The Sun
LIVING ROOM - Portugal. The Man Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Flow about and sink in little bitty bits
Where I know, I know myself where floors were found
Shores were shaping doors
Stretch for miles and mile and miles
I know, I know myself
And everyone hidden from the sun
Where I know, I know myself
And if you love everybody
Then I wonder, shall you be saved?
And I'm thinking, when will we be found?
I need you, sunshine this rains a pourin'
Please ,please, please, please, please
Cry down and out film reflecting that reflection
Send me a car, I know these feet can't take it no more
I'll take my time, I don't worry that old man no more
He's a worry for lights that splash 'bout my eyes running around
Shy, naked and whispering found but listening
The lyrics of "The Sun" by Portugal. The Man are about sharing the beauty and positivity of life with others. The sun is a symbol of warmth, light, and energy, and the singer encourages the listener to appreciate and share it with others. The opening line "share with me the sun" is an invitation to experience the beauty of life together, and not to forget that it belongs to everyone. The singer reminds the listener that they are not the only one who can enjoy the sun, and that there is enough warmth and light for everyone.
The second stanza talks about the struggles and tiredness that may come along with life, but the singer encourages the listener to embrace it, and to not fight against it. The line "throw your money in the Gulf of Mexico" is a sarcastic nod to the 2010 BP oil spill, and can be interpreted as a criticism of corporate greed and disregard for the environment. The singer then assures the listener that in the end, everything will glow, meaning that all hardships and struggles will bring warmth and light in the end.
The final stanza talks about the balance between work and play, and how both are important. The line "I feel the shape of things to come" can be interpreted as having a sense of purpose and direction in life, and the idea that everything will come together in the end. The song ends with a reminder that time is fleeting, and that it is important to appreciate and share the sun while we can.

Share with me the sun
Let's enjoy the sunshine together
You forget sometimes it's yours
Sometimes we forget that we have the right to enjoy the small things in life
Can't you see, you're not the only one?
There are others who also deserve happiness and sunshine
The doors all lead outside
Our surroundings can offer us a lot of opportunities for adventure and enjoyment
Feel it soak into your mind
Let the sun's warmth and light penetrate your thoughts and feelings
Can't you see, you're not the only one?
We are all connected and should strive for collective happiness
Well, my head, it gets so tired
Sometimes we get exhausted from overthinking or working too hard
No need to cry, no need to fight it
Don't stress out or exhaust yourself over things that are out of your control
Throw your money in the Gulf of Mexico
Money won't buy happiness or solve all your problems
In the end, in the end, it all will glow
Things will work out in the end and we will find happiness
It's just, the time it takes me so, oh, oh
Sometimes it takes time to reach happiness and contentment
I know these hands may work away
We may work hard but we should also make time to enjoy life
Don't mean I find no time for play
We should make time for leisure and fun
I feel the shape of things to come
We can sense what the future holds for us
In the end, in the end, it's why we run
We chase after happiness and fulfillment in life
From the east, to the west, as we become one
We all share the same desire for happiness and unity
In the end, time may take me
We are all mortal and will pass on eventually
In the end, time will take you too
Everyone will eventually experience the passage of time and its effects
In the end, time may take me
Our time on earth is limited

If you look real high you just might find
Sitting in the stars, glistening, glistening
Waiting for the band to come
Just waiting for that man to come
Oh, I wonder
Slip on down from that sun to climb
Down to earth and down to things like time
Because we are all, we are all just lovers
Born of earth and light like all these others
If you're talking to the moon
The moon might sing about the universe
Shouting out "I don't need, I don't need time"
I breathe in time
Where, where are we now?
Where, where are we now?
Slip on down from that sun to climb
Down to earth and down to things like time
Because we are all, we are all just lovers
Born of earth and light like all these others
If you're looking for the river just find the mouth
It's grinding like gnashing teeth foaming out, foaming out
Mixing up the hell to come
Just mixing up the hell to come
And it's fixing up to swallow me whole
It's fixing up to swallow me whole
It's fixing up to swallow my soul
Fixing up to swallow me whole
Slip on down from that sun to climb
Down to earth and down to things like time
Because we are all, we are all just lovers
Born of earth and light like all these others
Where, where are we now?
Where, where are we now?
Where, where are we now?
Where, where are we now?

My brother and I saw Portugal play like 12 years ago in a burger restaurant in San Antonio. I'm so happy for them that they have made it big. They deserve it.
