Dodie Clark - Rainbow Poison Lyrics






Green, pink, chocolate, blue
Why do colours of poison look so good?
Here's fun in a glass; drink it up now

More bubbles smooth but sharp
Gulp it down like oxygen in the dark
There, it'll make you feel alive; drink it up now

And I didn't want the night to end
This liquid is my best friend
Yeah, I didn't want the night to end, no
And I didn't want the night to end
This liquid is my best friend
Yeah, I didn't want the night to end, no
No, no

Look at me, I'm on top of the world
Goodbye, strings, I'm a pretty girl
And now I know I've gone too far; drink it up now
Green, pink, chocolate, blue
Why is rainbow poison so bad for you?
And now I know I've gone too far; drink it up now

And I didn't want the night to end
This liquid is my best friend
And I didn't want the night to end, no
And I didn't want the night to end
This liquid is my best friend
And I didn't want the night to end, no
No, no
No, no

Dodie Clark Rainbow Poison Comments
  1. L.... k....

    I came out to my mom as pansexual (still questioning) when I was 10 then explained it to her. She was supportive but in the past two years it seems that support has dissipated. Everytime I bring it up she always argues with "No, you're not. Liking the same sex requires intercourse." and "Could you imagine having sex with (female crush's name)? Could you imagine grabbing her tits? Or her grabbing yours? Or touching her down there? Or her touching you like that?" Which she knows just the topic of sex makes me want to avoid all human contact. I keep telling her that I think I'm asexual because just the topic of it makes me uncomfortable and I get disgusted. Yeah I could imagine it but not do it. It is also the fact that sex is personal so how would you like it if I asked about your sex life? Her best argument is "Asexual doesn't exist nor does Aromantic because you require sex in a relationship and a relationship to live." I told her I was demisexual which I for sure am and she was okay with that. I have yet to tell her that I identify as a demigirl mostly for the fact of her strong hate for people who identify with they/them pronouns. Because "there are and only will be two genders." and "There is no such thing as a gender identity." She is also slightly transphobic. Like calling a cousin by their dead name and birth gender. Another example is an experience I had with her. We were at the mall and told her I wanted a wallet with my favorite anime character on it because I just love that character. But she said "Wallets are for boys are you a boy? No, I have a daughter and will only have a daughter." Then she took me to Justice which I hate, and I kept turning down all the stuff she wants for me. She then mumbled "I thought I had a daughter not a son." Which we argued about and because of me making her mad she spent an hour and a half longer in the mall knowing I had to be somewhere to do a project with my group members that was 80% of our grade in a subject I'm failing. Ontop of all of this I get bullied and beaten up at school for being a "rainbow" along with all my other "rainbow" friends. Which I go to an arts school what do they expect? These people have gotten sent to the office over a billion times but never got suspended or expelled but the moment a boy tells a teacher to back away from his face he gets suspended.

    Thanks for coming to the sexuality support group.

  2. S.... ....

    Me and my girlfriend vibe and cry to this together, bonding over the difficulty of being gay (I'm not able to come out to my family)
    I'm so glad she's there for me and I love her a lot <3

  3. L.... &....

    I was outed by my aunt to my dad. I had already experienced so much in the summer of sixth grade, and I was going to church camp, and to be honest, I had never been so scared. I’m still not sure of my sexuality, but I will find my way.

  4. A.... L....

    "How can i be proud of what a million people shout at me im not" Geez that hits hard

  5. P.... ....

    damn. this is so good. you should release it, please.
    I'm autistic (and LGBT+ too) but this fits perfectly for autistic people too. I just love it.

  6. R.... K....

    I need the chords for this omg

  7. S.... ....

    I wish I could still favourite videos.

  8. y.... m....

    How can this song manage to make me cry multiple times

  9. E.... N....

    LGBTQ’+ yes 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈

  10. F.... *....

    I wish this song was on spotify

  11. F.... 3....

    I’m kinda sad because I don’t know my sexuality, I know there’s no rush to figure it out but I think I might be pansexual. This song is so beautiful!

