Are You Disenchanted
Hugh Coltman Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Can you find the rainbow you are always dreaming of?
Why doesn't love appear, or do you suppose
Love is right here under your nose?
Are you disenchanted, is your heart out of touch?
Are you, chance is maybe, chasing rainbows too much?
Open your eyes and you'll find the way,
Open your eyes and you'll find the way,
And love will enchant you someday!
In Hugh Coltman's song Are You Disenchanted, the lyrics portray a protagonist who may be struggling with the mundaneness of life. The repeated questions of "Are you disenchanted, disenchanted with life?" indicate a lack of fulfillment and joy. The singer is searching for a rainbow, a symbol of hope and beauty, while feeling as though love is elusive. The line "Why doesn't love appear, or do you suppose/Love is right here under your nose?" implies the possibility that love is present, but perhaps the singer is too preoccupied with finding it elsewhere to notice.
The second verse suggests that the singer's heart may be "out of touch" and chasing rainbows to an excessive degree. The solution offered in the chorus is to "open your eyes and you'll find the way" towards love and enchantment. The repetition of these lines, "Open your eyes and you'll find the way/And love will enchant you someday," emphasizes the importance of being present and aware of one's surroundings, as love may be closer than one thinks.
Overall, the lyrics of Are You Disenchanted share a message of hope and encouragement to find joy and love in everyday life, rather than constantly searching for something out of reach.
