I think this is related to the ripple separation bit – the whole separation of white light into a spectrum of color. While we think of rainbows as being fixed in the sky they are not. A rainbow has no physical location –Â they are optical effects and thus can never be reached.
In addition, Goethe thought of rainbows as something in a state of perpetual change (like rippling water):
"Yet how superb, across the tumult braided, The painted rainbow's changeful life is bending, Now clearly drawn, dissolving now and faded, And evermore the showers of dew descending! Of human striving there's no symbol fuller: Consider, and 'tis easy comprehending –Â Life is not light, but the refracted color."
Any opinions on why "yer" is used? I've noticed that the Turkish "yer" has a lot of compelling meanings: place, position, and the planet earth just to name a few.
Hey Dross, this is one of the better looks at this song. Thanks for the thoughts. As for the "yer" question- it could be a stylistic choice. The beats used to shorten words just to give their tone a bit of an edge. Thom, never wanting things to be too pretty could very easily be softening the emotion that could be attached by the more formal "your."
