "Edgy" Satanic superstar.
    "Took an Oath, I'mma stick it out 'til the end" "We Roca'fella" (An allusion to one of the wealthiest familes in the world and part of the illuminti, the Rockerfellers) "You're part of my entity" and the fact that Jay-Z is featured in this song help prove my point. I know y'all all think I'm stupid for saying that, but seriously just look up "Rihanna Umbrella Illuminati" on youtube.

    General Comment:people this is not a good song what so ever the ella is actualy a god hints the umbrella that rhianna is coming under also note that umbrella is a corprate term not a love term and how the hole song there is a battle between rainman (Bamphomet) and rhianna for her soul and she finally gives in once you understand this the video makes sense she actually gets raped 6 times in the video when the water splashes her
    trust rhianna understands she looks like a whore thats the goal and believe she has no good meaning
    about this song you all hear but dont listen its all there peace and love to all lets start to open or eyes and ears!!!!!

    My Interpretation:My interpretation is that this catchy song is about two friends who are facing hard times and looking out for your friends. The rain is a form of danger and the umbrella is the protection
