You're a one of a one
A one of a kind
That you only find once in a lifetime
Made to fit like a fingerprint
A code that clicks open a gold mine
They say one man's trash is another man's treasure
When I found you, it was all pretty better
Secretly, I hit the lottery 'cause you're
Brighter than all of the Northern the Lights
You speak to me, even in my dreams, wouldn't
Let you go for even the highest price
They say one man's trash is another girl's treasure
So if it's up to me, I'm gonna keep you forever
'Cause I understand you,
We see eye to eye
Like a double rainbow
In the sky
And wherever you go
So will I
'Cause a double rainbow
Is hard to find
Was a phenomenon when you came along, yeah
Chemistry was more than science
It was deafening, loud like
lightning, it was striking, you couldn't deny it
They say one man's trash is another man's treasure
The two of us together, make everything glitter
'Cause I understand you,
We see eye to eye
Like a double rainbow
In the sky
And wherever you go
So will I
'Cause a double rainbow
Is hard to find
To the bottom of the sea, I'd go to find you
Climb the highest peak to be right beside you
Every step I take, I'm keeping you in mind
(Ooh ooh ooh)
'Cause I understand you,
We see eye to eye
Like a double rainbow
In the sky
And wherever you go (I go up for you)
So will I
'Cause a double rainbow
Is hard to find
It's hard to find
Oh it's hard to find
Once in a lifetime ah
Once in a lifetime
Once in a lifetime
About This Song
"Double Rainbow" is a deeply emotional ballad that explores the complex aftermath of a breakup, using the metaphor of a rainbow after rain to represent hope and healing following emotional turbulence. The song captures the bittersweet realization that even though a relationship has ended, the former partner will always hold a special place as a source of comfort and light during dark times. Perry's lyrics reveal someone grappling with the contradiction of losing someone while simultaneously recognizing their enduring positive impact on her life. The collaboration with Sia adds ethereal vocal layers that enhance the song's dreamy, introspective quality, with Sia's distinctive voice providing haunting harmonies that emphasize the emotional weight of the narrative. Musically, the track features a stripped-down production compared to Perry's typical pop anthems, incorporating gentle piano melodies and atmospheric soundscapes that create an intimate, vulnerable atmosphere. The "neon lights" reference suggests the artificial distractions of nightlife that can't replace genuine emotional connection, while the repeated promise that this person will "always stop my rain" reveals a deep gratitude for their transformative presence. The song resonated with listeners because it honestly portrays the complexity of post-breakup emotions-acknowledging loss while celebrating the lasting positive impact someone can have on our lives. This mature perspective on love and loss marked a more introspective phase in Perry's artistic evolution, showing her ability to convey profound emotional truths beyond her typical upbeat pop persona.
