Sun In My Eyes
Fialka Karel Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴

Woke up this morning
The sun in my eyes, I wished you were here
Woke up this morning
The dreams of the night all fading to clear

I'll run down the road just to
See how it feels
The sun in my eyes and the wind at my heels
Follow my footsteps, such a surprise
Wind at my heels and the sun in my eyes

Woke up this morning
Like tasting the day on the
Breath of this world woke up this morning
Like plunging my hands in a basket of pearls

I'll follow my senses to see what I find
The sun in my eyes and you on my mind
Follow the future, tell me no lies
You on my mind and the sun in my eyes

Woke up this morning the sounds that I heard
Were helicopters and doves
The sounds of war, the sounds of love
Building and rivers
And scarecrows and trees are all saying to me
Hearts on the highway, need no sanctuary

I'll run down the road just
To see how it feels
The sun in my eyes and the wind at my heels
Follow my future, tell me no lies
Wind at my heels and the sun in my eyes





Woke up this morning the sun in my eyes
I wished you were here

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Fialka Karel's "Sun in My Eyes" evoke a sense of yearning and longing for a loved one. The singer begins by describing waking up in the morning with the sun shining in their eyes, immediately wishing for the presence of someone special who is not there with them. This sets the tone for the rest of the song, where the theme of absence and desire for companionship is prevalent.


As the singer continues to reflect on their morning, they describe the dreams of the night fading away as they embrace the clarity of the new day. This transition from the ephemeral world of dreams to the stark reality of waking life mirrors the emotional journey the singer is on, where they are trying to come to terms with their feelings of missing someone.


The imagery of running down the road with the sun in their eyes and the wind at their heels symbolizes a sense of freedom and exploration. The singer is on a quest to discover how it feels to be alive in the moment, surrounded by the beauty of nature and the warmth of the sun. The repetition of these sensory experiences highlights the deep connection between the external world and the singer's internal emotional landscape.


The final verses bring a shift in the song's tone, as the singer hears the contrasting sounds of war and love, symbolized by helicopters and doves. This juxtaposition reflects the duality of human experience, where moments of conflict and peace coexist. The mention of hearts on the highway needing no sanctuary further emphasizes the theme of emotional vulnerability and the desire for connection. The song ends with a poignant expression of longing for the person the singer wishes was by their side, once again highlighting the central theme of absence and yearning.
