Guille 1,079 Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 Dude in a labcoat and a man of God Fought over prisms and a fourty-day flood Well, I say rainbows did more than they've ever done Look what that rainbow did What is she referring to? I know the forty-day flood may be some biblic reference (Genesis book) but I don't get what she means in the other lines.

Quartz 12,529 Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 I guess a simple rainbow brings serene joy to people who view it, putting us in place as insignificant creatures in the world. That's my take. Petty arguments are always so pointless but we get sucked in. Inside, we are really made the same. 🕊 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morphine Prince 105,674 Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 It's science vs. religion She's saying it's useless to be fighting over the same old stuff (same old ****, another lyric of the song). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toewsy 1,842 Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 It's a song about coming together regardless of who we are, our backgrounds, way of life, et cetera- so essentially saying peace, love, rainbows and all that >> fighting with each other Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bebe 17,093 Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 Prisms can create rainbows, she is talking about it from a scientific perspective here. Saying Rainbows can be explained through science. The religious school of thought is more focused on God creating the rainbow. Scientists, or dudes in a labcoats, are saying the Rainbow was created through scientific means and the man of God is saying the rainbow was created by God as a promise to Noah after the fourty-day flood. They are both arguing and fighting with each other. Really the rainbow itself, through it's beauty and by bringing joy, has done more good than the scientist and religious man arguing over its causes or its meaning. It's really about the scientific man and the religious man arguing and fighting over nature, the world and meaning while missing the bigger picture.

Oh I viewed them as disjointed but really it's one full point. It's like saying the origin isn't important especially if it causes shallow disagreements but rather, the outcome of joy and the present is much much more important. Woa Gaga you sick fam Inside, we are really made the same. 🕊 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muh 144 Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 The song is about humanity coming together to stop violence, injustice, etc. To save the world for its imminent fate of decay. The rainbow originated when God sent the flood to erase all the bad and depravation that existed in the world. It's a metaphor Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I probably was expecting some kind of biblic reference or whatever to something I'm not familiar with, but turned out it was more simple than that.
