Losing Something
The Babe Rainbow Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Be here now, we'll take you too
'Cross the sea, not coming back
You wouldn't believe in what you have in front of you
Back into the ocean, move
Doesn't make a lot more true
Still life comes and silver dawn draws near
Young arrow, cool breeze and blue spirit
Rose up over the mountain and looked down on the valley below
The high tide of romance that gifts to a garden
Nowhere to run but up here now, like a feeling
You've got to get your head up here
With me in the stratosphere
Teapot tone in the lover's shack
But who knows when we'll be back again?
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Merrily, we'll roam the lawn
Di doo da, di doo doo dum
Losing something is finding something else
The song "Losing Something" by The Babe Rainbow has a dreamy, psychedelic vibe with surreal lyrics that leave much open for interpretation. At its core, the lyrics seem to be about letting go of something familiar and venturing into the unknown with a sense of adventure and optimism. The repeated lines of "Pack your bags, we're leaving soon" and "Back into the ocean, move" suggest a departure from a past that is no longer fulfilling or satisfying.
The chorus of "You've got to get your head up here, with me in the stratosphere" is a call to rise above one's limiting perceptions and embrace a new and expansive perspective. The use of imagery such as "Young arrow, cool breeze, and blue spirit" and "high tide of romance that gifts to a garden" further emphasizes the idea of being open to new experiences and possibilities.
The last line of the song, "Losing something is finding something else," seems to be the main takeaway message. It suggests that letting go of what we cling to can allow us to discover new treasures and take us on exciting adventures.

Pack your bags, we're leaving soon
We need to leave soon, so start preparing
Be here now, we'll take you too
Stay present in the moment, and we will bring you with us
'Cross the sea, not coming back
We are headed across the ocean, and we won't be returning
You wouldn't believe in what you have in front of you
You're not appreciating what's right in front of you
Back into the ocean, move
Return to the water
Doesn't make a lot more true
But that won't necessarily make things more truthful
Still life comes and silver dawn draws near
Life goes on, and dawn is approaching
Young arrow, cool breeze and blue spirit
Youthful energy, refreshing wind, and a sense of serenity
Rose up over the mountain and looked down on the valley below
Ascended to a higher perspective and gained a new outlook
The high tide of romance that gifts to a garden
The overflowing feeling of love that adds beauty to life
Nowhere to run but up here now, like a feeling
There's nowhere to escape to, except for in our emotions
You've got to get your head up here
You need to raise your thoughts to a higher level
With me in the stratosphere
Join me in a heightened state of being
Teapot tone in the lover's shack
A cozy atmosphere for a romantic tryst
But who knows when we'll be back again?
We're not sure when we'll return from this adventure
Merrily, we'll roam the lawn
We'll wander joyfully through the grassy field
Di doo da, di doo doo dum
Nonsensical lyrics conveying a sense of carefree happiness
Losing something is finding something else
Sometimes letting go of one thing can lead to discovering something new
