Hail The Sun formed with four friends who have been playing together for almost a decade. The sound they formed has a seductive touch, that invites ones ears to come along. Each band member brings their own style to the party, which forms a chemistry that is much more than a compound. Influences include only life, and modern mishaps and rendezvous. Musically and lyrically these guys go at it more than rabbits, more and more defining a unique sound. As the globe keeps turning, the sun keeps shining, and they keep hailing, harder than ice.

Hail the Sun Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Separate what I have to do from where I want to be
Backed up against the wall
I do it to myself
Always wanting more even when I get it
So I beg and plead for the unattainable
Once I have it, I lose interest just as fast
Fuck this anyway
Do I have to learn to live craving more than I'm given?
Fuck it all anyway
I will never be appeased
I don't know what's wrong with me
I will never be appeased
Panic in a post-apocalyptic state of mind
Manic mending severed satisfaction all the time
I always think there's more to find
One day I'm a wreck, the next I'm fine
Fuck this anyway
Do I have to learn to live craving more than I'm given?
(Not enough!)
Fuck it all anyway
I will never be appeased
I don't how it happened but something came over me
Separate what I have to do from where I want to be
Can't get away from this space
Can't rip away, I'm displaced
Displaced
Once again, was it meant?
Everything feels different
Never sure, does it last?
Everything goes too fast
In the back of my head I become embedded long before I know
Should I want to be around you and the roller-coaster virtues?
I don't want to know what you do, when I'm gone
'Cause I'm gone
The songwriter in Hail the Sun’s song Glass: Half Empty seems to be struggling with an urge for constant and unattainable satisfaction. They feel compelled to always want more, even when they have already achieved what they aimed for. They feel stuck in a cycle of craving and losing interest, leading to frustration and a sense of displacement. The singer also seems to recognize a pattern of manic behavior in themselves, as they struggle to navigate their post-apocalyptic state of mind. They seem to be aware of the inevitability of their dissatisfaction and seem to question whether they will always be like this no matter what they do.
The lyrics suggest that the singer is aware of their faults and is trying to separate what they need to do from what they want to do, but is still struggling to find peace with themselves. They feel trapped in their own mind and are questioning whether they have to learn to live with the constant need for more. Despite this, they seem resigned to their fate and express that they will never be appeased.

I don't how it happened but something came over me
I can't control my own desires
Separate what I have to do from where I want to be
I struggle to balance responsibilities with wants
Backed up against the wall
Feeling trapped by my own self-constructed standards
I do it to myself
I create my own problems
Always wanting more even when I get it
My desires are insatiable
So I beg and plead for the unattainable
I yearn for what I can never have
Once I have it, I lose interest just as fast
My interests quickly fade
Fuck this anyway
I'm frustrated with this cycle
Do I have to learn to live craving more than I'm given?
Must I always want more than what I have?
Fuck it all anyway
I give up
I will never be appeased
I will never be content
Panic in a post-apocalyptic state of mind
My mind is in chaos
Manic mending severed satisfaction all the time
I'm constantly trying to fill the void
I always think there's more to find
I never feel satisfied with what I have
One day I'm a wreck, the next I'm fine
My emotions are unstable
Can't get away from this space
I'm stuck in this mental state
Can't rip away, I'm displaced
I can't escape my own mind
Once again, was it meant?
I question the purpose of my actions
Everything feels different
My emotions are inconsistent
Never sure, does it last?
I'm unsure of the longevity of my desires
Everything goes too fast
My life moves too quickly
In the back of my head I become embedded long before I know
I become fixated on things without realizing
Should I want to be around you and the roller-coaster virtues?
Is it healthy for me to be around your unpredictable behavior?
I don't want to know what you do, when I'm gone
I fear what happens when I'm not in control
'Cause I'm gone
I've mentally checked out

I don't want to know what you do, when I'm gone
Cause I'm gone…

This song is a punch to the gut. In a good way though! It's literally the restless unsatisfied feeling I've been feeling for the past few months, and you put it into words. Fuck. I love this band.

Zach Watola
If you didn't know better, you would think they hated their drummer.

Zach Watola I love how he underplays his role in the band like that. Makes Phil Collins look like a douche lol
