Let It Rain
Milk Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We starve, look at one another short of breath
Walking proudly in our winter coats
Wearing smells from laboratories
Facing a dying nation of moving paper fantasy
Listening for the new told lies
With supreme visions of lonely tunes
Somewhere, inside something , there is a rush of greatness
Who knows what stands in front of our lives
I fashion my future on films in space
Silence tells me secretly ev'rything, ev'rything
Singing my space songs on a spiderweb star
"Life is around you and in you"
Answer for Timothy Leary, deary

Let the sun shine
Let The sunshine in
The sun shine in

Let the sun shine
Let The sunshine in
The sun shine in

Let the sun shine
Let The sunshine in
The sun shine in

Let the sun shine




Let The sunshine in
The sun shine in

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Let The Sunshine In" by MILK SUGAR paint a bleak picture of modern society, with people "starv[ing]" and "short of breath." The references to "winter coats" and "smells from laboratories" suggest a cold, artificial environment, while the mention of a "dying nation of moving paper fantasy" implies a world that has lost touch with reality. Against this backdrop, the song calls for a ray of hope and optimism - a "rush of greatness" that is waiting to be unleashed.


The line "I fashion my future on films in space" suggests a yearning for something beyond the mundane world, for a more exciting and adventurous life. The idea that "Silence tells me secretly ev'rything, ev'rything" implies that there is wisdom to be gained from stillness and contemplation, that we need to learn to listen to ourselves and to the world around us. Finally, the reference to Timothy Leary - an American psychologist and countercultural icon - suggests that the song is rooted in the spirit of the 1960s, with its emphasis on peace, love, and psychedelic experimentation.


All in all, "Let The Sunshine In" is a song that speaks to the human desire for connection and transcendence, in a world that can often feel cold and alienating. Through its message of hope and renewal, the song encourages us to look beyond our current circumstances and find the light that is always waiting to shine.
