Shades
At Sunrise Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
While the morning's passing by
On gravel roads
I see trees in red and brown
And yellow.
Seems to be shades of green.
Do the fall cover me
Oh, I just
Have to wait and see
Honey I won't dare to lie
On the day you die
I die too
On my early ride from town
While the sun hurts my eyes
Through the car window
Spending my money
On travellin' wheels
Trying to fight the storm
Trying to be the one
Honey, I won't stand a chance
On the day you die
I die too
While you escaped my mind
You came twice as much again
The following day
Oh, I hate this way
From town and gravel roads.
Sing a long I bet you do
The radio's playing the same old tune
I don't know the signs of my tears
I guess its only morning air
This should be a beautiful day
But I'm no longer know those words
Half asleep and babe I'm burning
While I'm looking far away
Oh why
Do the fall cover me
Oh, I just
Have to wait and see
Spending my time
On homesick roads
Trying to stay in shape
Forcing the hours to go
Honey I won't dare to lie
On the day you die
I die to
On my early ride from town
While the sun hurts my eyes
Through the car window
Honey, I won't stand a chance
On the die you die
I die too
Honey I won't dare to lie
On the day you die
On the day you die
I die too
I die too
I die too
The song "Shades" by At Sunrise appears to be a contemplation of mortality and the passage of time. The singer is driving along a gravel road on an autumn morning, observing the changing colors of the trees. They lament the inevitable effect of time and change on their life and relationships, particularly the loss of a loved one. The repeated refrain "On the day you die, I die too" highlights the singer's sense of interconnectedness with the person they are addressing. The second verse suggests that the singer is traveling, perhaps trying to escape their thoughts or fill the void left by their loss. However, they ultimately realize that they can't outrun or ignore the impact of mortality.
The lyrics of "Shades" capture a sense of melancholy and nostalgia, as well as the beauty of the natural world. The use of colors such as red, brown, and yellow to describe the trees evokes a sense of seasonal change and transience, while the repetition of the phrase "spending my" in the second and third verses emphasizes the passing of time. The final lines suggest that the singer is yearning for something that they can't quite articulate or achieve, a sense of disconnection and longing that is echoed throughout the song.

On my early road from town
As I'm leaving town early in the morning
While the morning's passing by
As the day is just beginning
On gravel roads
Driving on rough, unpaved terrain
I see trees in red and brown
The trees have leaves that are changing colors for autumn
And yellow.
Some of the leaves are yellow
Seems to be shades of green.
Despite the other colors, there are still green leaves on the trees
Oh why
I wonder
Do the fall cover me
Why do I feel surrounded by the change of seasons?
Oh, I just
Oh, I simply
Have to wait and see
I need to give it time to understand my feelings
Honey I won't dare to lie
My dear, I cannot be dishonest
On the day you die
When you pass away
I die too
I will feel like a part of me is gone too
While you escaped my mind
Though you were out of my thoughts
You came twice as much again
Thoughts of you returned even stronger
The following day
The next day
Oh, I hate this way
Don't like feeling this confused
Sing a long I bet you do
You probably sing along to the radio too
The radio's playing the same old tune
The music isn't anything new
I don't know the signs of my tears
I am not sure what my tears are really for
I guess its only morning air
Maybe it's just something in the air of the new day
This should be a beautiful day
It's supposed to be a great day
But I'm no longer know those words
I don't feel the same way anymore
Half asleep and babe I'm burning
I'm tired but also feeling feverish
While I'm looking far away
As I gaze into the distance
Spending my time
Passing my days
On homesick roads
Traveling and feeling a sense of longing for home
Trying to stay in shape
Attempting to keep myself feeling good
Forcing the hours to go
Trying to speed up time to get past these feelings
On my early ride from town
On my drive out of town in the morning
While the sun hurts my eyes
Because it's shining so brightly
Through the car window
As I look through the glass
Honey, I won't stand a chance
Sweetheart, I can't bear the thought
On the day you die
When you pass away
I die too
It will feel like a part of me is missing
Honey I won't dare to lie
My love, I cannot be deceitful
I die too
I will be filled with sorrow and emptiness
On the day you die
When you leave this world
I die too
I will feel like I have lost everything
