Sunset
Magic Wand feat. Emma Carn Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
He says run beyond the trees
To take my heart
He cuts down every branch in the forest
He would dance just to keep me safe
At the sunset in the valley
I was in the dark alone
Nor knew the time or knew where to go,
Once upon a time
My heart was whole
And now that everything is broke
I don't know where to go
Until I know the grey
I thought I'd love to stay
But I couldn't be more wrong
At the sunset in the valley
I was in the dark alone
Nor knew the time or knew where to go,
Oh oh
The song "Sunset" by Magic Wand feat. Emma Carn tells the story of a woman who once knew a man who told her to run beyond the trees to take her heart. This man seemed to be protecting her and cutting down every branch in the forest just to keep her safe. The lyrics "at the sunset in the valley, I was in the dark alone, nor knew the time or where to go" suggest that despite his protections, the woman still felt lost and uncertain in her journey.
The song captures a sense of nostalgia for a time when the woman's heart was once whole, but now everything is broken, and she doesn't know where to go. The phrase "until I know the grey" highlights the idea that things were once black and white, but now she is left with uncertainty and confusion. The sunset represents the end of a journey, and the woman finds herself alone and lost in the darkness.
The song speaks to the universal experience of loss and confusion. Despite the man's protection, the woman still feels lost and uncertain. It highlights the idea that sometimes we are left to navigate life's challenges and uncertainties alone.

Once upon a time I knew a man
In the past, I was acquainted with a man
He says run beyond the trees
The man advised me to flee further into the woods
To take my heart
He asked me to give him my affection and devotion
He cuts down every branch in the forest
He cleared the entire forest just to protect me
He would dance just to keep me safe
He would perform to ensure I was safe from danger
At the sunset in the valley
During dusk in the valley
I was in the dark alone
I was alone in the darkness
Nor knew the time or knew where to go,
I had no notion of the time or my destination
Once upon a time
In a previous moment
My heart was whole
I was content and fulfilled emotionally
And now that everything is broke
Presently, everything is falling apart
I don't know where to go
I am at a loss as to where to proceed
Until I know the grey
Until I can comprehend the ambiguity
I thought I'd love to stay
I anticipated remaining there
But I couldn't be more wrong
However, my expectations were utterly misguided
At the sunset in the valley
During dusk in the valley
I was in the dark alone
I was isolated in the dark
Nor knew the time or knew where to go,
I had no timeline or destination in mind
Oh oh
An exclamation of despair and confusion

Ok, can we all agree we need part 2 of this song and video where these two hit it off and then live happily ever after <3

La escuché por primera vez en una radio alemana y me encantó.
Por cierto el toque vintage del Walkman en el vídeo es hermoso y nostálgico a la vez.
Saludos de Perú al mundo.

This is incredible to think that the artist did a one of a kind track like this one and no other else. It's his only track, and it's perfect ! Big Up Magic Wand
@MrDanDacicus

Emma Carn has a beautiful voice!
@roystendsa9071
Strange yet beautiful video. Two strangers having the same tastes and being so alike and when they finally meet they both think the other one is weird. Hilarious!
