Sun
Mar She & Dj T.H. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Separating souls entwined with all these labyrinthine lies
I am dead to you, a shadow doomed
My love, forever in the dark
And of all untruths the truest is you
Too close to my heart
Embracing memories of dreams long gone
One last caress from the corpse of love is all I want
Underneath the cyanide sun
We've sailed the seas of grief on a raft built with our tears
Looking for a way to disappear for a moment from our deepest fears
I'll be drowning you in this river of gloom
Forever in my heart
The lyrics of “Sun” by Mar She & Dj T.H. depict a tumultuous relationship filled with lies and pain. The first stanza speaks of the difficulty of stopping the two parties from “tearing each other apart.” The souls of the two parties are intertwined, but they are separated by the “labyrinthine lies” between them. The second stanza describes one party as “dead” and “doomed” due to the love that is “forever in the dark.” The singer sees their love as the “truest” of all the “untruths,” but it is also “too close to [their] heart.”
The third stanza begins with the singer saying they have made “emptiness” their home and now only embrace the memories of “dreams long gone.” The singer wants only “one last caress” from the “corpse of love” they once knew, and they sit beneath the “cyanide sun.” Cyanide is a toxic substance, and the use of this imagery may signify that the relationship is poisonous and detrimental.
Finally, the last stanza is about the two parties’ journey together. They have “sailed the seas of grief on a raft built with [their] tears,” attempting to “disappear” from their deepest fears. The singer declares that they will be “drowning” their partner in this river of “gloom,” which is a sad but clear portrayal of the suffering caused by the relationship’s lies and misfortunes. Overall, the song’s lyrics provide a poignant depiction of the struggle that comes with a relationship that has gone sour.
