Evensong
Gomez Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Red old eyes, now where you from
You catch me every day
Colours hide not even song
It's all been washed away

Sun stop going down
Come out again
Stop fading out
Awake again

Sun stop going down
Stop going down

Blues old face, you finally come around
And talking in your sleep
Buried secrets and fiery showdowns
Lost days in between

It's all the same
Let it go before it gets too late
Don't play our game

Sun stop going down
Come out again
Stop fading out
Awake again

Sun stop going down
Stop going down

Sun is going down
Come out again
Don't feel so proud
Get straight again

Sun stop going down
Stop going down

It's all the same
Let it go before it gets too late
Don't play our game

Sun stop going down
Come out again
Stop fading out
Awake again

Sun stop going down
Stop going down

Sun is going down
Come out again
Don't feel so proud
Get straight again

Sun stop going down
Stop going down

Sun stop going down
Come out again
Stop fading out
Awake again

Sun stop going down
Stop going down

Sun is going down
Come out again
Don't feel so proud
Get straight again





Sun stop going down
Stop going down

Overall Meaning

The chorus of this song by Gomez is a plea to the sun to stop going down and to come out again, to stop fading out and begin anew. The lyrics are reminiscent of a feeling of despair and unease, with references to buried secrets, lost days, and fiery showdowns. The singer is calling for a new beginning and an opportunity to let go before it's too late.


The color "red" is mentioned at the beginning of the song, followed by "blues" later on. These colors may represent a duality of emotions or situations. The red may represent passion and intensity while the blues may signify sadness and depression. The lines "colours hide not even song" is a reflection of the overwhelming nature of the emotions experienced by the singer.


The overall mood of this song is quite somber, with a feeling of helplessness and being stuck in a rut. The chorus repetition of "Sun stop going down" adds to this sense of desperation and the need for a change. The song tells a story of trying to move on from the past and trying to gain a new beginning.
