Naked Sun
...And You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm a naked sun, see right through me
I'm a naked sun
I have no clouds to conceal me
I have not one
Maybe someday I'll forget
To rise up but it hasn't happened yet
I've got you sunburnt now

In the morning rise up to greet me
And say I'm number one
In the evening cry when I'm leaving
And the day is done
Maybe someday I'll confess
A love once warm gone cold like all the rest
I've got you sunburnt now

I'm a naked sun, see right through me
I'm a naked sun
I'm not the moon you thought you left me
So bright have I become
Maybe someday I'll accept
Your faults, 'til then I'll curse the day that we met
I've got you sunburnt now

I'll burn a way out

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Naked Sun" by...And You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead, are open to interpretation. The opening line, "I'm a naked sun, see right through me," suggests the singer is in a vulnerable, exposed state. They have no "clouds," or defenses, to hide behind. The repetition of "I'm a naked sun" reinforces this imagery, with the singer emphasizing their nakedness and lack of protection.


The reference to rising suggests the cyclical nature of life, and how the singer is always exposed and vulnerable, even when they're at their peak ("say I'm number one"). The line "In the evening cry when I'm leaving" suggests a relationship that is ending, and the pain that comes with it. Perhaps the singer is blaming their own vulnerability for the breakdown of the relationship, with the line "Your faults, 'til then I'll curse the day that we met" implying a lack of acceptance of the other person's flaws, and a certain level of bitterness.


Overall, "Naked Sun" is a song that deals with themes of vulnerability, exposure, and the pain that comes with these emotions. The singer is struggling to accept their own nakedness, and is possibly punishing themselves for it. The song's imagery is powerful and evocative, creating a sense of rawness and emotion that is hard to shake.
