sunrise
Jennifer Damiano Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
when i close my eyes
I can feel the morning
and i know the dawn is coming
as a kid you have a dream
and it seems like nothin
can come between what you dream
You train, prepare but when the moments there will you rise up with your eyes up can you conquer all your fears and we will fight for peace without compromising I feel the city rising, last night was surprising, and after so long away i have dreamed of today
You look at me like i looked at her
when i was a chiled my eyes were wide
I used to hang on to every word
when they look at me now that i see her.
In Jennifer Damiano's song Sunrise, she talks about the feeling of hope that comes with every new day. She starts by saying that she can see the sunrise even when she closes her eyes, indicating that she has a deep sense of awareness and positivity that allows her to perceive good things even in the midst of darkness. She goes on to describe how she feels the morning and knows that the dawn is coming, which is a metaphor for the idea that even when things are bad, there is always a new beginning waiting just around the corner.
The song takes on a more personal note as Jennifer talks about her childhood dreams and how it seemed impossible to achieve them. She says that, as a child, you have a dream that feels unattainable because of the many obstacles that come between what you dream and what you're stuck in. However, she encourages herself and others by acknowledging that with effort and determination, anyone can rise up and conquer their fears. She talks about the importance of fighting for peace without compromising and how she feels the city rising up because of the efforts of people who share that same goal.
The final verse of the song is a bit more cryptic, but it seems to be a reflection on the power of love and how it can change our perspective on life. Jennifer says that someone is looking at her the way she used to look at another person when she was a child. She talks about how her eyes used to be wide with wonder and how she used to hang on every word of the person she was looking at. The song ends with a sense of hopefulness, as Jennifer seems to suggest that by keeping the spirit of her childhood alive, she can still find joy and fulfillment in her life.