  12. j.... s....

    powerful, beautiful, thank you.

  13. W.... W....

    someone needs to put this on spotify. please :(

  14. g.... ....

    i'm incredibly grateful to live with such an accepting family, but i wish everyone else got that too. love is love, and everyone deserves a loving family, and it upsets me to see such ignorant people treat the lgbtq+ community like their trash when they aren't. they are humans just like us, and i wish we all had it better because we all deserve it better. i wish the best to all of you who feel so wrong, because one day, you'll feel right. it will take a while, but i promise you, it will all be worth it.

  15. a.... _....

    This is so cute (*´꒳`*)

  16. F.... D....

    Y'all i actually broke the replay button 😂
    I kept starting it over so I could draw to it and YouTube legit closed out on me 😂

  17. F.... D....

    Even as a lesbian, i relate to this song in a non-lgbt way, which makes me even more upset than my homophobic parents.
    At school we have a *very* accepting community and I can be who I am without real judgement (obviously friends are going to tease but they don't mean it) and 80-90% of my friend group is LGBT, we have 2 openly LGBT teacher and the rest are hella supportive and they'd never say the gay things i do to me parents because they know the situation. So i feel very welcome and accepted for who I am by my (chosen) family.
    However, there are things I can't even fake not having issues with and are just very embarrassing for me to share, even if they aren't the worst things in the world. I have breakdowns over just the fact that I can't just be normal. But I do have a few people in my life who make it feel ok. Less inhuman. More normal. So I really really to this song that way.

  18. L.... ....

    oh "my title talks all over me, i never even asked to be this way" is a trans mood since I've started uni

  19. M.... F....

    The performance of this in San Diego was breathtaking, helllo?

  20. i.... ....

    ivealreadycriedsixtimestodayohmygOsH

  21. K.... A....

    "I never even asked to be this way."
    "When I'm so used to feeling wrong, well it makes me feel alright."
    This song hit me right in the chest, growing up in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, where being gay is a sin. When I realized that I'm bisexual, I cried for hours. I struggled for months to try to talk myself into just ignoring it, and pretending to be the perfect straight girl I'm expected to be. I came out to my parents, sister, and aunt, and only my aunt fully supported me. My 10 year old sister told me that she thinks it's wrong and gross, and if I date a girl she won't ever talk to her. Even I didn't fully believe that being gay is not a sin, even though I know logically it wouldn't be. I'm finally starting to realize how beautiful life is when you accept yourself, and this song really captured my feelings so well. Learning to accept my feelings and treat them as a blessing rather than a curse is the hardest thing I've ever done, but it's also the happiest I've ever been.

  22. j.... e....

    this song speaks to me on an emotional level








    catch me cryin in my room to this song aNY TIME



    dodie just KNOWS how to convey empathy in all of her music; it’s beautiful.

  23. K.... A....

    What I'm wondering is, why in the world is this not on Spotify?

  24. m.... s....

    RAINBOWS AND RAINBOWS ARE LIFE SO I ATE THEmmmmmmm.....


    edit: THEY TASTE GREAT WITH SALT

  25. A.... B....

    I need this on Spotify now

  26. D.... G....

    to the 430 dislikes y r u straight

  27. Y.... B....

    Well, I'm 13, so, I found out I was bi at 11, I started having a confusion the day in my classroom we played truth or dare and they dare me to kiss a girl, so I did, n I really like that kiss, but she was my closest friend, so I couldn't tell my friend about that I really like the kiss, well, i asked my mom i said this exactly words "i think i like girls", we were in a car, alone, so she convinced me that I only admired her and bisexuals didn't exist, and I felt really bad cuz time later I heard mi mom talking to my grandma that I was only trying to get attention, and i really wasn't, well, i was so confuse so i started talking to a guy in my class, he told me that i should be proud, that he was proud of me for admitting that, i gave him a smile. Right now I'm really sure, and my mom doesn't know, my dad is homofobic, well, my mom says that the bisexuals are just pervert and when i talk about some gay couple, she only talk about how they have sex. Mom, you are making me sad, it's your fault every time i hurt myself cuz I thought I was going to hell the day I die, mom, not everything in this fucking world is sex, you got to mature, you are not a child anymore. Dad, the gays are not wrong, you are wrong, they mind is not stupid, your mind it is, the word bisexuals exist for a reason, you guys should worry more about me, and you should understand me or at least not say that things about the community, MY community

    Y.... B....

