Empire of the Sun Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Come a little bit closer now, no need to say it out loud
On the day you brought the sound in the way you turned me up
On the roads I belong, no, nothing could go wrong
Oh, tonight I stepped out, the starlight shining through
Angels calling us, we don't have too far to go
Rely on this now, the day I felt alone
Did a little on the darker side in the jungle on the city block
We are just running high then I lift the fallen sky
Just when you wanted to give it, give it, give it up
Oh, tonight I stepped out, the starlight shining through
Angels calling us, we don't have too far to go
Rely on this now, the day I felt alone
Didn't wanna let you go, all we have is love to show
Oh, tonight I stepped out, the starlight shining through
Angels calling us, we don't have too far to go
Rely on this now, the day I felt alone
Didn't wanna let you go, all we have is love to show
In the lyrics to Empire of the Sun's song "ZZZ," there is a sense of whimsical playfulness and intimacy intertwined with themes of love and longing. The opening lines suggest a desire to escape reality and delve into a world where secrets hold no power, inviting the listener to partake in a game of lost and found. The idea of coming closer without the need for verbal communication hints at a deep connection between individuals that transcends words.
The mention of bringing "the sound" and a sense of belonging on the roads sets the stage for a journey or adventure where everything feels aligned and perfect. The lyrics convey a feeling of euphoria and invincibility, as if nothing could possibly go wrong in this moment of unity and togetherness. It's a celebration of being in sync with someone or something, basking in the joy of the present moment.
As the song progresses, the imagery shifts to a darker tone as the singer navigates through a jungle on a city block. This juxtaposition of light and shadow mirrors the complexities of life and relationships. The idea of running high and lifting the fallen sky suggests a defiance against obstacles and a determination to rise above challenges, even when it seems all is lost.
The repetition of the chorus reinforces the themes of unity, hope, and love. The starlight shining through symbolizes guidance and illumination in times of darkness, with angels calling out a reminder that there is always a path forward. The acknowledgment of feeling alone and not wanting to let go underscores the importance of connection and holding onto love as a source of strength and comfort. Overall, the lyrics of "ZZZ" paint a vivid picture of emotional depth and resilience, inviting listeners to embrace the power of love and togetherness in navigating life's uncertainties.

Come on, let's play lost and found where secrets serve no one
Let's embrace vulnerability and openness, as keeping secrets only harms ourselves
Come a little bit closer now, no need to say it out loud
Feel the connection without needing words to express it
On the day you brought the sound in the way you turned me up
Your presence brought joy into my life, amplifying my happiness
On the roads I belong, no, nothing could go wrong
When I'm with you, I feel like I'm where I'm meant to be, free from worry
Did a little on the darker side in the jungle on the city block
Ventured into unknown territory, embracing challenges and growth
We are just running high then I lift the fallen sky
During times of excitement and intensity, I feel empowered to raise up what has fallen
Just when you wanted to give it, give it, give it up
At the brink of surrender, you found the strength to persevere
