Rainbow Games
Lesley Duncan Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

If I could have my time again,
I'd choose to love you just the same
I think of you and know it's true, you're not to blame.
Hurtin' me you made me find
I could see but still be blind
The change was meant your love was lent and truth
Was there for me to find.
Rainbow games
Rainbow games
I never thought that I would see
The sun come shining out in me, but
Spring is here and now I know
Flowers need the rain to grow
The future's bright I'm in the light I'm at the
Way and every day, fresh winds blow.

Overall Meaning

In Lesley Duncan's song Rainbow Games, the lyrics delve into the emotions and reflections of someone who has been hurt in love but still holds onto their feelings for the person. The first verse states that if the singer could relive their past, they would still choose to love the person who caused them pain. The singer acknowledges the hurt caused but also recognizes that blaming the other person is not the answer as they come to the realization that the change in the relationship was meant to happen, and the truth about the forlorn love was there all along.


The chorus of the song emphasizes the idea of hope and self-discovery springing up from a period of emotional darkness. The phrase "Rainbow Games" is repeated, possibly representing the emotional highs and lows of a relationship, with each person bringing their own individual hues to the mix. In the second verse, the singer speaks of newfound hope and positivity, with the arrival of spring and the growth of flowers representing the opportunity for new beginnings. The last line, "fresh winds blow," could represent a new direction or a new perspective, bringing a newfound lightness to the situation.

Although , as shown on the sleeve image, Kate (&family) may be part of the choir on the A side of the charity single, she is very clearly not the backing vocalist audible on this, It doesn't sound remotely like her. But thanks for uploading these tracks because I had never before been aware of her appearance on the single
