Arthur Nix
Jupiter Sunrise Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

We're wondering what you're thinking, Arthur Nix
'Cause ever since you rode your bike into that car, and were quickly
Whisked away by ambulance, you've been so pensive and quiet
Did your arm heal faster than your heart did, Arthur?

Oh, if we had the power to trap anything that could hurt
A human being inside a jar we'd send it far from Earth and watch
It explode in the sun to the cheers of everyone

But, alas, that can't be done

So, Arthur Nix, we came to fix your bicycle
Heavy things sure can come outa nowhere
But when it's finished, we could take it for a ride
You might need it to outrun what's on your mind

That cast you've got on your arm's full of names
But when the doctors take it off you'll sure be glad
And in camp you'll play Four-Square everyday
Just remember to remember it can still be just as fun as yesterday

Heavy things can come out of nowhere - out of thin air - sometimes.

Overall Meaning

These are the opening lyrics to Jupiter Sunrise's song "Arthur Nix" that paint a poignant picture of a person who is grappling with an emotional turmoil. Arthur Nix is a character who was involved in a bicycle accident and was taken away in an ambulance. Since the accident, he has become unusually quiet and lost in thought. The lyrics suggest that maybe he is suffering from a broken heart, and his physical injuries have healed faster than his emotional wounds. The song's tone is empathetic, and the lyrics seem to suggest that the singer and the others around Arthur care about him and want to be supportive. The idea that heavy things can come out of nowhere is a recurring theme throughout the song, symbolizing that sometimes events in our lives have unexpected consequences that can be challenging to cope with.

As the lyrics continue, the song takes an imaginative turn, suggesting that if only we could trap things that hurt us in a jar, we could blast them away into space to be destroyed in the sun, and everyone would cheer. This utopian idea is a metaphor for the fact that sometimes in life, pain and problems don't have easy solutions, and we wish we could make them disappear. The song then returns to Arthur Nix, as the singer offers to help fix his bicycle and take him for a ride. The idea is that a physical activity like riding a bike could help him to clear his head and forget his troubles. All in all, "Arthur Nix" is a song that explores the complexities of human emotions and the struggles we all face in dealing with life's challenges.