    I'm 14 and bisexual, and my mom thinks the same way. I'm very lucky to have my auntie Christy, who even though she is very religious still supports me. Stay strong, sister, and never let those stupid homophobes bring you down 💖💜💙

  28. d.... ....

    im studying for a concert in a few hours

  29. M.... A....

    One of my best friends had come out as pansexual and leaning towards females, and I acted very okay with it. However, for a good month or two, I didn't feel nearly as comfortable to sleep over at her house, platonically hold hands with her, pretend to be gay in public with for laughs, as I had before. Especially after she had come out to me as having a crush on me, someone straight and only having platonic feelings for said friend. Everything was fine, but it took me a shamefully long time to realize that none of that changed anything. Maybe she liked me, and maybe she liked females, but this was still the same girl I had spent countless hours adoring for her laugh and odd bits of her personality. She was the same person, just a little more honest with herself now. She still doesn't know how I felt for that short time, and I don't intend to tell her, but I still can't believe that I even considered her to be any different than the amazing person I had always known her to be.

  30. R.... G....

    Oh Lord I’m so fucking gay

  31. e.... ....

    when i came out to my mum she said she had been in a lesbian relationship once and the girl was extremely jealous and insecure about her significant other being around men. according to her, because that was her first and only experience, every single lesbian relationship automatically is jealousy and insecurity with zero trust. so, now she thinks i'm just going through a phase. it hurts knowing she thinks i'll be a jealous insecure person because i love a girl. she refuses to acknowledge my attraction to girls completely and only ever focuses on finding me a boyfriend or husband. it really, really sucks. this song still helps me get through some of the harder days....so thank you. really, thank you so much.

  32. N.... ....

    Why doesn't dodie write songs for Steven Universe?

  33. S.... B....

    IM SEEING YOU TONIGHT AAAAAAAH

  35. C.... T....

    Dear dodie: I just want to thank you. I have both autism and add and whenever I’m overstimulated I lock myself in a dark room and put on your music and I eventually get better

  36. m.... s....

    I'm finally brave enough to come back and like this video

  39. s.... r....

    love this song

  40. A.... P....

    I remember sobbing with the release of this video & here I am over a year later doing the same thing,, this song just really hits That Spot in my soul

  41. A.... A....

    “ how can i be proud of what a million people shout at me i am not “, can someone explain it to me ? i don’t understand

    A.... A....

    I would say it's up for interpretation, but to me it means that she was having difficulty being proud of being LGBT because people would tell her she wasn't. Hope that helps!

    A.... A....

    XDiamondTiaraX oh ok, thanks for explaining !

  42. H.... S....

    This is relatable in every way possible to me

  43. s.... x....

    I have listened to this song a million times and I have cried so many times like wow, I can't get over how emotional this song really is. I've went through a lot of trouble with my feelings and this song reminds me that I'm still human and that I'm not alone ^w^ Thank you dodie for being that role model I could, and still can, look up to

    Tutorial. Please. SOON. PLEASE.

  60. B.... G....

    the first time I listened to this I thought it was such a cute song. now, when I sing it... I cried. this song has so much feeling in it that I can't even put it into words. what I can say though is, Thank you. Thank you Dodie, for existing in this world to bring such beautiful music like this. You are truly a gift.

  61. j.... ....

    "so please step inside my soul
    i'd love to watch you gasp.
    you'd understand in minutes,
    and i'd like to think you'd miss it
    cause so would i"
    every line in this song is so powerful but this one in particular echos with me. i wish that people who grew up being told they were 'normal' could see things how i do. i wish they could see how beautiful everyone around me is and how hard i struggled to see myself as beautiful too.
    thank you for making me feel heard, dodie.

