Cover art for The Rain lyrics by Akon

I interpret this song as him looking back on his career and the people involved in his rise to fame, and he is remembering his past transgressions and mistakes and they are coming through as rain, rain being his metaphor for memories. Sometimes he thinks too much about what he has become, the things he dislikes about it and the rain pours a bit too much for his liking. That's my interpretation of the song.
