Sun
Iro Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Paint my thoughts
Let me go
Don't you see me I am here
Always about to disappear

paint a picture put it down
They're looking all around
I'm right there but never to be found

Let her leave let it breath
Sorry to have made you feel like
I was everything you wanted me to be

Do you really love
what is she?

Set the fire
Set the tone
paper burning on your throne
You wrote your name on sand I write yours on stone

It's Cold inside come out start warming in the sun, the sun
I tease my self with my hand on the gun

The sun x2
I tease my self with my hand on the gun
It's my turn I felt you stare

I can see the root of your tired hair
Gaps that pair no breaths to be spared
See the colors of your soul
Touch the secrets that you hold

truth that's never told
Dark is the heart of gold
Set the fire
Set the tone

paper burning on your throne
You wrote your name on sand,
It's Cold inside come out start warming in the sun, the sun
I tease my self with my hand on the gun
The sun x2
I tease my self with my hand on the gun
Take this beat at your feet




We'll walk on the walls no holding us back when
you let yourself go

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Iro's song Sun are deeply introspective and emotional, as the singer grapples with feelings of invisibility and the pressure to be everything someone else wants them to be. The opening lines of "Paint my thoughts/Let me go" suggest a desire to escape from one's own thoughts, as if they are overwhelming or suffocating. This is followed by the poignant plea "Don't you see me I am here/Always about to disappear," which speaks to a sense of being overlooked or ignored despite being present.


The theme of visibility continues throughout the song, with the repeated lines "paint a picture put it down/They're looking all around/I'm right there but never to be found." Here, the singer seems to be saying that they are present and visible, but others are not seeing them or recognizing their worth. This frustration is compounded by the following lines, "Let her leave let it breath/Sorry to have made you feel like/I was everything you wanted me to be," which suggest that the singer has been putting on a facade to please someone else, but is now ready to let it go.


The chorus of the song encourages the listener to "start warming in the sun" and "teases" them with the image of "my hand on the gun." This could be interpreted as a call to action, a plea to break free of the constraints that have been holding them back and take charge of their own lives. The final lines, "Take this beat at your feet/We'll walk on the walls no holding us back when/you let yourself go," reinforce this idea and encourage the listener to embrace their own power and freedom.


Line by Line Meaning

Paint my thoughts
Create a representation of what is going on inside me


Let me go
Allow me to escape from this situation


Don't you see me I am here
Can't you perceive that I exist and I am present right now


Always about to disappear
My existence is fragile and fleeting, and can vanish at any moment


Paint a picture put it down
Depict an image of reality


They're looking all around
People are aware of my presence but cannot locate me


I'm right here but never to be found
Although I exist, I am elusive and cannot be found


Let her leave let it breath
Allow her to go and free herself, give her space to breathe


Sorry to have made you feel like i was everything you wanted me to be
Apologizing for making you think I was something I am not


Do you really love what is she?
Questioning the authenticity of a relationship


Set the fire, Set the tone
Ignite a passion and establish the atmosphere


Paper burning on your throne
Even when you are in a position of power, it can all be reduced to ashes


You wrote your name on sand I write yours on stone
Your legacy fades away, while mine lasts forever


It's Cold inside come out start warming in the sun, the sun
There is a feeling of emptiness that we can escape from by basking in the warmth of the sun


I tease my self with my hand on the gun
Playing with danger and the possibility of self-destruction


It's my turn I felt you stare
I am now in control, and I sense your gaze upon me


I can see the root of your tired hair
I can see the signs of your exhaustion and weariness


Gaps that pair no breaths to be spared
Silences that are pregnant with meaning and significance


See the colors of your soul
Perceiving the essence of who you are on a deeper level


Touch the secrets that you hold
Reaching into the innermost parts of your being where your secrets lie


Truth that's never told
The reality that is kept hidden and unspoken


Dark is the heart of gold
Even something that appears valuable on the outside can be corrupted on the inside


Take this beat at your feet
Embrace the rhythm that is underneath you


We'll walk on the walls no holding us back when you let yourself go
Breaking free from constraints and experiencing freedom when you allow yourself to fully let go

[Verse 1]
Be my thoughts, let me go
Don't you see me? I am here
A wave's about to disappear
Paint a picture, put it down
Lookin' all around, I'm right there
But never to be found
Let her leave, let it breathe
Sorry to have made you feel
Like I was everything you wanted me to be
Do you really love what you see?

[Pre-Chorus]
Set the fire, set the tone
Paper burnin' on your throne
You wrote your name on sand
I write yours on stone
It's cold inside, cold, my star, lookin' at...

[Chorus]
The sun, sun
I tease myself with my hand on the gun
The sun, sun
I tease myself with my hand on the gun

[Verse 2]
It's my turn, I felt your stare
I can see the root of your tired hair
Gaps that pin, no recipe spared
See the colors of your soul
Touch the secrets that you hold
Truth is never told, dark is the heart of gold

[Pre-Chorus]
Set the fire, set the tone
Paper burnin' on your throne
You wrote your name on sand
It's cold inside, cold, my star, lookin' at...

[Chorus]
The sun, sun
I tease myself with my hand on the gun
The sun, sun
I tease myself with my hand on the gun

[Bridge]
Take this beat at your feet, we'll walk on the walls
No holdin' us back when you let yourself go
Take this beat at your feet, we'll walk on the walls
No holdin' us back when you let yourself go
Take this beat at your feet, we'll walk on the walls
No holdin' us back when you let yourself go
Take this beat at your feet, we'll walk on the walls
No holdin' us back when you let yourself go
Take this beat at your feet, we'll walk on the walls
No holdin' us back when you let yourself go
Take this beat at your feet, we'll walk on the walls
No holdin' us back when you let yourself go
Let yourself go
Let yourself go
Let yourself go

[Chorus]
Sun, sun
I tease myself with my hand on the gun (let yourself go)
The sun, sun
I tease myself with my hand on the gun (let yourself go)
Sun, sun
I tease myself with my hand on the gun (let yourself go)
The sun, sun
I tease myself with my hand on the gun (let yourself go)
