Lyrics meaning

The singer longs for a relationship that cannot happen openly or easily. She imagines happy times with someone she loves, while facing disapproval and missed opportunities. The mood moves between loneliness and heartbreak, and a growing determination not to give up. By the end, hope rests less on an immediate change than on the belief that her chance may come later.

โ€œWallsโ€ suggests barriers separating the two people; these may be social rules, other peopleโ€™s judgments, or circumstances, rather than literal walls. โ€œDreams have been shatteredโ€ means that hopes have been badly disappointed. The image of wishing on a rainbow conveys a fragile hope: wishing is all she feels able to do. โ€œThe strength is withinโ€ expresses confidence that she can endure, even when she appears to surrender.

The lyrics do not explain exactly why the relationship is blocked. The line about the other person being โ€œso youngโ€ may point to age or to a reason others use to dismiss the relationship, but the details remain unclear. Likewise, the singerโ€™s claim that โ€œtheyโ€™ll still never winโ€ sounds defiant, though it does not tell us what success would look like. The song holds sadness and resilience together: she is deeply hurt, yet still believes her feelings and future matter.
