Divine Brown Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I just wanna try to gage the crowd
They turned into moonlight, getting lost into the night life
I lose control when I feel that heavy sound
People letting go to the left, letting go to the right
And it feels so good, I'm flying high tonight
If you got to go bye I'll go with you if it's hot
But I can't go anywhere without my
(Sunglasses)
I can't go anywhere without my
(Sunglasses)
I can't go anywhere without my
(Sunglasses)
I can't go anywhere without
Can't go anywhere without
Can't go anywhere without my
(Sunglasses)
Now that we are in the dark
They wanna see me take them off
All the lights are shinning down on me
(Whooo, the lights are shinnin')
(Whooo, the lights are shinnin')
The music makes them come to life
Temperature is on the rise
I'm so excited I just wanna scream
People letting go to the left, letting go to the right
And it feels so good, I'm flying high tonight
If you got to go bye I'll go with you if it's hot
But I can't go anywhere without my
(Sunglasses)
I can't go anywhere without my
(Sunglasses)
I can't go anywhere without my
(Sunglasses)
I can't go anywhere without
Can't go anywhere without
Can't go anywhere without my
(Sunglasses)
Body tingles [unverified]
It doesn't matter if I'm good when I've got it
I can't go anywhere without my
People letting go to the left, letting go to the right
And it feels so good, I'm flying high tonight
If you got to go bye I'll go with you if it's hot
But I can't go anywhere without my

I can't go anywhere without my

I can't go anywhere without my

I can't go anywhere without
Can't go anywhere without

People letting go to the left, letting go to the right
And it feels so good, I'm flying high tonight
If you got to go bye, I'll go with you if it's hot

Divine Brown's song "Sunglasses" is a dance-pop number that celebrates the power of partying. The song opens with the singer feeling self-conscious and overwhelmed by the attention but soon finds relief in the pulsing beat and bright lights of the party scene. The chorus repeats that she can't go anywhere without her sunglasses, acting as both a fashion accessory and a shield against the constant scrutiny of others.
The lyrics paint a picture of a vibrant, nocturnal world where people let loose and dance without inhibition. The refrains of "letting go to the left, letting go to the right" capture the abandon and release that comes with the experience. The bridge suggests that even if the singer isn't quite sure if she's "good," the thrill of the moment and the music makes her feel alive.
The repeated lyrics become a mantra, affirming the importance of protecting oneself while also fully engaging in the joy of the night. Overall, "Sunglasses" is a catchy, upbeat tune that encourages the listener to embrace the moment and find liberation in music and movement.
