Wishes
Travis Linville Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Chasin' the rainbow's end.
Runnin' in circles, back to the start,
Startin' over again.
Holdin' on for dear life
Tryin' to keep your feet
Planted on the ground and steppin' back out on the beat.
Hope the best days come to you
Hope you keep chasin' rainbows
Hope your wishes all come true.
Behind the wheel
Beyond the stars
Holden your heart inside locked away behind these iron bars.
Walkin' away, leavin' yourself behind
Findin' out how this new life will unwind.
I hope good luck finds you easy
Hope the best days come to you
Hope you keep chasin' rainbows
Hope your wishes all come true.
Twistin' and turnin' down the roads that you choose
Walkin' and runnin' straight into the blues
Don't look back now you've come too far
Keep your dreams in your heart
Keep your wishes in the stars.
I hope good luck finds you easy
Hope the best days come to you
Hope you keep chasin' rainbows
Hope your wishes all come true.
Hope you think about me always
The way I alway think of you
I hope good luck finds you easy
Hope your wishes all come true.
Travis Linville’s song “Wishes” is a touching ballad about holding on to hope and wishful thinking, despite life’s ups and downs. The song is about a person whose life is filled with uncertainty and struggle. The lyrics reflect a deep sense of empathy, as they convey the wish that the person finds happiness and success, despite the challenges they face. The song speaks about chasing dreams, even if they seem unattainable. It suggests that one must continue to follow their dreams and persevere in the face of difficulty.
The opening lyrics, “Your days were fallin' away, Chasin' the rainbow's end” suggest that the person’s life is slipping out of their grasp, making them feel as if their dreams are not within reach. They are ‘chasing the rainbow's end’, as if trying to make their dream come true, but with no concrete result. The chorus “I hope good luck finds you easy, Hope the best days come to you, Hope you keep chasin' rainbows, Hope your wishes all come true” conveys a sense of hope and optimism - the hope that the person finds success without too many difficulties and the hope that the person continues to chase their dreams.
The second verse speaks about the person wanting to move forward with their life, but struggles to break free from their past. “Behind the wheel beyond the stars, Holden your heart inside locked away behind these iron bars”. The chorus repeats, almost as if pleading to the universe to let this person live the life they wish for, free from their past.
Overall, the song “Wishes” conveys an important message about persevering in the face of struggles and holding on to hope. It’s a song that speaks to anyone who may be struggling in life, feeling like their dreams are out of reach or have a difficult time moving on from their past.
