Forging a broad spectrum of influences, Maxthor take irresistible echoes of eighties giants like Phil Collins, Billy Idol and Survivor and filter them through their own lens of synth driven futurist-nostalgia.
Don't Fear the Sun
Maxthor Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sometimes I feel this black hole inside
Sometimes I leave and you take me wrong
Sometimes you find the place where I hide
Walk away
Take the blow
Turn around and say it was my fault
Don't fear the sun
Been here forever
Don't fear the sun
You'll get to know
Don't fear the sun
Been here forever
Don't fear the sun
And let me go
Sometimes I dream the nightmare is over
Sometimes I see there's blood in your eyes
Sometimes I stay and you take me wrong
Sometimes you heal my heart with your lies
The first verse of Maxthor's "Don't Fear the Sun" speaks to the fear of the unknown, the fear of death and the fear of being misunderstood. The line "Sometimes I feel the end's coming closer" could refer to the end of life, but also represents an ending in any situation, such as the end of a relationship or a job. The line "Sometimes I feel this black hole inside" refers to the emptiness that comes with feeling lost, alone and hopeless. The black hole could represent depression or anxiety, which then leads to feeling vulnerable and hiding oneself away.
The chorus "Don't fear the sun, been here forever" is a reminder that there is always light, there is always hope, and that no matter how bad things may seem, the sun will always rise. The line "You'll get to know" implies that with time, we will learn to embrace the sun and all that it represents. The repetition of "Been here forever" implies that the sun has been there through everything, and will continue to shine regardless of what happens in this world.
The second verse continues this theme of fear with the lyrics "Sometimes I dream the nightmare is over" and "Sometimes I see there's blood in your eyes". This could represent the fear of waking up and realizing that nothing has changed or the fear of someone being angry, dangerous or abusive. The line "Sometimes you heal my heart with your lies" implies that sometimes it is easier to believe in the good than to face the truth. The final line "And let me go" could represent the idea of letting go of the past, letting go of the hurt and moving forward.
