Tik'al
Belize Lyrics

In Belize’s song Tik’al, the lyrics describe a person who used to hide from the storms by pulling down all the blinds until the lights appeared. The storms represent a metaphor for the struggles that this person is going through. They were afraid of the consequences that come with these problems, but they found solace in the light that helped guide them through the darkness. The person mentions that someone had always shown them where the light was, hinting that someone had helped them through their struggles.

This person has been holding back their secrets, and it has been tearing them apart. They have been keeping their feelings hidden, which has led to them feeling broken and emotional. However, they have come to the realization that it’s time to try and move forward, and they want the sunshine to help guide them. The repetition of “bring me sunshine” emphasizes that they need something bright and positive to help lift them out of their struggles.

As the song goes on, it becomes apparent that this person has made progress in overcoming their problems. They are breaking their secrets slowly, and they can now see themselves more clearly. Someone who was helping them is leaving, but they reassure them not to cry and say it's alright. The song ends with the repetition of “bring me sunshine,” solidifying the idea that they need positivity in their life to keep moving forward.
