Big Sun Explosion
Maybird Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I saw a sight to see flying away from me
A wall of mirrors projecting it's disappearance
Poor vision and poor health, what do you tell yourself?
Objects appear a little more clear when they're nearer
I finally lifted my eyelids to see light
And when they were open, I saw the big sun explosion
The buildings tower high, the birds swim through the sky
The iris full color, the day just like any other




Overall Meaning

In Maybird's song "Big Sun Explosion," the singer describes a moment where he saw something truly remarkable. He saw a sight that was flying away from him, but it was a wall of mirrors projecting its disappearance. This could be interpreted as the singer witnessing the distortion and disintegration of reality, as if the world was crumbling around him. The second line of the song seems to suggest that the singer has some personal struggles that affect his ability to perceive reality. Perhaps his "poor vision and poor health" make it difficult for him to trust what he sees.


Despite his struggles, the singer finally lifts his eyelids to see the light. This could be a metaphorical interpretation of the singer finally coming to terms with his struggles and seeing the world more clearly. The big sun explosion that he sees could be interpreted in different ways. It could be a literal explosion, a metaphor for a revelation, or a reference to a psychedelic experience. The buildings that tower high and the birds that swim through the sky seem to suggest a disconnect between reality and what he sees. Despite his confusion, he notes that the day is just like any other - suggesting that life goes on regardless of what we see and feel.

I saw a sight to see flying away from me
I witnessed something incredible moving away from me


A wall of mirrors projecting it's disappearance
There were mirrors reflecting the thing disappearing


Poor vision and poor health, what do you tell yourself?
When you have poor vision and health, what do you convince yourself of?


Objects appear a little more clear when they're nearer
Things become clearer as they approach you


I finally lifted my eyelids to see light
I opened my eyes to behold light


And when they were open, I saw the big sun explosion
Upon opening my eyes, I saw a massive explosion from the sun


The buildings tower high, the birds swim through the sky
Tall buildings coexist with birds soaring in the sky


The iris full color, the day just like any other
The iris is vibrant, but otherwise, it's a typical day
