Sunrise
Angel City/Lara McAllen Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Talk to me
What are you doing
What are you thinking right now
Set me free
I'm just a prisoner to you
And time goes by
I'm still waiting forever and a day but
I thought I saw you yesterday

I thought those words
I heard you say

When I look at the sunrise
Sunlight melts my fears away
When you're living this feeling
Don't ever let it go
(ever let it go)
When I'm under the starlight
It feels right
The thought is on my mind
I'll set you free
(I'll set you free)
I'll set you free
Look at me
What are you thinking
Tell me what you're seeing
Let me go
If there's nothing you believe
And time goes by
I'm still waiting forever
and a day but
I thought I saw you yesterday

I thought those words
I heard you say

Line by Line Meaning

Talk to me
Please communicate with me

What are you doing
What is your current action

What are you thinking right now
What thought process are you currently engaged in

Set me free
Release me from my current situation

I'm just a prisoner to you
I am restricted in my actions and choices by your influence

And time goes by
The passage of time continues

I'm still waiting forever and a day but
I continue to patiently wait for an indefinite period of time

I thought I saw you yesterday
I believed I caught a glimpse of you in my recent past

I thought those words
I believed I heard those specific words at some point

When I look at the sunrise
Observing the sun rising in the morning

Sunlight melts my fears away
The light and warmth of the sun alleviates my anxieties

When you're living this feeling
Experiencing this emotion

Don't ever let it go (ever let it go)
Hold onto this feeling forever

When I'm under the starlight
Being illuminated by the light of stars

It feels right
It feels correct and fulfilling

The thought is on my mind
This idea is dominating my thinking

I'll set you free (I'll set you free)
I will release you from any constraints or limitations

Look at me
Direct your attention towards me

What are you thinking
What is the content of your thoughts

Tell me what you're seeing
Describe what you are perceiving

Let me go
Release me from confinement or entanglement

If there's nothing you believe
If you lack conviction in anything

I'm still waiting forever
I continue to wait indefinitely

and a day but
And even longer

I thought I saw you yesterday
I believed I perceived you in my recent past

I thought those words
I believed I heard those exact words at some point