  62. p.... s....

    Dodie i hope you know how incredible important this song is for me and so many people of the community love u

  63. M.... G....

    I was crying the whole way through, and I don't think I ever cried because of a song before.

  64. C.... S....

    Please can this be put on Spotify, please please please

  65. B.... ....

    I still come back to this song and I just cry. This song hits hard. Have a nice pride month y'all. And remember you're valid.

  66. L.... S....

    This crushed my heart, I don't know how you do it every time dodie but jezz I could listen to your songs for eternity🌈💕 you're such a precious human

  67. y.... i....

    This hits dead center home. My parents accept me and love me and joke around and talk about girls and feed into my weird love for rainbows and the colors pink blue and purple together in some stripes. But... I always feel in the middle. I like to understand things but I never fit the examples or relate to the metaphors. "I thought it would feel good to know why I'm different" feels so good because it's the only thing that fits. I'm so different from everyone else that I have no clue what's normal and what isn't or how to deal with things in the best way for me because I always fall somewhere in the middle. I started to notice everything and now I feel alone and distant and separated from everyone. Like, looking out the glass. I've been told before that bi doesn't exist. Its one or the other. I heard it on a show. It hurt. I was told that I don't belong. And I mean all my life I've known that I don't fit in anywhere cause I'm a special little blob and I'm happy this way but its starting to feel like everything is backwards. I want somewhere I belong. Somewhere I feel that this is where I can be everything at once and not hold back parts of myself amd only show the other parts. It's like being depressed. You feel like you sometimes laugh but never truly. Never fully.

  68. W.... I....

    I've got to say you're the best rainbow

  69. H.... T....

    As a lesbian who is in a relationship, this song hit me so hard. It brought me back to walking in the hallway holding my girlfriend’s hand and hearing guys shout harassing comments at us, and seeing people lean over to each other and whisper about us. I’ll post stuff on my social media about how proud I am of my sexuality, and then I get shot down by some homophobic kid that goes to my school who doesn’t think I have the right to live. Thank you for this song, because it perfectly sums up what it’s like to be lgbtq+.

  70. A.... T....

    “To say that im a rainbow”
    “To tell me that I’m bright”
    “When I’m so used to feeling wrong”
    “Well it makes me feel right”

    I might cry this hits home so hard. I’m so used to hear my family talk about gay people like they are some kind of plight when I’m in the closet myself and its kind of been drilled into me, but i also have a strong sense of pride for who i am and I’m always conflicted and confused. But when i see rainbows or the flag i get reminded that i am a beautiful messy cacophony of colours and even though I’m confused and kind of scared, that’s ok. God this song is so perfect.

  71. M.... w....

    came back to this song a year later, now being out to my parents, but it still makes me cry and sob. Thank you for creating this masterpiece dodie.

  72. J.... K....

    Waiting for dodie to post a new video for pride month but honestly I’d listen to this song forever and feel pride for myself and for everyone else

  73. W.... I....

    Happy pride

  74. P.... P....

    i got a gay ad before this

  75. T.... G....

    I know it’s almost been a year since this song came out but I just wanted to say as a person who is in the closet with unsupportive parents, this song means more to me than anything.

  76. L.... J....

    Someone help me explain how tf to play this damn song. My baritone will not tune to DGBD it sounds awful help 😞

  77. C.... L....

    IT'S PRIDE MONTH AGAIN!!

  78. J.... L....

    I keep crying my heart out to this song. Happy pride 2019 💓

  79. A.... B....

    happy pride everyone!

  80. D.... B....

    happy pride month 2019 everyone!!!

  81. d.... c....

    HAPPY PRIDE MONTH !!!

  82. c.... b....

    i just want to say thank you to my friend for sending us this at 12am on june 1st

  83. K.... ....

    It's pride month in 8 mins so crying over this lol

  84. C.... ....

    i am a proud frying pan, we come out of pantries and cabinets not closets.

  85. S.... C....

    *Slams hand on table* YOU'RE NO RAINBOW.



