Just heard the news today, let yourself down once again
Trusted your feelings in a place that no one goes
Will you do anything, to satisfy your so-called friend?
There's something you ought to know, before you explode

All I want to do is make sure you stop chasing rainbows
Trusting those around you is an easy thing to do
I'm not saying don't believe in someone that you don't know
Just don't go on thinking that the whole world tells the truth

It's all fucked up, being reserved and quiet
She doesn't understand the message that you send
Don't give it all away somewhere, someday there's someone
Who can replace that state of mind, you never give it time (never)

All I want to do is make sure you stop chasing rainbows
Letting everybody crawl inside your heart and mind
Kicking you is easy when you're down that's when the weak know
To release their anger on someone who will not try
To stand up, and give them a fight

    General Comment:i ADORE this song..it has to be my FAVOURITE song ...
    i can relate to it..
    its pretty hard to explain, i think it's something like chasing rainbows..u neva find the end of the rainbow, the pot of gold...or mayb u keep chasing an impossible dream!! i also believe that his sayin that she puts everyone before herself (which can b bad) and that she is TOO nice, she needs to take a stand and not always do everything to please others! she has to learn to say no!! the other factor of the song is that she believes people are too kind, and trusts everyone..she needs to realise there are bad ppl in the world..i dunno...im stupid at explaining things **so y the hell am i on songMEANINGS ur probably wondering** well i found sumone i agree with...sKemo Kid said the song means: "stop trusting every one and comparing putting all ur trust in some one to trying to find the end of a rainbow--eg and impossible task"

    General Comment:I can't believe no one has mentioned this yet, but I think this song may have an underlying appliance to a former relationship one of the guys in the band may have gone through with someone who believed in God or something. As a whole, I think this song is about what pretty much everyone here has stated, but on a more personal level I think it might be about something like that. It makes sense when I read the lyrics, anyways.

    General Comment:This is my favorite song of theirs. It's about you can't trust everyone, because some of them just want to hurt you. Having too much faith in people sounds like a good trait, but I'd say mostly it's not.

    General Comment:awesome awesome song....I love it...its saying don't be a follower..in my personal opinion...like the gold at the end of the rainbow is impossible to get if you follow the rainbow...mainly because it doesn't exist...the supposed happiness you get from being a follower forever...yup...thats what I think...great song no matter...

    General Comment:I am the complete opposite of this. I trust no one. And if I do trust you are very lucky. I think I trust all of 2 or 3 people in this world. All because of people who have literally destroyed my trust in them. Now, I am very careful of who I let in my life.
