The Sun
Architect Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Your light is deforming the pictures on the wall
I’m just staring numbly
As you open your heart
Like a new god you’re projecting new commands
I’m just sitting dazedly
As you open your heart to me

I walk out of my room to have a drink
Saving the ruins of the day
A yellow Sunday afternoon

I’m turning into the dark
Take me away

Golden fingerprints on the carpet
Show that you were here
And the contours of the clouds in the sky
Hiding a thousand miles
The contour of the sky
Hiding a thousand miles

I’m turning into the dark
Take me away




We’re turning into the dark
Take me away

Overall Meaning

The Architect's song "The Sun" is a beautifully melancholic reflection on the overpowering nature of love and the way it shapes the world around us. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of the all-encompassing power of a lover, who seems to be as powerful as a god, as they open their heart and project their will onto the world. The singer here is completely taken aback by the lover's strength and presence, staring numbly at the pictures on the wall as they begin to warp and deform under the light of this powerful being.


As the song progresses, we see the singer continue to be overwhelmed by the lover's presence. They walk out of their room and try to take in the remnants of the day, but even the sunny afternoon is tinged with a sense of melancholy and looming darkness. They feel themselves being pulled towards the dark, and seemingly losing themselves in the powerful energy that surrounds them.


The final lines of the song are perhaps the most poignant, as the singer reflects on the way the lover has left their mark on the world - golden fingerprints on the carpet and the contours of the clouds hiding a thousand miles. The singer and the lover both disappear into the darkness, their fates intertwined by the unrelenting power of love. Overall, "The Sun" is a hauntingly beautiful exploration of the power of love and the way it can shape our lives in profound ways.
