Another Turn
The Hellacopters Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Happiness is gone at least I see that in your face
When the storm is over and the sun is out there are rainbows in your eyes
Mouth to mouth and another turn with lies
I don't want to hurt you but I always seem to do
One more single round and that thing will be true for good
When the storm is over and the sun is out the are rainbows in your eyes
It will always be the same
Changes are difficult so this must be a never ending game
When the cold turns warm and the clouds are gone there are stars in your eyes
When the storm is over and the sun is out there are rainbows in your eyes
Raibows in your eyes
Rainbows in your eyes, oh yeah
The Hellacopters's song "Another Turn" seems to describe the relationship between two people who have lost their connection and love for one another. The singer in the song describes a change in his partner's behavior, noting that she no longer seems to love him and has lost her happiness. He can see this in her face, possibly indicating that she's become distant or closed off from him. However, when the storm passes and the sun comes out, he sees rainbows in her eyes, perhaps indicating that there is still hope for their relationship.
Despite this, the singer and his partner seem to be stuck in a cycle of lies and hurt. He acknowledges that he doesn't want to hurt her, but it seems that he always does. He also hints that there have been many times where he's lied to her, indicating that their relationship may be built on a foundation of dishonesty. The lines "One more single round and that thing will be true for good" suggest that they have been through this cycle before, and it seems like they're approaching the end of their relationship.
The chorus of the song describes how there are rainbows in the partner's eyes when the storm is over and the sun comes out. This can be interpreted in a few ways, but it seems like the singer is holding onto hope that things will get better between them. The final lines of the song suggest that change is difficult and that their relationship may be stuck in this cycle forever.

Great song of the Maharajas, and very good version of the Hellacopters
