Sun
Dave Pearce Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Restless lover, spread your wings as the day begins.
[Chorus]
It's just the sun rising.
It's just the sun rising.
It's shining.
It's just the sun rising.
Oh,
Learn to love your secret life, your still calm and gentle life.
Your resolution comes too fast, now the night is past.
[Chorus]
Ah,
Smiling, gliding, breathless, you're riding.
Love is just a state of mind that we leave behind.
[Chorus]
Chicka, chickah
Let yourself go.
[Chorus]
It's shining.
[Chorus]
Life, life.
Life, life.
Life, life.
Life, life.
(Shining)
Life, life.
(Shining)
It's just the sun rising. (Rising.)
It's rising
It's rising
The lyrics to Dave Pearce's song "Sun" depict a contrasting duality between the external world and the inner thoughts and emotions of an individual. The opening lines, "Movement, outside, silence inside, Restless lover, spread your wings as the day begins," suggest a sense of stillness and calmness within oneself while the world outside is bustling with activity. It highlights the idea of finding solace and peace amidst the chaos.
The chorus, "It's just the sun rising, It's shining," repeats throughout the song, emphasizing the metaphorical significance of the sun. The rising sun represents new beginnings, a fresh start, and the potential for growth and transformation. It serves as a reminder to embrace the possibilities that each day brings.
In the second verse, the lyrics shift to reflect on the importance of embracing one's true self and finding contentment in the simplicity of life. The lines, "Learn to love your secret life, your still calm and gentle life, Your resolution comes too fast, now the night is past," encourage the listener to appreciate the quiet moments and the beauty found in the everyday.
The final verse introduces the idea that love is transient, just a state of mind that can be left behind. It suggests that the pursuit of personal growth and self-discovery should take precedence over attaching oneself to fleeting emotions.
