sundown
Acetone Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The night is bound to fall.
Everything oozes, edge of a razor, check it and bleed.
The moon will shed its shadow,
And look just like the sun.
The dark one has a light spot,
That's how they can relate.
Everything oozes, edge of a razor, check it and bleed.
The lyrics of Acetone's song Sundown are poetic and mysterious. The opening lines, "Time makes its incision, the night is bound to fall," suggest a sense of inevitability and perhaps even a hint of foreboding. The metaphor of time as a surgeon, making a surgical cut, implies that something significant is about to happen - something that cannot be avoided.
The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "Everything oozes, edge of a razor, check it and bleed." These lines are enigmatic and open to a range of interpretations. The image of everything oozing suggests a sense of decay or disintegration, while the edge of a razor implies sharpness or danger. The phrase "check it and bleed" adds yet another layer of complexity - it could be interpreted as a warning to be careful, or as a call to action to confront a difficult situation.
The final lines of the song are equally cryptic: "The moon will shed its shadow, and look just like the sun. The dark one has a light spot, that's how they can relate." These lines are challenging to interpret, but they seem to suggest a sense of opposites or paradoxes - the moon shedding a shadow and looking like the sun is a contradiction, and the idea of a dark one having a light spot hints at complexity and nuance. Overall, Sundown is a song that invites the listener to delve deep into its meaning and symbolism.

Nope, the theme is back from 1969, try Isaac Hayes in "Walk On By", here just covered on the guitar.
