Rainbow
Bladee Mechatok Oklou Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I could′ve had it all, I didn't wanna have it
You don′t believe it, how can I work the magic?
I wanna see you baby, coming out the ashes
Watch the world unfold
Watch the world unfold
Watch the world unfold
Watch the world unfold
Night wrap me in a black velvet blanket
I could've had it all, I didn't wanna have it
If you don′t believe it, how can I work the magic?
I wanna see you baby, coming out the ashes
Watch the world unfold
Watch the world unfold
Watch the world unfold
Watch the world unfold
Night wrap me in a black velvet blanket
I could′ve had it all, I didn't wanna have it
You don′t believe it, how can I work the magic?
I wanna see you baby, coming out the ashes
Wrap me in a black velvet blanket
I could've had it all, I didn′t wanna have it
You don't believe it, how can I work the magic?
I wanna see you baby, coming out the ashes
Say a prayer
You should be the one that say it
Not for this world
But it′s true on another layer
Just a kiss from the lips
It feels like a prayer
Silver city
Never sleeps with the three awakened
Take the rainbow road
Take the rainbow road
Take the rainbow road
Take the rainbow road
Put the world on hold
I'm not your guardian angel
I'm not here to save you
Hell, I can barely save me
I′m here because you need me to be
That′s what family does
That's what we are
Someday I might need you
It′s [?]
Night wrap me in a black velvet blanket
I could've had it all, I didn′t wanna have it
If you don't believe it, how can I work the magic?
I wanna see you baby
Coming out the ashes (ashes, ashes)
Say a prayer
You should be the one that say it
Not for this world
But it′s true on another layer
Just a kiss from the lips
It feels like a prayer
Silver city
Never sleeps with the three awakened
Take the rainbow road
Take the rainbow road
Take the rainbow road
Take the rainbow road
Put the world on hold
Take the rainbow road
Watch the world unfold
Night wrap me in a black velvet blanket
I could've had it all, I didn't wanna have it
Night wrap me in a black velvet blanket
I could′ve had it all, I didn′t wanna have it
If you don't believe it, how can I work the magic?
I wanna see you baby, coming out the ashes
The opening lines of "Rainbow" create a striking visual image of being wrapped in a black velvet blanket amidst the night. This contrasts sharply with the mention of having it all and not wanting it. The implication may be that the singer is disinterested in the material trappings of success and would prefer to remain shrouded in the darkness. The following lines suggest a desire to share that darkness with another person, and the hope of seeing them emerge from it like a phoenix from the ashes. The repeated refrain of "watch the world unfold" could be interpreted as a call to wait and observe before making any major decisions or changes.
The song's title, "Rainbow," is only mentioned once in the lyrics as part of the instruction to take the rainbow road. This could be seen as a metaphor for taking a path of hope and optimism, but it is also worth noting that rainbows are traditionally associated with queerness and pride. The ambiguity of the term allows for multiple interpretations or even a blending of meanings. The mention of a silver city that never sleeps with the three awakened is another cryptic image that could be interpreted in myriad ways. The repeated mention of prayer and lips creates a sensual and spiritual atmosphere that suggests a deep connection between the singer and the person being addressed.
