Overall Meaning

The above lyrics in Lizzy Pattinson/Milk & Sugar All-Stars's song "Let the Sun Shine in" speaks about the state of humans and their actions towards the environment. The first verse speaks about the pollution and contamination that people endure walking around "wearing smells from laboratories" possibly referring to the polluted air. The "dying nation of moving paper fantasy" could signify the lack of action towards the environment and the lies people tell themselves to feel better about this. The second verse speaks about the uncertainty of life and how we must embrace it, "who knows what stands in front of our lives". The lines "I fashion my future on films in space, silence tells me secretly everything" could mean that we are influenced by depictions of life outside our world and must listen closely to what the universe is telling us.

The chorus sings "Let The Sun Shine in" which could mean embracing light and positivity, both literally and figuratively. This could be a message to take action and protect our earth as the sun is a major source of life, energy, and positivity. The line "answer for Timothy Leary, deary" references a famous psychologist known for his advocacy of LSD and other psychedelic drugs to expand consciousness.

Overall, "Let the Sun Shine in" seems to be a call to action to take care of our environment and embrace positivity and hope in our lives.
