Sunlight
Anathema慭 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In the moonlight pale someone made me smile
The shining almost took me but I made it through that night
And in the morning life it graced me and I ran for miles
(Sunlight) In a billion dreams that are lost and won
(Moonlight) In spite of all you've seen there's only one way out
(Say you will love me until I leave the world)
(Say you will love me until I leave the world)
In spite of all you've seen there's only one way out
The lyrics of Anathema's song "Sunlight" evoke a sense of renewal and hope, after the singer goes through a difficult time. The first verse suggests that the sunlight has failed, possibly a metaphor for a personal struggle that the singer faced. However, the moonlight made them smile, and they managed to overcome the difficulties of the night. The contrast between the two lights might represent the ups and downs of life, and how we can find beauty in both.
The chorus brings a more universal perspective, as it mentions "a billion dreams that are lost and won". Despite the challenges we face, there's always a chance to succeed and find love. The repetition of "say you will love me until I leave the world" enhances the feeling of a deep connection and a sense of purpose. In the end, there's only one way out, and it's about making the most of the time we have, with the people we care about.
Overall, the lyrics of "Sunlight" are poetic and meaningful, inviting the listener to reflect on their own experiences and find hope in even the darkest moments.

Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
I would shun the light, share in evening's cool and quiet
Who would trade that hum of night
For sunlight, sunlight, sunlight
But whose heart would not take flight?
Betray the moon as acolyte
On first and fierce affirming sight
Of sunlight, sunlight, sunlight
[Chorus]
I had been lost to you, sunlight
And flew like a moth to you, sunlight, oh, sunlight
Oh, your love is sunlight
Oh, your love is sunlight, oh
But it is sunlight
[Verse 2]
All the tales the same
Told before and told again
A soul that’s born in cold and rain
Knows sunlight, sunlight, sunlight
And at last can grant a name
To a buried and a burning flame
As love and its decisive pain
Oh, my sunlight, sunlight, sunlight
[Chorus]
All that was shown to me, sunlight
Was somethin' foreknown to me, sunlight, oh sunlight
Oh, your love is sunlight
Oh, your love is sunlight
But it is sunlight
Oh, your love is sunlight
Oh, your love is sunlight
But it is sunlight, sunlight
[Bridge]
Oh, all these colors fade for you only
Hold me, carry me slowly, my sunlight
Oh, all these colors fade for you only
Hold me, carry me slowly, my sunlight
[Verse 3]
Each day, you'd rise with me
Know that I would gladly be
The Icarus to your certainty
Oh, my sunlight, sunlight, sunlight
Strap the wing to me
Death trap clad happily
With wax melted, I’d meet the sea
Under sunlight, sunlight, sunlight
[Chorus]
Oh, your love is sunlight
Oh, your love is sunlight
But it is sunlight
Oh, your love is sunlight
Oh, your love is sunlight
But it is sunlight
Oh, your love is sunlight
Oh, your love is sunlight
But it is sunlight
Oh, your love is sunlight
Oh, your love is sunlight
But it is sunlight
[Outro]
Sunlight, sunlight, sunlight, sunlight, sunlight

Hey, I would shun the light
Sharin' evenings cool and quiet
Who betrayed that I'm the night
For sunlight, sunlight, sunlight
But his heart would not take flight
Betray the moon as acolyte
I'm first and fierce if I'm in sight
Of sunlight, sunlight, sunlight
I have been lost in sunlight
Flew like a moth to you, sunlight, oh, sunlight
All we love is sunlight
All we love is sunlight
But it is sunlight
All the titles the same
Told before and told again
Soul that's born in cold and rain
Oh, sunlight, sunlight, sunlight
At last, came burgeoning
To bury it in a burning flame
It's love and it's decisive pain
Oh, my sunlight, sunlight, sunlight
All that was shown to me, sunlight
There's somethin' foreknown to me, sunlight, oh sunlight
All we love is sunlight
All we love is sunlight
But it is sunlight
All we love is sunlight
All we love is sunlight
But it is sunlight, sunlight
Ooh, and these colors fade for you
Hold me, carry me slowly, my sunlight
Ooh, and these colors fade for you
Hold me, carry me slowly, my sunlight
Each day, you rise with me
Know that I would gladly be
The eucharist to your certainty
Oh, my sunlight, sunlight, sunlight
You strap the weight of me
A death trap clad happily
With wax melted, I need to see
Under sunlight, sunlight, sunlight
All we love is sunlight
All we love is sunlight
But it is sunlight
All we love is sunlight
All we love is sunlight
But it is sunlight
All we love is sunlight
All we love is sunlight
But it is sunlight
All we love is sunlight
All we love is sunlight
But it is sunlight
Sunlight, sunlight, sunlight, sunlight, sunlight
