Sundowner
Endicott Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We are all dying in the fire that I set inside this house, and no matter how much time there is there won't be enough to get us out alive.
Well, some wishes never come true, even though you want them to, and some heroes never follow through with what they've promised you.
So we'll burn to the ground with the sun, tonight. And you can spread the ashes on you heart. in the end, all things I didn't get to say meant everything to me.
So I took everyone I ever loved, folded them up in this note, and threw it from the names.so we'll burn to the ground with the sun, tonight. And you can spread the ashes on you heart.
Just Promise me you'll sat my name it hangs on everybody's lips, but they've forgotten it. and we'll burn to the ground tonight with the sun, tonight, forever.
By Morning all that's left of us will be a little list of words and bloody fingerprints. And when you're waking up we can finally sleep.




Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Endicott's song "Sundowner" take on a poignant and emotional tone, exploring themes of death and the inevitability of its approach. The opening lines immediately set the stage for a somber narrative: "We are all dying in the fire that I set inside this house, and no matter how much time there is there won't be enough to get us out alive." The idea of setting oneself on fire, both literally and emotionally, is a powerful and symbolic image that sets the tone for the rest of the song.


The chorus of the song speaks to the idea that some things in life just never come true, no matter how much we may yearn for them to: "Well, some wishes never come true, even though you want them to, and some heroes never follow through with what they've promised you." The addition of the phrase "some heroes never follow through" adds another layer of complexity to the song's themes, suggesting that the people we look up to may not always be there for us in the ways we need them to be.


The final lines of the song's chorus are perhaps the most heart-wrenching, as the singer resigns themselves to their fate: "So we'll burn to the ground with the sun, tonight. And you can spread the ashes on your heart." The idea of ending one's life in fiery destruction is a powerful one, and suggests that the singer is ready to embrace whatever comes next. The song's final lines are similarly haunting, as the singer speaks of leaving behind a legacy: "Just promise me you'll say my name, it hangs on everybody's lips, but they've forgotten it. And we'll burn to the ground tonight with the sun, tonight, forever. By morning all that's left of us will be a little list of words and bloody fingerprints. And when you're waking up we can finally sleep." It's a powerful and sad image, one that suggests that the singer is ready to leave a mark on the world, even if it means sacrificing their own life.
