Sunshine
Atmosphere Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
How painful the hangover was today
In front of the toilet, hands and knees
Trying to breathe in between the dry heaves
My baby made me some coffee
Afraid that if I drink some it's probably coming right back out me
Couple of Advil, relax and chill
At a standstill with how bad I feel
I think I need to smell fresh hair
So I stepped out the back door and fell down the stairs
The sunlight hit me dead in the eye
Like it's mad I gave half the day to last night
My bad sight made me trip on my ass right into
That patch of grass like that's life
All of a sudden, I realize something
The weather is amazing, even the birds are bumpin'
Stood up and took a look and a breath
And there's that bike that I forgot that I possessed
Never really seen exercise as friendly
But I thing something's telling me to ride that ten speed
The brakes are broken, it's alright
The tires got air and the chain seems tight
Hopped on and felt the summertime,
It reminds me of one of them Musab lines like
Sunshine, sunshine, it's fine
I feel it in my skin, warming up my mind,
Sometimes you gotta give in to win,
I love the days when it shines, whoa let it shine
Sunshine, sunshine, it's fine
I feel it in my skin, warming up my mind,
Sometimes you gotta give in to win,
I love the days when it shines, whoa let it shine
If I could I would keep this feeling in a plastic jar
Bust it out whenever someone's actin' hard
Settle down, barbecue in the backyard
The kids get treats and old folks get classic cars
Every day that gets to pass is a success
Every woman looks better in a sun dress
The sunshine's an excuse to shoot hoops, get juice
Show improve their moves and let loose
I hear voices, I see smiles to match em
Good times and you can feel it in the fashion
Even though the heat cooks up the action
The streets still got butterflies
Enough kids to catch 'em
Ridin' my bike around these lakes man
Feelin' like I finally figured out my escape plan
Take it all and the day started off all wrong
Somehow now that hangover is all gone
Ain't nothing like the sound of the leaves
When the breeze penetrates these south side trees
Leanin' up against one, watchin' the vibe
Forgettin' all about the stress, thanking god I'm alive
It's so simple, I had to keep the song simple
When I get home I'm gonna open all the windows
Feelin' all right, stopped at a stop sign
A car pulled up, bumpin' Fresh Prince's Summertime
I feel it in my skin, warming up my mind,
Sometimes you gotta give in to win,
I love the days when it shines, whoa let it shine
Sunshine, sunshine, it's fine
I feel it in my skin, warming up my mind,
Sometimes you gotta give in to win,
I love the days when it shines, whoa let it shine
The lyrics of Atmosphere's song "Sunshine" describe the aftermath of a hangover, with the singer feeling sick and miserable. However, as he steps outside, he's struck by the beauty of the day and decides to go for a bike ride, feeling the warmth of the sun on his skin and enjoying the sights, sounds, and smells of his surroundings. The song is a celebration of simple pleasures, of finding joy and beauty in unexpected places, and of the way that nature can help us to heal and feel alive again.
Through the use of vivid imagery and sensory details, the song takes us on a journey from pain and discomfort to a feeling of lightness and freedom. The singer finds solace in the warmth of the sun, the sound of birds, the feel of the wind in his hair, and the simple pleasure of riding his bike. Although the hangover represents a moment of weakness and vulnerability, it's also a catalyst for growth and transformation, as the singer learns to appreciate the beauty of the world around him and to feel grateful for the little things in life.
Overall, Atmosphere's "Sunshine" is a powerful testament to the healing power of nature and the importance of taking time to appreciate the beauty and wonder of the world around us. Whether we're feeling sick or down, there's always something positive to focus on, something to give us hope and inspire us to keep on living and enjoying life.

Ain't no way to explain or say
It's impossible to find the words to describe
How painful the hangover was today
The hangover was excruciating today
In front of the toilet, hands and knees
I was kneeling in front of the toilet
Trying to breathe in between the dry heaves
I was attempting to catch my breath in between vomiting
My baby made me some coffee
My significant other brewed me a cup of coffee
Afraid that if I drink some it's probably coming right back out me
I was hesitant to drink the coffee, worried that I may throw up again
Couple of Advil, relax and chill
I took a couple of Advil to ease the pain and tried to relax
At a standstill with how bad I feel
I couldn't do anything due to how terrible I was feeling

So I stepped out the back door and fell down the stairs
I stumbled down the stairs while going outside
The sunlight hit me dead in the eye
The bright sunlight shone directly in my eyes
Like it's mad I gave half the day to last night

Stood up and took a look and a breath
I got up and took a deep breath
And there's that bike that I forgot that I possessed
I spotted a bike that I had forgotten about
Never really seen exercise as friendly
I've never viewed exercise as enjoyable
But I think something's telling me to ride that ten speed
However, I felt a voice urging me to ride the bike
The brakes are broken, it's alright
The bike's brakes were broken, but I wasn't worried
The tires got air and the chain seems tight
The tires were fine and the chain was taut
Hopped on and felt the summertime
I mounted the bike and felt the essence of summer

