Sunrise
DEV ft. The cataracs Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm staying up late tonight
I'm in a forgien city
Poppin' bottles in the ice
And all these girls are pretty
I'm staying up late tonight
Me and my best friends gettin' shitty
Poppin' bottles in the club
And you know we gettin' drunk
('Til the sunrise up, the sunrise up)
('Til the sunrise up, the sunrise up)
('Til the sunrise up, the sunrise up)
('Til the sunrise up, the sunrise up)
('Til the sunrise up, the sunrise up)
('Til the sunrise up, the sunrise up)
('Til the sunrise up, the sunrise up)
('Til the sunrise up, the sunrise up)

I just did a car bomb
In the backseat of a car
I'm like a cellphone with no bars
Swing! motherfucker on par
We are, here for one reason
So keep the ratio even
And keep the radio beepin' (on and on)
Like simpsons season
Bleakin' on the bathroom floor
Got her wet like a thunderstorm
Sleep with me and not a whore (no!)
Daddy breaking down the back door
Ain't fuckin', then what the fuck you for?
Work it, where you get our source?
Twista, get on all fours
Off the lights, on the floor

I'm staying up late tonight
I'm in a forgien city
Poppin' bottles in the ice
And all these girls are pretty
I'm staying up late tonight
Me and my best friends gettin' shitty
Poppin' botles in the club
And you know we gettin' drunk
('Til the sunrise up, the sunrise up)
('Til the sunrise up, the sunrise up)
('Til the sunrise up, the sunrise up)
('Til the sunrise up, the sunrise up)

Lookin' at the sunrise, dumb high
Got game to get you girl
Sunside, onside, all of that
From b-town where the ballers at
Holla back if you my homie
If you're not, then get to know me
No snake but I might bite, girl
Half naked with a half white, girl (yeah)
Feeling like I have bites
Turn you on like a flashlight
Go man, oh hop on my bike
Like look ma, no hands
No plans but I'm spiderman
You mary jane, my fighter man
Vicodin, stop the beat
The sunrise look new to me

Can you see it?
What, where is it?
It's over there
Yeah it is
Over the horizon
The sun, the sun
It's rising

Til the sunrise up, the sunrise up
Til the sunrise up, the sunrise up
Til the sunrise up, the sunrise up
Til the sunrise up, the sunrise up
Til the sunrise up, the sunrise up
Til the sunrise up, the sunrise up




Til the sunrise up, the sunrise up
Til the sunrise up, the sunrise up

Overall Meaning

The song "Sunrise" by DEV ft. The Cataracs is a party anthem that talks about staying up all night, popping bottles in a club, and getting drunk with friends till the sunrise. The song portrays the excitement of being in a foreign city and exploring its nightlife, meeting new people, and having a good time. The lyrics convey the vibe of the party lifestyle, where people indulge in reckless behavior, hook up, and live like there's no tomorrow.


The first verse talks about the anticipation and the thrill of staying up late and exploring the city. It highlights the fun of being with friends, popping bottles in a club, and enjoying the company of attractive girls. The chorus repeats the line, "Til the sunrise up, the sunrise up," which symbolizes the party continuing till the morning.


The second verse talks more about the carefree attitude of the party culture, where people are focused on having a good time and nothing else. The lyrics suggest that people are willing to do anything for pleasure and indulge in risky behavior. The bridge features a spoken-word sample from an unknown male voice that talks about the rising sun and the perspective it brings. It contrasts with the lyrics preceding the bridge and suggests that the party lifestyle is temporary and that the sunrise brings a new perspective.
