Rainbowarriors Lyrics

Cover art for Rainbowarriors lyrics by CocoRosie

Well, as the person above me said about the significance of "two-spirits" in certain Native American cultures, I would also go along with queer reading of this song. It seems like CocoRosie is creating a mythology about about queer people in general, and this queer god or hero of sorts, Rainbowarrior, like Hercules or something, kind of along the lines of "The Origin of Love" in Hedwig and The Angry Inch. I mean, they're singing about looking hard for the "rainbow trail deep inside ya" and "rainbow love" and fighting for rainbow freedom in general (come on, connect the dots). Not to mention the video has Bianca in drag (she actually makes a really hot boy).
