Seven Colours
Lost Witness Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Seven Colours courve across the sky
and i remember my first rainbow
seems like a thousand years ago
i asked mama whats a rainbow for?
she said
after the rain comes
after the rain
after the rain comes the sun
she said
after the rain comes
after the rain
after the rain comes the sun
after the rain comes the sun




after the rain comes the sun
...

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Lost Witness's song Seven Colours describe the beauty and wonder of a rainbow. The singer reminisces about their first time seeing a rainbow and how it felt like a long time ago. They then recall asking their mother about it and she explains that a rainbow appears after it rains and that it signifies that the sun is coming back out again. The repeated line "after the rain comes the sun" serves as a reminder that even after the darkest and most difficult moments, there is always hope for brighter days ahead.


The lyrics can be interpreted in a number of ways, but one possible reading is that the rainbow serves as a symbol of resilience and the cyclical nature of life. The rain represents the difficult times that we all go through, whether it be personal struggles or larger societal issues. However, just as the rain eventually clears and gives way to the sun, so too can we overcome our challenges and find joy and positivity once again.


Overall, Seven Colours is a simple yet powerful song that celebrates the beauty of life in all its colors and reminds us to hold on through the tough times because brighter days are always ahead.

I'd hear this first or 2nd tune in the evenings on Sundays mix on the radio back when I lived in civilization. It took me the better part of 20+ years to find it as I never knew the title.
