Bend The Light
Ro Danishei Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Boys and girls,
No you are not at home anymore
Welcome to the beginning of the Rainbow
Where blue birds don't fly
The sun doesn't shine
Just a disco balls spins high in the sky

Strobing lights that blind your eyes

Keep them shut and open wide
They've lied to you, kids, there's only night




Click your heels three times,
See you on the other side.

Overall Meaning

In Ro Danishei's song Bend The Light, the lyrics are a vivid description of what seems to be a surreal reality. The song starts with "Boys and girls, no you are not at home anymore", indicating a departure from reality into an unknown place. The next line, "Welcome to the beginning of the Rainbow", implies that it is the start of a journey or a new beginning. However, the place they have entered is not like home, as "blue birds don't fly, the sun doesn't shine". Instead, the only light seems to come from a disco ball "spins high in the sky". It gives off a strobing light that blinds the eyes, creating a feeling of disorientation.


The lyrics have a dark undertone in the next line, as they suggest that someone has lied to the kids about the place they find themselves in. The people in this new reality are stuck in perpetual night, which contrasts with the idea of a rainbow at the beginning of the song. The last line, "Click your heels three times, see you on the other side", is a reference to The Wizard of Oz, where the character Dorothy clicks her heels three times to return home. However, in the song, it suggests that there might be a way out of this alternate reality, but it's not as simple as clicking heels.


The lyrics of Bend The Light tell a story of a strange and surreal place that is both intriguing and unsettling. It speaks to the feeling of being lost or trapped in a world that is unfamiliar and unknown. The song captures the listener's attention from the beginning, thanks to the vivid imagery created through the lyrics.


Line by Line Meaning

Boys and girls,
Hey everyone,


No you are not at home anymore
You're not where you're used to be,


Welcome to the beginning of the Rainbow
You're at the start of an adventure,


Where blue birds don't fly
This isn't a place that's familiar,


The sun doesn't shine
It's dark here,


Just a disco balls spins high in the sky
But there's a party happening,


Strobing lights that blind your eyes
The lights are really bright and can be overwhelming,


Keep them shut and open wide
Close your eyes and then open them again,


They've lied to you, kids, there's only night
Don't trust what you think you know; things are different here,


Click your heels three times,
Think positive thoughts,


See you on the other side.
And good things will happen.
