The Sun
Astma Lyrics

The lyrics to Astma's song "The Sun" explores the theme of insanity in the midst of an unpredictable and chaotic world. The opening line, "I've a dream in times of nightmares" suggests that the singer is holding onto hope amidst a sense of dread that looms over them. The following line, "Because you know these days are so insane" reinforces the idea that there's a shared experience of uncertainty in the world.

The second stanza begins to explore the source of this insanity with the line "How crazy to think, that the darkness came from apart, it came from far away." This line can be interpreted in many ways, but it speaks to the idea that the problems the world faces aren't always visible, and often we don't see them coming. The question "Where does insanity come from?" highlights the fact that the source of turmoil in the world is often intangible and difficult to pin down.

The final stanza brings the focus back to the image of the sun. The first line "I saw the sun in a winter morning, grizzly and tired of the routine" suggests that even the most steady and reliable elements of nature are affected by the chaos of the world. The final lines "Today is gone, and everything starts over, even the sun has masks, how many more can it get from us?" speak to the idea that the world moves on, but we carry with us the scars of the past. The image of the sun wearing masks is a powerful metaphor for the ways in which we hide our true selves in order to survive in a chaotic world.
