Sun Goes Down
Icona Pop Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Don't know how I got here, searching for some answers
Searching for some answers, searching for some answers
Don't know how I got here, searching for some answers.
Been a long time since I landed on this isle,
Now my only hope is this message in a bottle,
This message in a bottle, message in a bottle.
Now my only hope is this message in a bottle.
Oh, it's getting harder
Please send me a sign
I can be your lighthouse
I'll be on the shore
I'll be waiting for you 'til the sun goes down
I'll be waiting for you 'til the sun goes down
I'll be waiting for you 'til the sun goes down
No tidal wave could turn me around
To just take this on my own kept getting kind of woozy
Turning kind of dark now, feeling like I'm losing,
Feeling like I'm losing, feeling like I'm losing
Turning kind of dark now, feeling like I'm losing.
Been a long time since that message in a bottle,
Feel like it's my time now, it's getting hard to swallow
Getting hard to swallow, getting hard to swallow.
Feel like it's my time now, it's getting hard to swallow.
Oh, it's getting harder
Please send me a sign
I can be your lighthouse
I'll be on the shore
I'll be waiting for you 'til the sun goes down
I'll be waiting for you 'til the sun goes down
I'll be waiting for you 'til the sun goes down
No tidal wave could turn me around
I can be your lighthouse
(You can be my guide)
I can be your lighthouse
I'll be on the shore
"Sun Goes Down" by Icona Pop tells the story of someone who wakes up alone on a deserted island, unsure of how they got there and desperately searching for answers. The repeated refrain of "searching for some answers" highlights the singer's confusion and sense of isolation. The only hope they have is a message in a bottle, which they desperately cling to as a lifeline of sorts. However, time passes, and the singer begins to lose hope. They feel as though they are losing themselves and their grip on reality, reflecting the desperation and despair that can come with loneliness and uncertainty.
In the midst of this struggle, the chorus offers some hope. The singer calls out to anyone who might be listening, asking for a sign or a way out. They offer to be a "lighthouse," guiding someone else to safety and waiting for them until the sun goes down. This plea for connection and the offer of support contrast with the earlier verses' sense of isolation and fear, suggesting that even in the darkest moments, hope and connection are possible.
Overall, "Sun Goes Down" is a powerful exploration of isolation, confusion, and the human need for connection. By framing the story through the lens of a person stranded on an island, the song highlights these emotions in a visceral way that many listeners can relate to.
