Under The Sun
Coloursound Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Alone except for the sound of the rain
I want to experience life in all its glory
I don't want to live in time pacified by the silence
I want to be out there at the centre of everything
Alive at the centre of everything
Under the sun is where i want to be under the sun
I don't want to live a future blinded by eternal faith
I don't want to come again i don't need a second chance
I believe in one life one life one life only
Alive at the centre of everything
Under the sun is where i want to be under the sun
Under the sun
I don't want to live if i can't have life
I don't want life if i can't live
I just want to run beneath the headlands
Over the ocean under the sun
Under the sun is where i want to be under the sun
Under the sun
Under the sun under the sun under the sun under the sun
Under the sun under the sun under the sun under the sun
The opening lines of Coloursound's song Under The Sun speak to a desire for connection and experience, rejecting the isolation of eternal life and instead embracing the fleeting, sensory experience of the present. The singer does not want to be alone, but rather surrounded by the sounds and sensations of life. The mention of the rain, which can be both calming and tumultuous, underscores this desire for a full and varied existence.
The chorus, repeated throughout the song, declares the singer's desire to live fully "under the sun." This phrase evokes images of warmth, brightness, and a shared experience of living on Earth. The singer believes in a single life, and rejects the idea of a second chance or an afterlife in favor of experiencing the world in real time.
Taken together, these lyrics articulate a philosophy of living in the moment and appreciating the fleeting beauty of life. They reject the concept of an eternal afterlife or reincarnation and instead embrace the idea of fully experiencing the world around us.
