Rainbow Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I was brought up in a line
But I seem to walk in circles
It's getting hard to navigate
When every map was never made for me
And I thought it would feel good
To understand why I was different
But my title just talks over me
I never even asked to be this way
[Chorus]
But to say that I'm a rainbow
To tell me that I'm bright
When I'm so used to feeling wrong
Well, it makes me feel alright
[Verse 2]
I didn't think it fair
I was not to be trusted
How can I be proud of
What a million people shout at me I'm not?
So please step inside my soul
I'd love to watch you gasp
You'd understand in minutes
And I'd like to think you'd miss it
'Cause so would I
[Chorus]
So say that I'm a rainbow
And tell me that I'm bright
When I'm so used to feeling wrong
Well, it makes me feel alright
Oh, so say that I'm a rainbow
And tell me that I'm bright
When I'm so used to feeling wrong
Well, it makes me feel alright

What did dodie say about "Rainbow"?
In the description of its video, Dodie shared:
This is a song I wrote around the shame LGBTQ+ people go through, and therefore the importance of “pride” and the rainbow and flags etc and just how needed and helpful it all is to combat that feeling.
What have the artists said about the song?
I wrote this two or three years ago. I’d come out as bi, and I still wasn’t feeling entirely sure about myself. I still don’t. It was tough because the world was telling me that it was absolutely fine, and yet I still felt such an internal struggle with it. It’s a very sweet song, but there’s a sadn...