    You're a pink, blue, and purple gradient.

  86. K.... G....

    Hey okay so I see people are sharing there coming out stories so I’m gonna share mine

    I fell in love with a girl and it felt right, and I have always noticed that women were gorgeous, but I forced myself to always like boys because I was too scared to admit to myself I was attracted to girls. Then one day I started asking a lot of questions about the lgbtq+ community to my family and friends because my older sister had recently came out and one day my oldest sister said “if another one of you (me or my siblings) were gay, or trans, I would be happy because I just want my siblings to know that I’m okay because I want my little siblings to be happy and have someone there.” I bursted into tears and I basically flat out said through tears that I’m bi and my sister just held me and told me “I know and it’s okay, I would never hate you for loving someone” I later came out my family and friends and I’ve never felt happier in my life.

  87. B.... B....

    ‘How could I be proud of what a million people shout at me I’m not’ is something that crosses my mind way too often.
    ‘But to say that I’m a rainbow’ always follows closely behind❤️

  88. M.... ....

    Should rename to dopey

  89. S.... T....

    Listening to this at half 12 at night, everything really fucking hurts and I'm trying to cry as quietly as I can.
    I'm so glad I can come and listen to this when everything else is too much.

  90. L.... B....

    My sad gay (stop saying that, you are pan sksk) ass needed this.

  91. B.... B....

    I’m questioning and every time I hear this song, I cry. I cry because I feel it hits very close to home, but I scream at myself that I’m not gay and I don’t deserve to listen and feel something when I hear this song. I sob because I don’t know who I am and I’m so lost on how I should feel. I don’t even know where to start or how to end.

    I’ve told my mom that I’m questioning, and after a day or two, she came to the conclusion she doesn’t mind. She told me I don’t need to rush to find a label. It felt amazing when she said that, but as of now, I can’t stop thinking about labels, and which one belongs to me.

    I’ve built up so much pressure when it comes to sexuality that whenever someone brings it up I tense and my face gets red. Sometimes my eyes water.

    I tell myself I’m not gay, and I don’t deserve beautiful songs like this. I don’t deserve to get that special validation when someone accepts you for your sexuality, because I’m the normal, straight.

    I don’t know who I am, but I know that whatever I end up being, my mom will be there for me.

    B.... B....

    Whoever you are, whatever you feel, I promise it’ll make sense one day. You don’t need a label or to even know for sure. Go with what feels right and everything will eventually click into place and you might not even realise it. Stay strong, whoever you are 💖

  92. A.... S....

    I was brought up in a line
    But I seem to walk in circles
    It's getting hard to navigate
    When every map was never made for me

    I thought it would feel good
    To understand why I was different
    But my title just talks over me
    I never even asked to be this way

    But to say that I'm a rainbow
    To tell me that I'm bright
    When I'm so used to feeling wrong
    Well, it makes me feel all right

    I didn't think it fair
    I was not to be trusted
    How can I be proud of
    What a million people shout at me I'm not

    So please step inside my soul
    I'd love to watch you gasp
    You'd understand in minutes
    And I'd like to think you'd miss it
    Cause so would I

    But to say that I'm a rainbow
    To tell me that I'm bright
    When I'm so used to feeling wrong
    Well, it makes me feel all right

    So say that I'm a rainbow
    And tell me that I'm bright
    When I'm so used to feeling wrong
    Well, it makes me feel all right

  93. F.... ....

    This made me cry. I am still new to knowing I am genderfluid and I am so scarred to come out and to be out because much of society doesn't believe genderfluid people exist. I was going through a really tough part in my life trying to except who I am (still working on it) and had to be homeschooled. I feel guilty for not just powering through and being out to spread awareness that I and others exist. My dad doesn't really care and sort of just tolerates people and my mom is accepting though doesn't get it but my brother hates anyone in the LGBTQ+ community who isn't just a cis gay. And I don't know what my friends would feel about it. I wish I could just be myself.

  94. B.... B....

    I would really like for this to be on Spotify

  95. Y.... G....

    anyone listening on May 20-bi-teen?
