An Iron The Sun
Diet Lite Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You lost your spot in line
That's what you get for playing your petty crime
Now back it up jack
Got someone else's fix
The teller's obvious he sure ain't your nix
You could be doing fine
Instead you'll probably be doing timeYou could throw rocks at the politicians you despise
Or go for broke driving ninety towards the county line
Sidecar overflow with triple-sec and golden bricks
Nix that attitude or you'll be talking to the jury
I hear they've got pick up sticks
The land is fine
So they should've said
Yet I find myself between an iron and the sun
When the gig was up they had us surrounded
"We know what you got in that car"
You objected
That the truth was much more convoluted than that
Didn't matter so you let them take you in again
Now I'm minding myself again
Yet I'm enshrined in iron out or in
In "An Iron + The Sun" by Diet Lite, the lyrics describe a situation where the singer's companion has gotten into trouble for some kind of petty crime. They have lost their place in line and are being confronted by someone who is not willing to help them out. The lyrics suggest that instead of engaging in these petty crimes, the person could have been doing well for themselves, but now they are likely facing jail time. The song also touches on themes of rebellion and frustration towards politicians, as well as the idea of taking risks and living on the edge.
The lyrics further explore the consequences of the singer's companion's actions. They mention the option of throwing rocks at politicians and expressing disdain for them, or taking a risky drive towards the county line. The reference to a sidecar overflowing with triple-sec and golden bricks suggests a hedonistic and reckless lifestyle. The singer warns their companion to change their attitude or they may end up in front of a jury, which connects to the mention of pick-up sticks, a game known for its unpredictable outcomes. The mention of being "between an iron and the sun" signifies being trapped in a difficult situation with no clear way out.
Overall, the song captures a sense of rebellion, consequences, and the frustration of being caught in a dangerous situation. It highlights the choices made that led to this predicament and the potential for personal growth and change.

When the gig was up they had us surrounded
Once our secret or illegal activity was exposed, we were completely encircled
"We know what you got in that car"
"We are aware of the items or substances you have in that vehicle"
You objected
You expressed disagreement or protested
That the truth was much more convoluted than that
Claiming that the reality is far more complex or intricate
Didn't matter so you let them take you in again
However, it did not make a difference, so you allowed them to arrest you once more
Now I'm minding myself again
Now I am being cautious and attentive to my own actions
Yet I'm enshrined in iron out or in
Nevertheless, I am confined or protected by an iron structure, both externally or internally
