RAINBOW
Nicola Testa Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Building brittle castles of our dreams
We swill water of our tears
Alive, aloud, aware, we bleed
We are vulnerable
We are vulnerable
We are rainbows
We are rainbows
Living a magical eternal youth
Eternal youth
We are vulnerable
We are vulnerable
We are rainbows
We are rainbows
Live for the magic of
Living a magical eternal youth
Eternal youth
These pills they only make you sleep
And slow drugs they will never ease
But all the love you're begging for
Just try to run for more
From the mantle to the core
Somehow you know you have to glow
We are vulnerable
We are vulnerable
We are rainbows
We are rainbows
Live for the magic of
Living a magical eternal youth
Eternal youth
We are vulnerable
We are vulnerable
We are rainbows
We are rainbows
Live for the magic of
Living a magical eternal youth
Eternal youth
I blur the colours of my soul
I pour some water
And I brighten shadows
Across a bridge I shouldn't go
Walking under rain and under gold
Oh should I cross this immature rainbow
We are vulnerable
We are vulnerable
We are rainbows
We are rainbows
Live for the magic of
Living a magical eternal youth
Eternal youth
We are vulnerable
We are vulnerable
We are rainbows
We are rainbows
Live for the magic of
Living a magical eternal youth
Eternal youth
We are vulnerable
We are vulnerable
We are rainbows
We are rainbows
Live for the magic of
Living a magical eternal youth
Eternal youth
The song "Rainbow" by Nicola Testa is a beautiful and introspective piece of music that explores themes of vulnerability, love, and the pursuit of eternal youth. The lyrics speak of a love that is free from fear and the building of fragile castles made of dreams. The reference to "swilling the water of our tears" is a poignant reminder that even amidst our vulnerable moments we can find beauty in our emotions. The repeated refrain, "We are rainbows" reinforces the idea that despite our fragility, we have the capacity to radiate a spectrum of emotions and colors.
The second half of the lyrics take on a more introspective tone, referencing the use of medication to soothe pain, and contrasting that with the power of love to heal. The line, "From the mantle to the core, somehow you know you have to glow," feels incredibly powerful and encourages us to tap into our inner light and strength despite facing our own vulnerabilities. The final lines, "I blur the colors of my soul, I pour some water and I brighten shadows," evoke a feeling of renewal and hope, as though any pain can be washed away like watercolor.
Overall, "Rainbow" is a song that encourages listeners to embrace their own vulnerabilities and find strength in their emotions. It is a reminder that even amidst times of pain and uncertainty, we have the capacity to radiate light and love.
