What Is The True Meaning To Rihanna's Song '; Umbrella '; ?

Well, I personally don't think it has to do with the love between her %26amp; a lover because the words just don't make sense . Like for instance this verse :





These fancy things, will never come in between


You're part of my entity, here for Infinity





“You’re part of my entity” is very relevant here because “entity” is not a word in the vocabulary used between loved ones. Nobody will say to his/her lover “You’re part of my entity”. An entity is not human.


An entity is something that has a distinct, separate existence, though it need not be a material existence.





I personally think she's talking about the devil possessing her. If you look at the video, when Jay-z is raping, there is a total of six girls dancing around him . The part where Rihanna is wearing the white dress, the silver liquid hits her a total of six times . At the end when she's singing in all black, there are six guys dancing around her . And that triangle thing that she's sitting inside when she's in all silver, that has more meaning to it also .

I think you're right about there being six of everything - It could just be to make it look more even in the video so it is easier on the eye (like if you had 16 dancers it would be too overwhelming). As for the other dancers around rihanna, I think it was to symbolise rihanna and jay as opposites - they were 6 males around rihanna, 6 females around jay, Jay is enjoying the company of the females, rihanna is miming knocking the males down with her umbrella etc...).


The lyrics you noticed, ';you're part of my entity';, connect back to ';Baby in magazines, you'll still be my star';. Thus, meaning that even though the fame and stuff have driven them apart a lot of the time, they will still love each other.


Also ';In the dark, you can't see shiny cars, and that's when you need me there, with you I'll always share'; proves this point for me as it could mean that the spotlights and riches don't mean anything without a lover to share them with.





Just thoughts! I hope I helped. Thanks for the website, by the way, I never thought of the song like that!What Is The True Meaning To Rihanna's Song '; Umbrella '; ?
For entity, may be she means souls. Like you're part of my entity-my being, existence, you're part of it ( as my lover).


Hmm... as for all those symbols, interesting.
The words ';You can stand under my umbrella'; make me think it means even if you and your boy aren't dating still you can always be there for each other.
sometimes a song evokes a mood


you're thinking too much


where is your umbrella?


some people have many


others have one
some people have so many umbrellas that they feel entitled


others walk home in the rain
