Rainbow Connection
Cincotti Peter Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And what's on the other side?
Rainbows are visions, but only illusions
And rainbows have nothing to hide
So we've been told and some choose to believe it
I know they're wrong, wait and see
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection
The lovers, the dreamers and me
And what do we think we might see?
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection
The lovers, the dreamers and me
All of us under its spell. We know that it's probably magic
Have you been half asleep and have you heard voices?
I've heard them calling my name
Is this the sweet sound that called the young sailors
The voice might be one and the same
I've heard it too many times to ignore it
It's something that I'm supposed to be
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection
The lovers, the dreamers and me
The song Rainbow Connection by Cincotti Peter explores the mystique and fascination of rainbows. The lyrics question why there are so many songs about rainbows and what’s on the other side of them. The song explains that rainbows are only illusions and have nothing to hide, yet some people choose to believe they are visions. The singer believes that someday they will find the “rainbow connection” and it will be a momentous discovery for the lovers, dreamers, and everyone else who has ever gazed at the stars in wonderment.
The song goes on to explain that there must be something amazing that keeps us star-gazing and wondering what we might see if we could reach the other side of the rainbow. It speaks of a sweet sound that calls out to us and seems to be the same one that called out to sailors in the past. The singer concludes that they have heard this sound too many times to ignore it and it’s something they are meant to be a part of. The implication is that finding the rainbow connection would be a mystical and life-changing experience that would connect us all together in a way that we cannot yet understand.
