Rainbow
The d.e.p Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There's a land that I've heard of once in a lullaby.
Somewhere over the rainbow, skies are blue
And the dreams that you dare to dream,
Really do come true.
Someday I'll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me.
High above the chimney tops,
That's where you'll find me.
Somewhere over the rainbow, blue birds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow
Why then, oh why can't I?
If happy little bluebirds fly beyond the rainbow
Why, oh why can't I?
Somewhere over the rainbow, way up high
There's a land that I've heard of once in a lullaby.
Somewhere over the rainbow, skies are blue
And the dreams that you dare to dream,
Really do come true.
Someday I'll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me.
Where troubles melt like lemon drops,
High above the chimney tops,
That's where you'll find me.
Somewhere over the rainbow, blue birds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow
Why then, oh why can't I?
If happy little bluebirds fly beyond the rainbow
Why, oh why can't I?
The lyrics of "Rainbow" by The d.e.p are a beautiful and poignant ode to hope and the power of dreams. The song begins by describing a magical place called "Somewhere over the rainbow" that exists far above. It's a place that the singer has only heard of through a lullaby, but it holds the promise of a better life - a life where the skies are blue and dreams come true. The chorus repeats this sentiment, emphasizing the idea that happiness and fulfillment are possible if you just keep chasing your dreams and never give up.
The second verse brings in the image of a shooting star - a symbol of hope and possibility - and expresses the desire to leave behind all the troubles and worries that weigh us down. The singer longs to be free from the clouds that obscure their vision and keep them from seeing the beauty and wonder of the world. They dream of a place where even the most difficult problems can be dissolved like lemon drops, and the only thing left is joy and contentment. The idea of living above the chimney tops adds to the image of escaping from the drudgery of everyday life and finding a place of lightness and freedom.
The final verse circles back to the bluebirds that fly over the rainbow, and asks the question "Why, oh why can't I?" The answer, of course, is that the singer can fly over the rainbow - they just have to believe in themselves and keep striving towards their dreams. The overall message of the song is one of resilience and optimism - no matter how tough things get, there's always a chance that something amazing awaits if we're brave enough to pursue it.

Why, oh why can't I?
If even the little bluebirds can go there, why can't I go too?

Going through my old playlists I made as a teenager and I can still see a lot of my taste hasn't changed. Desperately trying to find new music like this, but alas, can't seem to find any newer producers or artists. Can anyone recommend anything? Thanks!

Freetempo, every song has its sense of emotion. Also they underrated like hell
Omiss
@Bondrewd The Based i swear Freetempo and i-dep were stemed from the same tree. These two go so hand and hand together it's unreal. I love it
Pablo Osorio
-BLU-SWING - SUNSET

Tell me about it, not a lot of good new content these days as if everyone run out of steam collectively. early 2000-'10 were golden days. I could be wrong but hey
anyway here my recommendations: jazztronik, DJ Kawasaki, 3rd coast
pennyprince
Just look into Shibuya-Kei music, there's a lot of great artists with this vibe. FPM is a good one to start with.
