Children of the Sun
Lindemann Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Dressed in sparks and light
Showered in dazzling white
We are the childrens of the sun
The nightfall is about to come
The sky turns red
A frightful sign
So we run
We're running out of time

Because
We live only one day
We only live one day
We are in heaven but we can't stay
We live only one day

Daylight counting hours
Worshipped by the flowers
Related to mars and moon
But the night is coming soon

The sky turns red
A frightful sign
So we run
We're running out of time

Because
We live only one day
We only live one day
We are in heaven but we can't stay
We live only one day

And when we die
No place to stay
We are in heaven anyway
We have to go
The sky's in flames
We're going down in purple rain
Purple rain..

We live only one day
We only live one day
We are in heaven but we can't stay
We live only one day
And when we die

No place to stay
We are in heaven anyway




And after all the night arrives
Darkness comes and eats us alive

Overall Meaning

The opening lines of Lindemann's song "Children of the Sun" refer to a group of people who are dressed in sparks and light, showered in dazzling white, and referred to as the children of the sun. The lyrics suggest that this group of people is running out of time, as evidenced by the sky turning red, which they see as a frightful sign, and their subsequent decision to run away. They are aware that they live only one day and that despite their heaven-like milieu, they must eventually leave. While the daylight is counting hours and surrounded by flowers, the night is coming, which is signified by the sky turning red.


The song draws attention to the fleeting nature of existence, again highlighting the importance of cherishing every moment. The children of the sun are in heaven, but they must leave, as they only have one day to live. Passing references are also made to the moon and Mars, suggesting the connection between the human race and celestial bodies.


In summary, "Children of the Sun" is a poignant reminder to prioritize and savor every moment of life. The song emphasizes that, in the grand scheme of things, our existence is fleeting and time is precious.
