Facing The Sun
Fritz Kalkbrenner Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We be facing the sun
Waiting for these things to come
We smiling high
Watching the good things passing by
Pretend to feeling fine
But inside we're crying sometimes
It ain't what it seems
Nothing but a dream

And the faces get a void



And the lines get to thin
And the roads become uneven
So we don't know where've we been
And those who doubt us
Will soon believe
We were never supposed to win
Or even to achieve

We be facing the sun
Waiting for these things to come
We smiling high
Watching the good things passing by
Pretend to feeling fine
But inside we crying sometimes
It ain't what it seems
Nothing but a dream

And the faces get a void
And the lines get too thin
And the roads become uneven
So we don't know where've we been
And those who doubt us
Will soon believe
We were never supposed to win
Or even to achieve

Overall Meaning

Fritz Kalkbrenner's 2014 song "Facing The Sun" deals with the theme of hope, perseverance, and the bitter realities of life. The lyrics talk about holding onto hope while waiting for good things to come, even if the situation seems bleak. The phrase "we be facing the sun" can be interpreted as facing difficulties and struggles with a positive outlook, hoping that things will get better soon. Even amidst the pain, the singer puts on a brave front and smiles, but they are crying inside.


The lines "It ain't what it seems, nothing but a dream" suggest that the singer's optimism may stem from a false sense of hope, and they are aware that things may not work out as planned. The song's chorus and the verses that follow talk about how the road ahead is uncertain, as reflected by the lines "And the roads become uneven, so we don't know where've we been." The singer acknowledges that the journey is hard, and not everyone who starts on it may reach their destination. Still, those who doubt and question the singer's strength might change their opinion soon.


The song's haunting lyrics, combined with the electronic beats and Kalkbrenner's soulful voice, touch upon universal themes of love, loss, and a quest for a purpose. "Facing The Sun" offers a message of hope, albeit one that comes with a warning- that optimism can sometimes be a coping mechanism to deal with reality.


Line by Line Meaning

We be facing the sun
We are looking towards the future with positivity and hope


Waiting for these things to come
We are patiently waiting for our desires to be fulfilled


We smiling high
We are in good spirits and elated


Watching the good things passing by
We are observing the positive aspects of life as they happen


Pretend to feeling fine
We hide our inner struggles from others


But inside we're crying sometimes
We experience emotional pain despite appearing happy


It ain't what it seems
Our outward appearance is deceiving


Nothing but a dream
Our aspirations may not become a reality


And the faces get a void
People become jaded or emotionless


And the lines get to thin
The path we follow becomes uncertain


And the roads become uneven
Obstacles and challenges arise that we didn't expect


So we don't know where've we been
We lose track of our journey and feel disoriented


And those who doubt us
People who lack faith in us


Will soon believe
They will come to see that we are capable of success


We were never supposed to win
Our success may have been unexpected or not in the plan


Or even to achieve
Our goals may not have been meant to be attained
