Rainbow
J.P. Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

肌を吹き抜ける風のように
夜空の星も億千光年のメモリー
眩し過ぎる日々に僕らは手を振り

歩き出す瞳に your smile
重ねていこう
新たな history

虹彩の向こう奏でる symphony
それぞれの夢を抱いて一つに輝くから
どこにいても見上げた空には the same rainbow

洗い流す tears of rain
太陽の眼差しが prism
織り成すすべてが so bright, ah
境界線のないグラデーション
シンクロして踊る heartbeat

かけがえの無い my home
ぶつかり合うほど
絆の意味を知り
雨上がりの美しさを知る
雲の隙間から sun rays

明日を照らすように
この先もずっと追いかけていこう
The same rainbow

One, one, one, zero 歩き出した day one
（Three, two, one, do it）おれ等の合言葉
くだらないことで笑い合い

子供みたいにファイト
譲れない思いをぶつけ合い共に明日へ drive
カベにぶち当たり転んでは立ち上がり
瞳から流れたダイヤ握りしめて前に

So! 開く next page いつだってそうさ
君が sunshine おれ等がそう rainbow
君の街へと繋がる
七色の足跡残すように
涙で滲んだ未来に

迷いそうになっても
いつの日も見上げた空には
The same rainbow

見上げた空には
The same rainbow (rainbow, rainbow, rainbow, rainbow)

Overall Meaning

The song "Rainbow" by JP describes the life journey of a dirt poor man who had to work hard all his life to lead a decent life. He sings his song while he carries his load, but his dreams are always about the rainbow road. Finally, one day, a man comes along and hears him playing and singing his songs, and he buys him clothes and pays off all his debts. He sends the singer on his way down the rainbow road to a brighter future.

However, the dream takes a tragic turn when the singer is attacked by a man with a knife, and he has to take his life in self-defense. He loses all his friends, and he is sentenced for his crime. He has to wear a number, living with a ball and chain before people ever heard his name. As he grows old, he still sings about the rainbow road, hoping for a brighter future.

The song has a powerful message about the struggle of common people who have to fight every day to survive. It shows that everyone desires a better future and how hope can help people endure even while they face difficult situations in life. The song also points out the harsh reality of life, where someone can be punished for defending themselves from an attack.

Line by Line Meaning

I was born a dirt poor man
I have endured poverty since childhood.

All my life I've had hard working hands
I have lived with callouses on my hands from hard work.

But I sang my song as I carried my load
I sang while working, in hopes of fulfilling my dream.

‘Cause I had a dream about rainbow
I had a dream about a better life, a dream of prosperity and happiness.

Then one day a man came along
Someone came into my life and noticed my talent.

Heard me playing and singing my songs
The person acknowledged and appreciated my music.

He bought me clothes and paid up every debt I owed
He helped me financially and resolved my debts.

Sent me on my way down rainbow
He sent me on a path towards fulfilling my dream and achieving success.

Then one night a man with a knife
I was attacked by someone with a weapon.

Pushed me till I had to take his life
I had to take his life in an act of self-defense.

Fast as falling all my friends were gone
My friends deserted me after the incident.

That old judge traded me a sentence for a song
The judge gave me a chance to prove myself and reduce my sentence by singing a song.

Now I'm living with this ball and chain
I'm living a life of imprisonment and restrictions.

I had to wear a number before they ever heard my name
I was treated as a number and not a human being.

And like the dream I'm growing old
As time passes, my dream is slowly fading away.

But we still sing about rainbow
Despite the struggles, I continue to sing about the hope of fulfilling my dreams.

Rainbow road, Rainbow road…
The path towards achieving my dreams.
