the rainbow connection
Unveiling the Mystical Message in Christina Perri's Melodic Rainbow
Lyrics
Why are there so many
Questioning the abundance of songs about rainbows.
Songs about rainbows
Expressing curiosity about the fascination with rainbows in music.
And what's on the other side?
Wondering about what exists on the other side of a rainbow.
Rainbows are visions
Describing rainbows as visions.
But only illusions
Contrasting visions of rainbows with the reality that they are illusions.
And rainbows have nothing to hide
Suggesting that rainbows do not have hidden secrets.
So we've been told and some choose to believe it
Highlighting a common belief about rainbows, some choose to believe it.
I know they're wrong wait and see
Disagreeing with the common belief and expressing confidence in being proven wrong.
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection
Anticipating a future discovery of a meaningful connection, symbolized by a rainbow.
The lovers, the dreamers and me
Identifying those who will find the connection: the lovers, the dreamers, and the singer.
Who said that every wish
Questioning the assumption that every wish will be heard and answered.
Would be heard and answered
Expressing doubt about the efficacy of wishing on the morning star.
When wished on the morning star?
Reflecting on the origin of the belief in wish fulfillment through the morning star.
Somebody thought of that
Acknowledging that someone conceived the idea of wish fulfillment.
And someone believed it
Noting that someone believed in the effectiveness of wishing.
And look what it's done so far
Reflecting on the impact of belief in wish fulfillment.
What's so amazing that keeps us stargazing
Pondering the amazing aspect that keeps people looking at the stars.
And what do we think we might see?
Questioning what people expect to see while stargazing.
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection
Reiterating the anticipation of finding a meaningful connection symbolized by a rainbow.
The lovers, the dreamers and me
Identifying the seekers of the connection: the lovers, the dreamers, and the singer.
All of us under its spell
Acknowledging the captivating influence of the rainbow on everyone.
We know that it's probably magic
Speculating that the allure of the rainbow is likely magical.
Have you been half asleep
Asking about experiences of being partially asleep and hearing voices.
And have you heard voices?
Posing a question about hearing voices.
I've heard them calling my name
Confirming personal experience of hearing voices calling the singer's name.
Is this the sweet sound
Asking if the voices are the sweet sound that beckons young sailors.
That calls the young sailors?
Linking the sweet sound to calling young sailors.
The voice might be one and the same
Suggesting that the voice may be both the calling and the sweet sound.
I've heard it too many times to ignore it
Stating the singer has heard the voice too many times to ignore it.
It's something that I'm supposed to be
Recognizing that the connection symbolized by the rainbow is something the singer is meant to pursue.
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection
Reaffirming the anticipation of finding the rainbow connection with the lovers, the dreamers, and the singer.
The lovers, the dreamers and me
Identifying the individuals who will find the connection: the lovers, the dreamers, and the singer.
