Sun Gun Gum
Jupiter Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Woke up in the morning and the feeling was gone
Washed upon the rising sun
Across the city limits people try to move on
Inside we′ve wasted all the fun

And so we're
Melting under the sun
Melting under the stereo sun
Melting under the sun
Melting under the stereo sun

Muting all the echoes in the back of my head
Pulling myself out of my bed
Hate to say I told you so like everyone said
Now my skin is turning red

Because I′m
Melting under the sun
Melting under the stereo sun
Melting under the sun
Melting under the stereo sun

Melting another gun
Melting another stereo gun

Melting another gum
Melting another stereo gum

Closed my eyes a minute now the night's upon us
Shooting stars and blowing dust
The glowing moon's the only light I should never trust
Holding it up until dusk

We will be
Melting under the sun
Melting under the stereo sun
Melting under the sun
Melting under the stereo sun





Melting another gum
Melting another stereo gum

Overall Meaning

The song "Sun Gun Gum" by Jupiter talks about the fleeting nature of happiness and the feeling of emptiness that follows. The lyrics evoke a sense of disillusionment and a longing for something more. The singer wakes up in the morning feeling disconnected and washed out, as if the joy they once had has vanished. They observe people around them trying to move on, but inside they feel like they have wasted all the fun.


The chorus "Melting under the sun, melting under the stereo sun" suggests a feeling of melting away or losing oneself in the overwhelming heat of the sun and the numbing effect of the stereo. It's as if the singer is trying to escape from reality or drown out their thoughts and emotions. They mention muting the echoes in the back of their head, implying a desire to silence the voices that remind them of their own shortcomings.


As the song progresses, the lyrics take on a darker tone. The mention of "melting another gun, melting another stereo gun" could refer to the destructive habits or vices that the singer tries to numb themselves with. The repetition of "melting another gum, melting another stereo gum" could symbolize the futile attempts to find temporary relief or escape from their troubles.


The final verse introduces the night as a time of reflection. The shooting stars and blowing dust create a dream-like atmosphere, while the glowing moon becomes a symbol of deceit that the singer cannot trust. In this darkness, they hold onto the hope that things will get better and that they won't completely lose themselves.


Overall, "Sun Gun Gum" captures the sense of disillusionment, longing, and the search for meaning in a world that feels empty and disconnected.

Woke up in the morning and the feeling was gone. Washed upon the rising sun. Across the city limits people try to move on. Inside we’ve wasted all the fun. And so we’re....

Melting under the sun,
Melting under the stereo sun,
Melting under the sun,
Melting under the stereo sun.

Muting all the echoes in the back of my head ,
Pulling myself out of my bed,
I hate to say I told so like everyone said, now my skin is turning red, because I’m...

Melting under the sun,
Melting under the stereo sun,
Melting under the sun,
Melting under the stereo sun,

Melting another gun,
Melting another stereo gun,

Melting another gum,
Melting another the stereo gun,

Closed my eyes a minute now the night’s upon us,
Shooting stars and blowing dust,
The glowing moon’s the only light I should never trust,
Holding it up until dusk,We will be.....

Melting under the sun,
Melting under the stereo sun,
Melting under the sun,
Melting under the stereo sun,

Melting another gun,
Melting under the stereo gun,

Melting another gum,
Melting another stereo gum.
