Rainbow Eyes
Rainbow Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Oh I didn't care
Never cared for yesterdays
Fancies in the air
No sighs or mysteries
She lay golden in the sun
No broken harmonies
She had rainbow eyes
Rainbow eyes
Rainbow eyes
Love should be a simple blend
A whispering on the shore
No clever words you can't defend
They lead to never more
No sighs or mysteries
She lay golden in the sun
No broken harmonies
But I've lost my way
She had rainbow eyes
Rainbow eyes
Rainbow eyes
Summer nights are colder now
They've taken down the fair
All the lights have died somehow
Or were they ever there
No sighs or mysteries
She lay golden in the sun
No broken harmonies
But I've lost my way
She had rainbow eyes
Oh, oh

The singer feels lost and reminisces about the girl's golden beauty lying in the sun with no broken harmonies. However, he has lost his way, and he is struggling to find meaning amidst his confusion. Suddenly, summer nights feel colder without her, and he is unsure if those lights were ever there. The singer longs to find someone with the same unique qualities as the girl he lost with rainbow eyes.
Overall, the song Rainbow Eyes talks about the singer's struggle to come to terms with losing someone with unique attributes that he now misses. The tune conveys the sorrow and nostalgia of missing that someone, and the search for possible replacements is also evident in the lyrics.
