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.
โWallsโ suggests barriers separating the two people; these may be social rules, other peopleโs judgments, or circumstances, rather than literal walls. โDreams 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. โThe 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 โso youngโ may point to age or to a reason others use to dismiss the relationship, but the details remain unclear. Likewise, the singerโs claim that โtheyโll 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.
