sundown
Endless Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

What a man felt
When he saw a sundown
For the first time
Over a high fence
In the end of the world
Far away from shores

Far away from sea
Far away from ground
That four elephants decided
To carry on their backs
How long was he waiting?
Watched the horizon
Where the last rays got lost!

Before he shut his eyes
He saw pictures in the stars
What was on his mind
When the morning sun
Started to bask his neck

What was on his mind
Wondering he turned
Away from the west
And saw the same sun




For the second time there
Deja vu.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Endless's song Sundown describe the experience of a man witnessing a sunset for the first time in his life, and the profound impact this moment had on him. The lyrics are imbued with a sense of wonder and awe at the beauty of the natural world, and convey the man's sense of isolation and distance from civilization as he witnesses this sublime event. The song works to contrast the vastness of the natural world with the limitations of human experience, and explores the tension between the limitations of our individual perspectives and the scale and complexity of the universe.


The first verse establishes the setting for the song: the man is in a far-off place, seemingly cut off from civilization. The fence and the reference to the four elephants carrying the ground suggest that the man is in a remote, almost mythical location, far from any recognizable landmarks or markers. In this setting, the man is struck by the beauty of the sunset, and as the last rays of sunlight slip beneath the horizon, he experiences a moment of profound introspection.


The second verse further emphasizes the man's sense of isolation and distance from the world around him. He watches the horizon, lost in thought, and sees pictures in the stars. These images point to his inner world, suggesting that he is moved not only by the beauty of the natural world but by the way it reflects his own inner life. As the morning sun rises, he is left to contemplate the reality of his experience and what it means for him. The final line "Deja vu" creates a sense of circularity, implying that the man's experience is not isolated, but part of a larger pattern or cycle.
