sunrise
Duran Duran攀 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Now the time has come,
The music between us
Though the night seems young-
Is at an end
Only change will bring
You out of the darkness
In this moment everything is born again
Put your hands into the big sky
You can touch the sunrise
Feel the new day enter your life
Reach up for the sunrise
Put your hands into the big sky
You can touch the sunrise
Feel the new day enter your life
Now the fireball burns,
We go round together
As the planet turns into the light
Something more than dreams to
Watch out for each other?
Coz we know what it means to be alive
Reach up for the sunrise
Put your hands into the big sky
You can touch the sunrise
Feel the new day enter your life
Reach up for the sunrise
Put your hands into the big sky
You can touch the sunrise
Feel the new day enter your life
Feel the new day,
Enter your life,
Feel the new day,
Reach up for the sunrise
Put your hands into the big sky
You can touch the sunrise
Feel the new day enter your life
Reach up for the sunrise
Put your hands into the big sky
You can touch the sunrise
Feel the new day enter your life
Reach up for the sunrise
Put your hands into the big sky
You can touch the sunrise
Feel the new day enter your life
In Duran Duran's song Sunrise, the lyrics describe the turning point in a person's life where they are ready to embrace change and start anew. The song opens with the repetition of "Lalalala lalalala lalalala-la," which is a common technique to grab the listener's attention through repetition. The first verse suggests that the "night" (a metaphor for a period of darkness or struggle) is coming to an end, and that only change can bring the individual out of it. The lines "In this moment, everything is born again" indicate the idea of rebirth or renewal, which further emphasizes that this is a turning point in one's life.
The chorus instructs the listener to "reach up for the sunrise, put your hands into the big sky" to touch the sunrise and feel the new day enter their life. The sunrise is a powerful symbol of hope and new beginnings, and the lyrics suggest that this is a moment for the listener to seize and embrace. In the second verse, the sun is compared to a "fireball" which is burning and causing the planet to turn into the light. This metaphor suggests that the listener can also become a source of light and positivity for themselves and for others.
The final chorus highlights the message of the song's lyrics - that we all have the power to embrace change and start anew, to reach for the sunrise and feel the new day enter our lives, and to watch out for one another as we do so.
