In the Sun
Kings Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

SUN IN THE SEA,
DARKNESS BLEEDS,
OUT OF A WOMB,
YOU'LL NEVER BE ANYBODY,
EVERYBODY'S LOOKING FOR THE LIGHT, THAT DON'T SHINE.
HUNGOVER, UNSOBER, MISTREATED BY A BROTHER,
SLIT HER THROAT NOW KNOW ONE LOVES HER,
CAN'T REINSTATE IT, I'LL UNCRE-HATE IT.
SUN IN THE SEA, THE SUN NO LONGER RISES,




SHAPE-SHIFTERS ARE HIDING, SECRETS OF THE SERPENTS,
REVEALED TO BE IN VERSES.

Overall Meaning

In the lyrics of King's song "In the Sun," there is a juxtaposition between themes of light and darkness, birth and death, and individuality versus the desire to be seen and recognized. The opening lines, "Sun in the sea, darkness bleeds, out of a womb, you'll never be anybody," suggest a contrast between the natural beauty and brightness of the sun with the darkness that emerges from the depths of existence. The mention of the womb and the phrase "you'll never be anybody" could signify a sense of insignificance or feeling small in the grand scheme of things.


The following line, "everybody's looking for the light that don't shine," points towards a yearning for something elusive, perhaps a metaphorical light that can bring clarity or purpose. The lyrics then take a darker turn, with the reference to being mistreated by a brother and the violent image of someone's throat being slit. This sudden shift in tone adds layers of complexity to the song, suggesting a struggle with personal relationships and the consequences of such mistreatment.


The final lines of the verse, "Sun in the sea, the sun no longer rises, shape-shifters are hiding, secrets of the serpents, revealed to be in verses," evoke a sense of disillusionment and loss. The imagery of the sun no longer rising could represent a loss of hope or the absence of something once cherished. The reference to shape-shifters hiding suggests the presence of deceit or hidden agendas, while the mention of serpents alludes to deception and temptation. Ultimately, the song delves into the vulnerability of human existence and the search for meaning and authenticity in a world full of darkness and illusion.

In The Sun Lyrics :

VERSE 1

Call up the broskie, with plenty of smokey
Hit up the facey, then hit up the homies
Call up the bros whose responsible low key
Cause I had way to many beers now
Girls is nearly here now
I don't mean to stare now
Well yeah I do but I don't even care now
So cheers now, rollin with the top down yeah uh huh, no fear nah uh
Rollin with the Aux cord yeah uh huh
Rollin with a hot broad yeah uh huh
The beach is looking real fine yeah uh huh
And my bitch is looking real fine yeah uh huh

BRIDGE

We keep it lit until we choke, then we smoke a lil more
And we keep swiggin till no more, till there's no more

CHORUS

While we chillin in the sun
While we smoke a lil some
And we drink a lil some, until we done

VERSE 2

Call up the family and ask em what's happenin
BBQ at granny's I'm already happy
She always ask if I won me my Grammy
I tell her nah, but I got the best Grammy yeah
The kids is running, there's too many of em
Like who was that my niece, Newphew or cousin
As long as daddy bought the beers now, catching up on old times, growing every year now, seem like every year now we just growing older, living out a broken dream, we collapse from hauling boulders, but the top ain't what it seem

BRIDGE

CHORUS
