Burning Sun
Helloween Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Dreams of spaceships, to raise him high
What's in his head's made of fantasies
Celestial bodies, all kinda stars
In a different time he'd fly, leave his petty life behind
Pass all planets, make his way through our galaxy and
A tangled mesh, insane, divine
Near infinite mighty source
Of a day not bound to end
Spends his days on a cloud it seems
Go and nudge him, ask what it's like
He'd smile and turn, as if tantalized
Concealing something, ain't there for real
His illusions make him see his wildest dreams come true
Quite the helmsman, his hands clenched on some steering wheel and
Gape in awe at the burning sun
A tangled mesh, insane, divine
Near infinite mighty source
Of a day not bound to end
Gape in awe at the burning sun
A tangled mesh, insane, divine
Near infinite mighty source
Of a day not bound to end
Gape in awe at the burning sun
A tangled mesh, insane, divine
Near infinite mighty source
Of a day not bound
A day not bound
A day not bound to end
The lyrics of "Burning Sun" by Helloween tell the story of a person who feels disillusioned with the world and dreams of escaping reality by travelling to outer space. The singer of the song shows a disdain for the world and everyday life, which he finds petty and unsatisfying. He yearns for a life of adventure among the stars, where he can explore celestial bodies and witness the infinite power of the burning sun.
The lyrics indicate that the character lives a life of fantasy, seemingly spending his days on a cloud and always concealing something from the people around him. He is fixated on the idea of flying through our galaxy, passing planets and navigating through space environments, all the while feeling humbled by the beauty and awe-inspiring presence of the burning sun.
Through these lyrics, Helloween explores themes of escapism and the power of imagination. The burning sun is portrayed as a mighty and divine source that represents the boundless possibilities of space exploration, and serves as a symbol of hope and inspiration for the person who sings the song.

Of a day not bound to end
The sun is a reliable source of light and heat that will not disappear anytime soon
Spends his days on a cloud it seems
He appears to be living in his own dream world
Go and nudge him, ask what it's like
One could try to ask him about his fantasy world
He'd smile and turn, as if tantalized
He would respond playfully but enigmatically
Concealing something, ain't there for real
He hides something, but it's not really there in reality
His illusions make him see his wildest dreams come true
His fantasies seem so real that he feels as if he's living them
Quite the helmsman, his hands clenched on some steering wheel and
He sees himself as a skilled pilot, in control of his imaginary spaceship
Of a day not bound to end
The sun is a powerful and constant force that will not stop shining
A day not bound
The sun's reign is limitless
A day not bound to end
The sun will continue to shine, always
