Into the Sun
Evans Blue Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

A stretch of time or a dream
And both were over for me
I'm sorry to say you are mistaken

But the harlot never boasts
She never lets go of the ghosts
Of fortune to remember her faults
Around the world, come find me for ....
When everything goes high
Too high to overcome
Without me once again

You better hold me down
Or I will float away
Into the sun, the feeling's gone
And I can't remember

I can't remember why
You ask so many questions
But I can't go on
Avoiding all the air

So just stay close
And never to come out
'Cause you don't want to leave

You changed from being clever
Into a liar
Without you come down
You kept me from my

High, too high to overcome
Without me once again

You better hold me down
Or I will float away
Into the sun, the feeling's gone
And I can't remember

If you fooled me this would be a royalty
If I told you this won't be real
I can't tell you this won't be forever
I can't hold you until we're for real

If you fooled me this would be a royalty
If I told you this won't be real
I can't tell you this won't be forever
I can't hold you until we're

High, too hight to overcome
Without me once again

You better hold me down
Or I will float away




Into the sun, the feeling's gone
And I can't remember

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Evans Blue's song Into the Sun follow the story of a person who is struggling to find their place in the world. They are caught in between two states, a "stretch of time" or "a dream" that has now ended, and they feel lost in the present. The person apologizes for correcting someone who mistook their situation and continues to express their feeling of being trapped by letting go of their past. They feel like a harlot who is haunted by the ghosts of their fortune and faults, unable to escape from their past.


The lyrics suggest that the person is searching for something to hold onto, something that will prevent them from "floating away" into the uncertain and unknown future. They plead with someone to "hold them down," as they are afraid they will lose themselves in the light of the sun. The person is aware that they are changing, that they are becoming a liar instead of being clever, and they implore the person to stay close to them. The song ends with a repetition of the chorus, with the person continuing to feel lost and unable to remember why they are feeling this way.