Settle down, barbecue in the backyard
I could relax and have a barbecue in my backyard

The children receive treats and the elderly get prized automobiles
Every day that gets to pass is a success
Simply existing and witnessing each new day is a triumph
Every woman looks better in a sun dress
Women appear more attractive in sundresses
The sunshine's an excuse to shoot hoops, get juice
People can use the sunny weather as an excuse to play basketball and enjoy beverages
Show improve their moves and let loose
They can showcase their skills and dance freely
I hear voices, I see smiles to match em
I hear others talking and can see their smile reflecting their happiness
Good times and you can feel it in the fashion
The good times can be seen in people's clothing and style
Even though the heat cooks up the action
Despite the heat making things more intense
The streets still got butterflies
There is still a sense of excitement in the air
Enough kids to catch 'em
There are plenty of children to capture the butterflies
Ridin' my bike around these lakes man
I am cycling around these bodies of water
Feelin' like I finally figured out my escape plan
I feel like I have finally figured out a route to escape
Take it all and the day started off all wrong
Despite starting the day off on the wrong foot
Somehow now that hangover is all gone
Somehow, my hangover has disappeared
Ain't nothing like the sound of the leaves
There is nothing quite like the sound of rustling leaves
When the breeze penetrates these south side trees
When the wind blows through these trees on the south side
Leanin' up against one, watchin' the vibe
Leaning against a tree and observing the atmosphere
Forgettin' all about the stress, thanking god I'm alive
Forgetting all of my troubles and being grateful for my life
It's so simple, I had to keep the song simple
The concept is so straightforward, I chose to keep the song simple
When I get home I'm gonna open all the windows
I plan on opening all of the windows when I arrive home
Feelin' all right, stopped at a stop sign
Feeling good, I paused at a stop sign
A car pulled up, bumpin' Fresh Prince's Summertime
Another vehicle stopped beside me, playing Fresh Prince's Summertime

This song helped me out a lot at the beginning of my recovery. It always reminds me of how terrible I would feel the next morning after heavy drinking. Hangovers, I don't miss them a bit. To think about how many days I lost recovering from the night before or plans, I screwed up letting down family and friends. Just for a night of temporary happiness to be led by dreadful days that led to depression and miserable recovery. Being able to wake up now feeling good, not worrying about where I left the car keys or wallet, wondering what the hell happened last night, or where I am, is terrific.
When you trapped in a cycle, dependent on alcohol or other substances, you forget what true happiness is. You stop doing activities you once enjoyed, or don't do as often because you're recovering or too worried about that next drink or use to make you feel better. You forget about the little things in life that matter and make every day worth getting up. There's more to life than a bottle and a bag.
It is not easy at first to reconnect with activities you once enjoyed doing, because we forget what they were. When you have to drink or get high to have fun, you forget how to live. It's kinda sad when you think about it, 'I need to alter my brain with substances to enjoy myself.' But we get to that point and don't even realize it. Its never too late, once you can catch yourself, you can change yourself.
Not only does this song remind me of the bad but also the good. It sings about that seriously who wants to be stuck in a bed all day when it's beautiful out. To get outside and take everything in that nature has to offer is a special kind of internal high. It sings about those little things in life that make us happy, " It fills you with good energy to get up, out, and have some fun. Spend a day sober means you'll wake up the next day energized, fresh, and ready to go all over again.
My favorite part of this song is,
Sometimes you have to give in and accept the fact what your doing is not working, and alcohol or drugs are the problems. Accept defeat, surrender, give in, so you can turn yourself around and take back that life you once had and deserve. Learn to enjoy yourself without the substances so you can love the days ahead in the

Never really seen exercise as friendly

Hopped on, and felt the summertime
It reminds me of one of them Musab lines

Sunshine sunshine, it's fine
I feel it in my skin, warmin' up my mind

A car pulled up, bumpin' Fresh Prince at Summertime
Summer summer, time
I feel it in my skin, warmin' up my mind
Sometimes you gotta give in, to win
I love the days when it shines
Whoa, let it shine
Sunshine, sunshine it's fine
I feel it in my skin, warmin' up my mind
Sometimes you gotta give in, to win
I love the days when it shines
Whoa, let it shine
Whoa, let it shine
Whoa, let it shine
Whoa, let it shine
Whoa let it

15 years listening to this song, and it never gets old. It somehow manages to reach a different place within me every time I listen to it. Priceless, ageless, timeless. I love you, Slug, and I love you, Ant. Thank you for helping me stay alive.

Approach it like everything after the second fall is a hallucination because he hit his head and is unconscious. A few of his songs explore the moments leading up to death or mortality, so it's not a stretch and would explain the jarring sudden shift if what's happening.
