SUNRISE
ÐÂÖÈÐò(New Order) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
One way conversations do not work somehow
Tell me how does one get your soul in touch with the one above
When one way conversations pay a price for the use of love
I tried so hard last night you would not talk to me
I live with the fear of the few with the gift
And I know what's going to be
You gave a gift that you then took away
Like you never did before
Your name might be God but you don't say that much to me
Your name might be God but you don't say that much to me
We might be your black sheep
But you forgot us a long time ago
We might be your lost sheep
But it's time you remembered us now
As we spend our days together, nothing can go wrong
No one told the truth about it because it was so strong
If you ever think of me, if you hear my name
If you read between the lines, you'll hang your head in shame
These? ?? Ears will never hear, the ice will never freeze
Whatever I have done for you I did because you complained
(whatever you may think of me whatever you may say
I've lived my whole life in danger,
You've lived your life in hate)*
The lyrics of "Sunrise" by New Order capture the desperation of someone who is trying to communicate with a higher power, but feels as though their attempts are futile. The singer has been waiting for a response and feels frustrated that the communication is one-sided. They genuinely want to connect with the divine and need guidance from the higher power, but the silence is deafening. The lyrics suggest that the singer is asking for forgiveness for their sins, and trying to find a way to reconnect with God. However, they are plagued by fear and doubts.
The second verse addresses a feeling of rejection from God. The singer questions why they were given a gift that was taken away so abruptly. They feel forgotten by God and lament the fact that they seem to be the "black sheep" of His children. The lyrics suggest that the singer feels isolated from their family, as if they have been excluded from God's love.
The final verse is a plea to God, asking for the truth to be revealed. The singer implores God to remember them and to acknowledge their existence. They want to believe that nothing can go wrong, but they know that there is a deep-seated issue that needs to be addressed. The lyrics suggest that the singer has lived in constant danger and that their life has been difficult. They want to find a way to reconcile with their higher power and to find peace.
