Single
J.Y. Park Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I close both locks below the window
I close both blinds and turn away
Sometimes solutions aren't so simple
Sometimes goodbye's the only way

And the sun will set for you
The sun will set for you
And the shadow of the day
Will embrace the world in grey
And the sun will set for you

Pink cards and flowers on your window
Your friends all plead for you to stay
Sometimes beginnings aren't so simple
Sometimes goodbye's the only way

And the sun will set for you
The sun will set for you
And the shadow of the day
Will embrace the world in grey
And the sun will set for you

And the shadow of the day
Will embrace the world in grey
And the sun will set for you

And the shadow of the day




Will embrace the world in grey
And the sun will set for you

Overall Meaning

The above lyrics are not actually from J.Y. Park's song Single, but rather from Linkin Park's song "Shadow of the Day." The lyrics discuss the difficulty of letting go and saying goodbye, even when it's necessary. The singer describes closing themselves off from the world, metaphorically lowering blinds and locking windows, when they know a difficult decision is about to be made.


The chorus speaks to the inevitability of change and loss - the sun will set for everyone, and the world will embrace the singers' decision in "grey." The "shadow of the day" suggests that everything is fleeting and temporary, and we must all learn to accept the difficult realities of life.
