Isobel Campbell & Mark Lanegan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Forgot to cover up my eyes
Sunrise
Should've covered up my eyes
Beauty wasted on me
Winds are shakin' my tree
With a woman too good, to believe
Take the first ride out that I see
Sunrise
Skies are servin' my plan
Grounds are movin' where I stand
Pull an airplane down
With my hand
And take the first flight out that I can
Sunrise
Forgot to cover up my eyes
Beauty wasted on me
Winds are movin' my trees
With a woman too good, to believe
Take the first ride out that I see
Sunrise
The lyrics of Isobel Campbell & Mark Lanegan's song "Sunrise" depict a sense of regret and desperation that comes when you realize you missed out on something important. The title itself, "Sunrise," implies a sense of new beginnings and fresh starts, but the lyrics reveal a person who didn't fully appreciate what was in front of them. The first two lines establish the idea of regret, as the singer "forgot to cover up [their] eyes" and "should've covered up [their] eyes," indicating that they didn't want to see what was coming. But despite this, they acknowledge the beauty that surrounds them, saying that it's "wasted on [them]."
The next few lines speak to a feeling of being stuck or trapped, as the "winds are shakin'" their tree and they feel like they're with a woman "too good to believe." But despite this, the singer is still determined to take action and make changes, saying they'll take "the first ride out that [they] see" and that the "skies are servin' [their] plan." The final lines repeat the beginning, showing that the singer still feels regret for not seeing what was in front of them.
Overall, "Sunrise" is a song about missed opportunities and the desire to make things right. The lyrics are poetic and abstract, but convey a strong sense of emotion.
Line by Line Meaning
Sunrise
The start of a new day
Forgot to cover up my eyes
I didn't prepare myself for what's ahead
Sunrise
The dawn is a reminder of my negligence
Should've covered up my eyes
I should have guarded myself from what's to come
Beauty wasted on me
The world's wonders are lost on me
Winds are shakin' my tree
Life's turbulence is challenging me
With a woman too good, to believe
I am undeserving of the love I receive
Take the first ride out that I see
I need to escape my current situation
Sunrise
The morning's light exposes my mistakes
Skies are servin' my plan
The world is aligning with my desires
Grounds are movin' where I stand
My foundation is shifting
Pull an airplane down with my hand
I want to exert control over my life
And take the first flight out that I can
I want to leave my troubles behind
Winds are movin' my trees
Life's challenges continue to sway me

Sunrise
Isobel Campbell & Mark Lanegan
Produced by Isobel Campbell Album: Hawk
Sunrise, whisper in my ear
Say the words I long to hear
Oh, oh, oh
Sunrise, later when it’s hot
Even when it’s not
Oh, oh, oh
At sunrise
Sunrise, sent the angels prayer
You were standing there
Oh, oh, oh
Sunrise, call my name out loud
Choose me from the crowd
Oh, oh, oh
At sunrise
Too much pain, too much pressure
And why must I have to wait so long
For the one that I treasure
Tomorrow that’s when I’ll be gone
Sunrise, catch a falling star
Wonder where you are
Oh, oh, oh
Sunrise, whilst the desert sleeps
Lonesome willow weeps
Oh, oh, oh
At sunrise
