For years vulcanoes keep building up pressure, boiling heat in their interior, waiting for the right moment to explode and show nature’s strength to the world in rivers of lava.
This seems to be Miss Lava's case, a flaming bitch that took its time to blast its genuine dose of heavy rock 'n roll disaster upon the earth. After releasing a blood red vinyl acclaimed by the critics and playing more than 50 gigs in Portugal, the band's full length was a natural step.
The result is a powerful rock 'n roll disaster, released in Portugal last October 09.
From the free wheelin' demon speedin' of the opener "Don't Tell a Soul" to the psychadelic landscapes of "Scorpio", "Blues For The Dangerous Miles" is a rich sonic journey. There's the inevitable stoner anthem "Ain't Got Time”, the sky filling chorus of the single "Black Rainbow", the rebellious heaviness of "Revolt", the heavy march of "Blind Dog", the sexy shakin' of "Birth, Copulation and Death", the dramatic "The Wait", the self brightness of "Shine On", the groovy twist of "Second Chance" and the epic escape of the title song.
The vulcano has erupted.
Miss Lava is ready to burn, baby.
After a 15 date portuguese launch tour, the band is now booking dates in Europe and opening slots for major acts.
2010 will be the year of the lava.
So let it burn, baby, burn.
Black Rainbow
Miss Lava Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Unicorn in my head
A rainbow acid solution
Our soldiers drop dead
Peace, love, revolution
A flower graces my hair
Junkey evolution
(Tears Fall)
Tears fall with with rain, black rainbow
(Tears fall)
Tears fall in flames, black rainbow
Wartime of illusion
Green grass turns red
Smoke covers destruction
Weed growing under my bed
(Tears Fall)
Tears fall with with rain, black rainbow
(Tears fall)
Tears fall in flames, black rainbow, black rainbow
Your black rainbow
Grey busy home
Grey tiny hole, black rainbow
(Tears Fall)
Tears fall with with rain, black rainbow
(Tears fall)
Tears fall in flames, black rainbow
(Tears Fall)
Tears fall with with rain, flooding my away
(Tears fall)
Tears fall in flames, black rainbow, black rainbow
(Tears Fall)
Your black rainbow
The lyrics to Miss Lava's song Black Rainbow describe a world torn apart by war and the disillusionment that comes with it. The first verse sets the scene of soldiers dying in combat while the singer experiences a psychedelic trip ("A rainbow acid solution") that blurs the lines between reality and fantasy ("Unicorn in my head"). The second verse speaks to the counterculture of the time, with references to peace, love, and revolution, which are juxtaposed with drug use ("Purple tablet in my hand").
The chorus of the song is where the title comes into play, with the repeated phrase "Tears fall in flames, black rainbow." This line suggests that even in the midst of destruction and chaos, there is still beauty to be found ("black rainbow") but it is bittersweet, tinged with sadness and uncertainty.
The final lines of the song ("Your black rainbow") are left open to interpretation, but could be interpreted as a reference to the listener's own experiences with pain and beauty, or as a call to action to create a better world.
