SUNRISE
Lonesome Animals Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Open up
Your dark heart
Sing to me
What we were

Dry your eyes
With sunrise
There you are
Here no more

Forgive me
Forgive me

Yield your way (?)
Sweet abade (?)
Worn and sad (?)
Soon shall sing (?)

Forgive me
Forgive me




Forgive me
Forgive me

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Sunrise" by Lonesome Animals are open to interpretation, but one possible meaning is that they describe a person who is longing for someone who has moved on from their life. The first lines, "Open up your dark heart, sing to me what we were," suggest that the singer wants the other person to reveal their true feelings and memories of their relationship. The next two lines, "Dry your eyes with sunrise, there you are here no more," imply that the person has left, but the singer is still holding onto the memory of them. The use of the word "sunrise" could be a metaphor for a new beginning or a chance to move on from the past.


The next few lines are more enigmatic. "Yield your way, sweet abade, worn and sad, soon shall sing" are difficult to decipher, but they could be interpreted as the singer pleading with the other person to let go of their sorrow and to find happiness again. The repetition of "forgive me" at the end of each verse suggests that the singer is apologizing for something, although it's not clear what.


Overall, "Sunrise" by Lonesome Animals is a melancholic and wistful song that explores themes of loss, longing, and forgiveness. It uses poetic language and imagery to convey a sense of depth and emotion, and the sparse instrumentation highlights the introspective nature of the lyrics.
