(Alright)
(Alright)
There′s nothing to be scared of
Letting you be, let's get off
Show them how you play
Make a beat away
Show them heart, show them quickly
Show them how you belong to be
Show them heart, show them quickly
Show them how
You people have some trouble
This passing year, make it a double
You're a bit of a fool now
You're not feeling ruled
You ain′t gonna break down under the crown
Show them heart, show them quickly
Show them how you belong to be
Show them heart, show them quickly
Show them how
You′re the right son of a sun
You're a mountain, full of glory
Down into this world
You′re the right son of a sun
You're a mountain, full of heaven
Down into this world
You′re the right son of a sun
You're a mountain, full of heaven
Down into this world
You′re the right son of a sun
Down into this world
Down-down-down where I feel sure
Sunny is your kind of living
Same old shit kind of playing
Fall into the crowd
Feel them around
You ain't gonna break down under the crown
Show them heart, show them quickly
Show them how you belong to be
Show them heart, show them quickly
Show them how
Freedom is the mojo
You need to follow
Nobody can't tell in which
Box you will go
Tricky is your mind
But you feel alright
You ain′t gonna break down under the crown
Show them heart, show them quickly
Show them how you belong to be
Show them heart, show them quickly
Show them how
You′re the right son of a sun
You're a mountain, full of glory
Down into this world
You′re the right son of a sun
You're a mountain, full of heaven
Down into this world
You′re the right son of a sun
You're a mountain, full of heaven
Down into this world
You′re the right son of a sun
Down into this world
Down-down-down where I feel sure
You're the son of a sun (Get up)
You're the son of a sun (Get up)
You′re the son of a sun (Get up)

Down into this world
You′re the right son of a sun
You′re a mountain, full of heaven
Down into this world
You're the right son of a sun
Down into this world
Down-down-down where I feel sure
The verses of Jain's "Son of a Sun" talk about being yourself and standing out in a world where conformity is the norm. The opening lines assure that there's nothing to be afraid of when it comes to being true to oneself, and the need to express oneself freely is emphasized. The song's chorus highlights the importance of showing one's heart and belonging to be yourself, without any fear of breaking down under the crown, which may refer to societal pressures. Jain uses poetic imagery to describe one's spirit as being as powerful as sunlight, stating that "You're the right son of a sun" and "You're a mountain, full of glory".
The lyrics also use a lot of wordplay, such as "You're a bit of a fool now, You're not feeling ruled," and "Tricky is your mind, But you feel alright." They suggest that it's not easy to break free from conformity, and it can be challenging to navigate through this world, but one must not be afraid to be different.
Overall, the song's message is one of empowerment and individuality, encouraging people to break free from societal norms and embrace their uniqueness.

Cette chanson est une merveille, même plus de 3 ans après sa sortie, je pense qu'elle reste ma préférée de Jain, elle est mystique, lumineuse, originale, et tout ce qui va avec. Je me rappelle l'avoir entendue pour la première fois en concert, l'ambience était juste magique, c'est presque comme si on avait l'impression de ne plus être sur Terre. Juste dommage qu'elle ne soit pas plus mise en avant...

C'est fantastique, sérieux. Ce que j'aime chez Jain, c'est que y'a plein de bruit, de musique, qui se mélange. Elle nous emmène dans un univers terriblement merveilleux. Essayez de décortiquer les différents sons, c'est super, vous verrez!

- Je suis assez d'accord. Une des choses qui font son charme (et son succès), c'est le bon équilibre qu'elle a su trouver entre instruments/voix/effets sonores, un peu comme l'avaient fait les Beatles en leur temps (qui sont d'ailleurs comme elle l'a reconnu un de ses groupes de référence). Elle a bon goût la petite...
