She's a rainbow

The lyrics present a woman as vivid, beautiful, and joyful. The repeated description of her “coming in colours” makes her presence seem to brighten every place she enters. The mood stays admiring and celebratory, with no clear conflict or change in the relationship: the song lingers on the feeling of being captivated by her.

Colourful images connect her appearance to the world around her. In blue, she brings the sky to mind; dressed in gold, she is compared to a queen and to a sunset. These comparisons suggest grace and radiance rather than giving a literal account of what she looks like. “She shoots her colours all around” may mean that her energy and beauty seem to spread outward, like light or colour filling the air.

The rainbow is the song’s central image: it suggests variety, brightness, and something striking to behold. The repeated line that she “combs her hair” is an ordinary detail beside these grand comparisons, perhaps grounding the portrait in everyday life. Still, the lyrics leave the woman somewhat idealized and mysterious. They could describe a particular person, or use her as a way to express the speaker’s sense of wonder; the words do not settle which.
