Sun Ray
Luminous Orange Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Slower than day dream
It's much brighter than hope
Quiet as your sleep
How can i describe
How quick the sence fill me,you know?
How can we share the views
Of our world a leaf cut your hand
Faster than sunray
Slower than day dream
It's much brighter than hope
Quiet as your sleep
How can i describe
How bright the flame flares inside of me
You flare in me,and i found
The transience of your flame
Clarity of your pain
How many winters have we been through
How many summers will we get trough
Trust me when i say you're soothing me
Something in your words leave me a pain
I close my eyes,nothing i can see
But i see your flame
Shimmering in the dark
Flaming awaking evoking filling my mind
The lyrics to Luminous Orange's "Sun Ray" are a poetic depiction of the intensity of emotion and experience that can be felt in a single moment. The imagery is vivid, contrasting the speed of a sunray with the slow pace of a daydream, and emphasizing the brightness of hope that is "much brighter" than anything else. The singer struggles to find the words to describe this overwhelming feeling, asking "how can I describe / how quick the sense fill me?" and recognizing that it is "hard to touch the wound" of a leaf that has cut their hand.
The second verse shifts to a more personal tone, as the singer addresses someone else directly. They reflect on the passage of time ("how many winters have we been through / how many summers will we get through") and express gratitude for the comfort that this person brings ("trust me when I say you're soothing me"). However, the singer also acknowledges that something about this relationship is painful ("something in your words leave me a pain"), though they find solace in the "flame" of the other person's presence.
Overall, the lyrics of "Sun Ray" capture a moment of intense emotion and connection, touching on themes of hope, pain, and gratitude. The poetic language and vivid imagery make the song feel both specific and universal, inviting the listener to reflect on their own experiences of intensity and connection.
