The Sun
Leonardo Ringo Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

You are the fire
Burn down my cotton field
Harvest of no choices
You are the storm
Blew down my home
Leave them to pieces

But also.

You are the sun
You blind my eyes
Give a little burn mark

But also.
You are the sun
And i'm attached to one
Just a little day sick

You are the lizard
Crawls on my apple tree
You scared away the flees
You are those flowers

Grow wildly on my fences
My backyard masterpiece

Overall Meaning

Leonardo Ringo's song The Sun is a poetic expression of the multifaceted nature of a relationship. The lyrics describe different personas that the subject of the song embodies, from destroying cotton fields and homes, to illuminating eyes and creating a sense of attachment. The fire and the storm are symbols of destruction, as they burn and blow down structures leaving them in disarray. Still, there's an interesting twist in the persona when the singer describes the subject as the sun. The sun can be blinding, just as love can be overwhelming, but it is also the source of light and warmth that sustains life. The singer acknowledges the duality of their love, being both the source of hurt and attachment.

The middle section of the song describes the subject as a "lizard" that crawls on an apple tree and drives away fleas. This could signify the same source of pain that the subject brings but couched in a gentler description. The subject is also described as "those flowers that grow wildly on my fences," which is a symbol of beauty and natural growth. The reference to the "backyard masterpiece" further emphasizes the beauty and creative nature of the relationship, despite the turbulent nature.
