Rainbo Conversation
Stereolab Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

yearn for romantic compassion
To love is my sole aspiration
For thee who has love in a million
That has burnt unto consternation
All those who're pig-face and dimi

Glowing for our face and our hearts
Fusing at the sad transformation
That has sadly altered the "balance"
It had to end, became too disappointing
Another end leading a new beginning
I'll try again, the right one will come along
I need someone intoxicating and strong

Overall Meaning

The lyrics in Stereolab's song "Rainbo Conversation" express a longing for love and romantic compassion. The singer expresses their desire to find someone who can reciprocate the kind of intense love that they feel. The line "For thee who has love in a million" suggests that the person the singer is addressing has experienced love in a profound and transformative way, and the singer is hoping to find that same kind of love with them. The following line, "That has burnt unto consternation," suggests that this intense love has also caused pain and confusion for those who have experienced it.


The second verse acknowledges the sadness that comes from the transformation of love. The "balance" that was once present has been altered, leading to disappointment and the end of a relationship. Despite this, the singer looks forward to a new beginning and finding the "right one." The final line, "I need someone intoxicating and strong," suggests that the singer is looking for someone who will fully consume them with love and strength.
