Orpheus
Ash(애쉬) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Just sleeping, thinking and hanging around
Left the dark streets of September
As the air was cooling down
Woah yeah it was cooling down
I need the sunshine in the morning
I'm heading for the open road
Lord you gotta let it flow
Yeah yeah yeah
Ever since I lost her
Seems the more I learn, the less I know
Everyday I think about her
But if I look back I'm gonna turn to stone
To stone, woah yeah gonna turn to stone
I need the sunshine in the morning
I'm heading for the open road
Sunshine in the morning
Lord you gotta let it flow
I need the sunshine in the morning
Yeah I gotta feel its glow
Sunshine in the morning
Lord you gotta let it flow
I'm heading for the open road
I'm heading for the open road
I'm heading for the open road
It hit me without warning
I was left out on my own
The sad times they were forming
I went through them alone
A new day it is dawning
I feel the pain is gone
The open world is calling
And I am moving on
I need the sunshine in the morning
I'm heading for the open road
Sunshine in the morning
Lord you gotta let it flow
I need the sunshine in the morning
Yeah I gotta feel its glow
Sunshine in the morning
Lord you gotta let it flow
The lyrics of Ash's song Orpheus appear to be about someone coming to terms with a significant change in their life. The first verse describes a period of idleness and reflection during the summer, before the onset of autumn. There is a sense of reflection and contemplation, as if the singer is taking a moment to assess themselves and their situation. The second verse seems to suggest that this change was brought about by the loss of someone close to the singer, which has left them feeling lost and uncertain. They acknowledge that they don't have all the answers, but they're moving forward anyway, trying to find their way.
Throughout the song, the repeated refrain of needing "sunshine in the morning" and "heading for the open road" suggests a desire for a new start and a fresh perspective. There is a sense of optimism in the face of difficult circumstances - the singer knows that they need to keep moving forward and that there are brighter days ahead, even if they're not sure exactly what those days will look like.
Overall, then, Orpheus seems to be a song about resilience and the human capacity to keep going in the face of adversity. The singer is honest about their struggles, but they don't let those struggles define them. Instead, they seek out new horizons and remain open to whatever possibilities the future might hold.
