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 ↴
All that you are (falls apart)
The life you give (burns away)
I'll shoot you down
I am the light that ends the night
Do you really have to kill me?
Do you really have to kill me?
I'll shoot you down (nothing left)
All that you are (falls apart)
The life you give (burns away)
I'll shoot you down
This is how it's meant to be
You've got problems if you're only fearing me
This arrow's pointed straight at you
Like a selfless supernova bows before black holes
I'm giving more and more
I'm burning at the core
I'm burning at the core
Burn us all, burn us all, burn us all
Quickly
Burn us all, burn us all, burn us all
Quickly alive
I dare you to try to end this fight
It's quite alright
It's better off this way
Blood spilt on this Earth
Can not be seen from space
You know it's better off this way
It's better off
This is how it has to be
There's no problem if you hide your fear from me
This arrow's pointed straight at you
I'll shoot you down (nothing left)
All that you are (falls apart)
The life you give (burns away)
I'll shoot you down
I'll shoot you down
I do not own this song. All rights belong to the band "Hail The Sun".
The lyrics of the song "Orion" by Hail the Sun seem to depict a battle between two entities. The first entity seems to be in control, shooting the other entity down, reducing all that it is, and causing its life to burn away. The second entity is asking if it's necessary to be killed or burned by the first entity. The first entity also seems to have the ability to end the night with its light, but it's unclear what that means in the context of the song. Both entities seem to be aware of each other's power, with the second entity daring the first entity to try and end the fight.
The song seems to be abstract with its lyrics and open to multiple interpretations. The lyrics could be a metaphor for a relationship or a person's battle with their own demons.

I will bring you down and leave nothing in your wake
All that you are (falls apart)
Every aspect of you crumbles away under my power
The life you give (burns away)
Even your energy and vitality cannot withstand my onslaught
I'll shoot you down
I will not stop until I have completely destroyed you
I am the light that ends the night
I am the force that brings an end to the darkness and all that it represents
Do you really have to kill me?
Is it necessary for you to cause my demise?
Do you really have to kill me?
Am I truly a threat to you or are you acting out of fear?
Are you really going to burn us all?
Will you stop at nothing until everyone and everything is destroyed?
This is how it's meant to be
This is the natural course of events and cannot be changed
You've got problems if you're only fearing me
If I am the only thing you fear, then you have much bigger issues to deal with

My attack is directly aimed at you and there is no escaping it

Destroy everything and everyone at once, swiftly and without hesitation
Burn us all, burn us all, burn us all

You can try to fight back, but it won't matter in the end

The outcome is desirable and will benefit everyone in the long run
Blood spilt on this Earth
Can not be seen from space
The violence and destruction we cause is insignificant in the grand scheme of the universe
You know it's better off this way
It's better off
Deep down, you understand that this is the only way forward
There's no problem if you hide your fear from me
As long as you keep your fear concealed, there will be no issues between us
I'll shoot you down (nothing left)
All that you are (falls apart)
The life you give (burns away)
I'll shoot you down
I'll shoot you down
I will continue to attack and dismantle you until you are nothing but a memory
