Unto the Sun
Elitist Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Disconnect from what you know to be reality
Fuse into your surroundings
You're not alone
Underneath the sun
You're not alone
Underneath this illusion
I give my blood
Unto the sun
I give my blood
Who will be chosen to restore the power, to the kingdom of light
The third in the sequence
The last to announce
The lost word
The last sound
Unto the sun
I give my blood
In search for the power
Unto the sun
I give my blood
Sacrificing all that's left in me
Who will be chosen to restore the power, to the kingdom of light
The third in the sequence
The last to announce
The lost word
The last sound
Unto the sun
I give my blood
Unto the sun
I give my blood
Open up your mind
Disconnect from what you know to be reality
Fuse in to your surroundings
You're not alone
Underneath the sun
You're not alone
Underneath this illusion
The lyrics to Elitist's song "Unto the Sun" have a mystical and enigmatic quality to them. The song invites the listener to open up their mind and disconnect from their current perception of reality in order to fuse into their surroundings. The repeated phrase "Unto the sun, I give my blood" suggests an offering or sacrifice being made to some higher power, possibly in search of power or enlightenment. The lines "Who will be chosen to restore the power, to the kingdom of light?" and "The lost word, the last sound" add to the sense of mystery and quest for knowledge or enlightenment.
The song could be interpreted as an invitation to explore new ways of thinking and being, to shed old beliefs and structures and embrace the unknown. The repeated lines "You're not alone underneath the sun" could be a message of reassurance and solidarity, reminding the listener that we are all connected and part of something larger than ourselves.
Overall, the lyrics to "Unto the Sun" seem to be calling for a journey of self-discovery and a willingness to let go of what we think we know in order to gain something greater.
