Sunset
Secret Eyes Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Let the sunset bring the rain
Like the morning brings my pain
I thought you'd be the one to believe in me again

But all I've got from you is why?
You had to say goodbye to me again
I'll be a better man
I thought you'd be the one who still believed in me
I was the only one who let you leave
You had to be the one to lie to me again
But you don't even know who I am
You don't even know, who I am

And now that you can only see
What you truly mean to me
Is something more you been waiting for…

I thought you'd be the one who still believed in me
I was the only one who let you leave
You had to be the one to lie to me again
But you don't even know who I am
You don't even know, who I am

Baby don't you know
We have been so close
How could you forget the one you said you loved the most

I thought you'd be the one who still believed in me
I was the only one who let you leave
You had to be the one to lie to me again




But you don't even know who I am
You don't even know, who I am

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Sunset by Secret Eyes detail the pain and confusion of a lost love. The singer is grappling with the betrayal they feel from this person who they thought would always believe in them. The use of the metaphor of the sunset bringing the rain is a poignant and beautiful representation of the emotions that the singer is trying to convey. The similar metaphor of the morning bringing pain is equally powerful- as if the day is a new beginning, it is only the reminders of their love that inflict hurt.


There is a clear sense of frustration on the singer's part. They wanted to be seen and believed in by their lost love, but instead, they were left with unanswered questions and the pain of betrayal. In the final verse, the singer begs their lost love to remember the love they shared and how close they were. The repetition of the lines "I thought you'd be the one who still believed in me, I was the only one who let you leave" encapsulates the heartbreak that the singer is feeling. The repeated phrase also emphasizes the singer's need for reassurance and validation.

@hoodie9653

WTF. The singers voice sounds significantly different on that track with Jonny Craig. If he had sang it less processed like this on that one track it would be killer.

@jessejetpacks9749

I agree.
