Pink umbrella idiom?

[Starstreams]

Hi, sorry I tried posting this question in the idiom section but the forum gave me an error saying I don't have privileges to post there.
Anyway,

What doses the expression [pink umbrella] mean? I heard it used in a Tears for Fears CD-song title [Break it down]. And today I saw a girl with a pink umbrella in a video. What doses it mean?

Advanced thanks!



Here are the words btw

Break it down again

So those are my dreams
And these are my eyes
Stand tall like a man
Head a strong like a horse

When it’s all mixed up
Better break it down
In the world of secrets
In the world of sound

It’s in the way you’re always hiding from the light
See for yourself you have been sitting on a time bomb
No revolution maybe someone somewhere else
Could show you something new about you and your inner song
And all the love and all the love in the world
Won’t stop the rain from falling
Waste seeping underground
I want to break it down

Break it down again

So these are my schemes
And these are my plans
Hot tips for the boys
Fresh news from the force

When it’s all mixed up
Better break it down
In the world of silence
In the world of sound

" no sleep for dreaming" say the architects of life
Big bouncing babies, bread and butter can I have a slice
They make no mention of the beauty of decay
Blue, yellow, pink umbrella save it for a rainy day
And all the love and all the love in the world
Won’t stop the rain from falling
Waste seeping underground
I want to break it down

Horsin’ around
Pray to power
Play to the crowd with your big hit sound
And they won’t simmer won’t simmer, won’t simmer down
Play to the crowd
Play to the crowd
Play yeah yeah

It’s in the way you’re always hiding from the light
Fast off to heaven just like moses on a motorbike
No revolution maybe someone somewhere else
Could show you something new to help you
With the ups and downs
I want to break it down
Break it down again

Break it down again
No more sleepy dreaming
No more building up
It is time to dissolve
Break it down it again
No more sleepy dreaming

I'm not sure what the lyricist intended-- some kind of emotional protection against adversity, perhaps-- but 'pink umbrella' is not an idiom. The lyrics are, ' Blue, yellow, pink umbrella'.

Thanks Tdol!

@ Mister Micawber, your right, and I did see that.
But I noticed that often I see girls in videos caring pink umbrellas, I just thought it meant something. I think I’ll just let it go though.

Mister Micawber, you're right.
