Sun
Clover Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I hear what you're saying

I know where you've been

I see where you're headed

But my feet are planted in
The night is drawing closer

The air gettin' thin

Your clock is rolling out

Where you gonna hide

And I hear

What you're saying

And I know

Where you been

Like the sun

Sets so slowly

You laugh

All alone

The time is coming faster

Your fingers losing grip

You break so easily

On the lock and key

Yeah

The cup is running empty

A storm is coming in

You try and walk away

But you feel it move

And I hear

What you're saying

And I know

Where you been

Like the sun

Sets so slowly

You laugh

All alone

Yeah, I can feel her

Calling me back

And I know it's real





Yeah, yeah

There is a sense of impending doom, particularly in the lines "You break so easily on the lock and key," and "A storm is coming in, You try and walk away but you feel it move."

It could represent the singer feeling drawn back to the person they are describing, or it could represent a more abstract feeling of being called back to a sense of danger or darkness.
