I'm Always Chasing Rainbows
Endless Pursuit of Elusive Dreams
Lyrics
I'm always chasing rainbows
The speaker expresses a perpetual pursuit of elusive and unattainable desires or goals, symbolized by rainbows.
Watching clouds drifting by
Observing the transient and ever-changing nature of life, represented by clouds drifting in the sky.
My schemes are just like all my dreams
The speaker's plans and aspirations mirror their dreams, but both seem to have an outcome that is unreachable or distant.
Ending in the sky
Imagery suggesting that the speaker's dreams and schemes lead to unattainable heights, emphasizing the unfulfilled nature of their pursuits.
Some fellows look and find the sunshine
Contrasting with others who find happiness, the speaker tends to perceive challenges and difficulties, akin to finding rain instead of sunshine.
I always look and find the rain
The speaker consistently encounters adversity or challenges, symbolized by finding rain when others find sunshine.
Some fellows make a winning sometimes
While some people achieve success occasionally, the speaker feels unable to secure any victories or positive outcomes.
I never even make a gain
Expressing a sense of constant defeat, the speaker doesn't experience any gains or victories in their pursuits.
Believe me, I'm always chasing rainbows

Waiting to find a little bluebird in vain
