Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I got to keep moving
and
I said woa now the sun is going down
I got to keep moving
so take your dancing feet,
we got that good sensi,
the meditation that we seek, it feels
so sweet, yea.
and
I said woa now the sun is going down
I got to keep moving
and
I said woa now the sun is going down
I got to keep moving
and your on my mind.
with that cali body, oh so fine.
girl you dream my mind so i feel right.
and I said woa now the sun is going down
I got to keep moving
and
I said woa now the sun is going down
I got to keep moving.

So let the bass line drop
we gotta keep it moving
so let the bass line drop
we gotta keep it moving

we got those good vibrations get to moving
cali girls, finer than gold and pearls
we got the sound to keep those bodies
groovin'
and I said woa now
the sun is going down I got to keep moving
woa, know the sun is going n' I got to keep moving yea.
The lyrics to Pacific Dub's "Sundown" depict a desire for movement and keeping oneself busy as the sun sets. Perhaps the singer is feeling restless or seeking some sort of adventure as the night comes. The repetition of "woah now the sun is going down, I got to keep moving" emphasizes this urge to stay active and not let the nightfall bring about stagnation. The lyrics also hint at a sense of community or togetherness, with the mention of "dancing feet" and "good vibrations" that get people "grooving." The singer seems to have someone on their mind, a "cali body" that "dream[s] [their] mind" and makes them "feel right." In this sense, the night could be seen as a time for bonding and connecting with others.
The song's lyrics also suggest a fondness for sensory experiences like "good sensi" (a type of cannabis) and "meditation." The latter could be interpreted as a way to alleviate stress and promote relaxation, while the former is known for its calming effects. Through these mentions, the song creates a laidback and mellow atmosphere, fitting for a sunset or evening setting.
