Say It Like You See It
In Search Of Sun Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Did your father tell a myth a day?
Just so you never cross the line
But I know that you was sublime, spirits of the night
We are the possibilities in a world
That revolves on misinterpretations
Can you say it like a word?
Show 'em that you're staying true to what they don't believe in
Say it like you should,
Say it like you see it
Show 'em that you're staying true to what they don't believe in
We could slip away
Set sail for something that inventing it so divine, within the mind
If only we could just avoid the rain
About life is real and I know that you would stay for me
In a world that revolves on miscommunication, so
Can you say it like a word?
Say it like you see it
Show 'em that you're staying true to what they don't believe in
Say it like you should
Say it like you see it
Show 'em that you're staying true to what they don't believe in
Oh, I Forget your name if I'm late alone
In a place where I just can't come down
But I'd rather stay about myself and watch the world go round
Oh I'm flying so high
Oh I'm flying so high
Can you say it like a word?
Say it like you see it
Show 'em that you're staying true to what they don't believe in
Say it like you should
Say it like you see it
Show 'em that you're staying true to what they don't believe in
The lyrics to In Search Of Sun's "Say It Like You See It" speak to the desire to exist outside of the rigid constraints of societal norms and expectations. The opening line, "Manifest another life if this one should ever end," suggests a willingness to break free from the confines of one's current situation and pursue something new, something different. The second line, "Did your father tell a myth a day?" speaks to the influence of upbringing and the stories we are told, sometimes limiting our ability to see beyond what we are taught. "Just so you never cross the line, but I know that you was sublime, spirits of the night," acknowledges the possibility of greatness beyond the boundaries society sets, perhaps even tapping into the mystical ("spirits of the night").
The chorus, with its repeated insistence to "say it like you see it, show 'em that you're staying true to what they don't believe in," continues the theme of rejecting society's expectations and norms. Rather than suppress one's thoughts and feelings to conform, the song urges the listener to speak out and remain authentic, even if others don't understand or agree. The final verse, with its lines about forgetting one's name and watching the world go round, could suggest the desire to escape the pressures of society altogether and exist in a more solitary, self-sufficient way.

Manifest another life if this one should ever end
If this life were to end, create another one
Did your father tell a myth a day?
Did your father tell you stories every day?
Just so you never cross the line
To keep you from crossing the line
But I know that you was sublime, spirits of the night
You were amazing, like spirits of the night
We are the possibilities in a world
We represent the potential in a world
That revolves on misinterpretations
Which is based on misinterpretations
Can you say it like a word?
Can you express it clearly?
Say it like you see it
Express your views as you see them
Show 'em that you're staying true to what they don't believe in
Demonstrate your commitment to what others don't believe in
We could slip away
We could escape
Set sail for something that inventing it so divine, within the mind
Embark on a wonderful journey, created in the mind
If only we could just avoid the rain
If only we could avoid the problems
About life is real and I know that you would stay for me
Life is true and I know you'd be there for me
In a world that revolves on miscommunication, so
In a world where miscommunication is prevalent, so
Oh, I Forget your name if I'm late alone
Oh, I'd forget your name if I were left alone
In a place where I just can't come down
In a place where I can't relax
But I'd rather stay about myself and watch the world go round
But I'd prefer to be alone and watch the world go by
Oh I'm flying so high
Oh, I'm feeling ecstatic
Can you say it like a word?
Can you express it clearly?
Say it like you see it
Express your views as you see them
Show 'em that you're staying true to what they don't believe in
Demonstrate your commitment to what others don't believe in

Manifest another life if this one should ever end. Did your father tell a myth a day just so you'd never cross the line?
But I know that you want sublime spirits of the night for we are the possibility in a world that revolves on misinterpretation.
Can you say it like I would? Say it like you see it
Show them that you're staying true to what they don't believe in
Say it like you should, say it like you see it.
Show them that you're staying true to what they don't believe in.
We could slip away and set sail for something elevating and so divine, within the mind.
If only we could just avoid the rain, but life is real and I know that you would stay for me in a world that revolves on miscommunication.
So can you say it like I would? Say it like you see it
Show them that you're staying true to what they don't believe in
Say it like you should, say it like you see it.
Show them that you're staying true to what they don't believe in.
I forget your name if I lay too long in a place where I just can't come down.
But I'd rather stay all by myself and watch the world go round below me.
Oh I'm flying so high.
Can you say it like I would? Say it like you see it
Show them that you're staying true to what they don't believe in
Say it like you should, say it like you see it.
Show them that you're staying true to what they don't believe in.
