Lyrics
Nobody knew where it first began
Nobody is aware of the origin of this situation
Down by the rainbows, she said
Referring to a place associated with beauty and optimism
He told her he's take her where no-one had been
He promised to show her unexplored places
Down by the rainbows, he said
Reiteration of the promising location
Down
Repetition, possibly emphasizing descent or a decline
Down
-He took her to places where she'd never been
He introduced her to unfamiliar places
He told her to wave as she left
Advising her to say goodbye, possibly indicating a departure
He said, don't look back 'cos they don't love you
Warning not to dwell on the past because of lack of love
He said, just keep following me
Encouraging her to keep following despite challenges
Down
Repetition, reinforcing a downward motion
Down
-Down, down, down
-Down, down, down
-Now she is trapped in the wings of the waves
She is now entrapped in challenging circumstances
But she'll never drown
Despite challenges, she won't succumb
He's got her right we're he wants her to be
He has control over her whereabouts
Where the water pulls her down
She is being drawn into difficult situations
Save her
Plea to save her, highlighting her compliance and emotional draining
Please leave her
-Don't blame her
-'Cos she'll just comply
-Leave her
-Don't make her
-Fell sorry for you
-You've sucked her dry
-No sooner she got there, the colour did fade
Upon arrival, the promised allure fades quickly
Where are the rainbows?, she said
Questioning the absence of the promised beauty
He told her that's not what he promised there'd be
He contradicts the earlier promise, suggesting it was imaginary
He said it was all in her head
Asserting that her expectations were unfounded
Down
Repetition, emphasizing a continued descent or disappointment
Down
-Down, down, down
-Down, down, down
-Now she is trapped in the wings of the waves
Despite challenges, she remains resilient
But she'll never drown
Reiteration of her ability to withstand difficulties
He's got her right we're he wants her to be
He maintains control over her situation
Where the water pulls her down
She is being pulled into challenging circumstances
Save her
Continued plea to save her, emphasizing emotional exhaustion caused by the situation
Please leave her
-Don't blame her
-'Cos she'll just comply
-Leave her
-Don't make her
-Fell sorry for you
-You've sucked her dry
