Rainbow
Josh Rabenold Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But you didn′t even notice
It ain't raining anymore
It′s hard to breathe when all you know is
The struggle of staying above the rising water line
Well, the sky has finally opened
The rain and wind stopped blowing
You hold tight to your umbrella
Darling, I'm just trying to tell you
That there′s always been a rainbow hanging over your head
If you could see what I see
You′d be blinded by the colours
Yellow, red, and orange, and green
And at least a million others
So tie up your boat, take off your coat
And take a look around
'Cause the sky has finally opened
The rain and wind stopped blowing
But you′re stuck out in the same old storm again
You hold tight to your umbrella
Darling, I'm just trying to tell you
That there′s always been a rainbow hanging over your head
Oh, tie up your boat, take off your coat
And take a look around
Everything is alright now
'Cause the sky has finally opened
The rain and wind stopped blowing
But you′re stuck out in the same old storm again
Let go of your umbrella
Darling, I'm just trying to tell you
That there's always been a rainbow hanging over your head
Yeah, there′s always been a rainbow hanging over your head
It′ll all be alright
In "Rainbow" by Josh Rabenold, the lyrics speak to a person who has gone through tough times in their life. The person has been so caught up in their struggles that they haven't noticed that the storm has passed, and things are looking up. The song is trying to remind this person that there is always a silver lining and that if they could just look up, they would see the rainbow that has been hanging over their head all along.
The first stanza of the song addresses the struggle of staying above water when everything around you is chaotic. The second stanza talks about the realization that the storm has passed and how the person is still stuck in their thoughts. The chorus of the song is the most significant part, as it highlights the fact that there has always been a rainbow there, but the person just couldn't see it. The bridge of the song reinforces the idea that everything will be alright and encourages the person to take a look around and take off their coat.
Overall, the song is a message of hope and encouragement for anyone who has struggled through tough times in their life. It reminds us that we are not alone, and there is always a brighter tomorrow ahead if we just keep moving forward.
