Stunner
Milky Chance/MusicFire.in Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

She was a stunner
Riding high and I got low
Rank and others
Couldn't see what she was worth
On the party
Behind the sunrise in the meadow
Month of July

I was a runner
Running high without a stop
Sticking to the
Imaginable spire-spot
On the party
Behind the sunrise in the meadow
Month of July

Come, come
We go up to church
And ring the bell of happiness
We go so far and we
End up in richest poverty
Go up to church
And ring the bell of happiness
And we end up
In richest poverty

She was a stunner
Riding high and I got low
Rank and others
Couldn't see what she was worth
On the party
Behind the sunrise in the meadow
Month of July

I was a runner
Running high without a stop
Sticking to the
Imaginable spire-spot
On the party
Behind the sunrise in the meadow
Month of July

Come, come
We go up to church
And ring the bell of happiness
We go so far and we
End up in richest poverty
Go up to church
And ring the bell of happiness
And we end up
In richest poverty

Come, come
We go up to church
And ring the bell of happiness
We go so far and we
End up in richest poverty
Go up to church
And ring the bell of happiness
And we end up
In richest poverty

I was a runner
Running high without a stop
Sticking to the
Imaginable spire-spot
On the party
Behind the sunrise in the meadow
Month of July

Come, come
We go up to church
And ring the bell of happiness
We go so far and we
End up in richest poverty
Go up to church
And ring the bell of happiness
And we end up
In richest poverty

Come, come
We go up to church
And ring the bell of happiness
We go so far and we
End up in richest poverty
Go up to church
And ring the bell of happiness
And we end up
In richest poverty

Go up to church
Ring the bell of happiness
And end up
In richest poverty, mhm, yeah
End up
End up

Richest poverty
Goodbye

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Milky Chance's song Stunner describe a relationship between two people who are opposites in some ways but have a deep connection. The woman is described as a stunner, riding high and impressive to those around her, while the man is a runner, constantly moving and not settling down. Despite their differences, they share a moment of happiness and connection, going up to church and ringing the bell of happiness. However, this happiness is short-lived as they inevitably end up in "richest poverty" - possibly describing a sense of emotional or spiritual emptiness.

The use of contrasting imagery throughout the song adds to the sense of the two characters being different but complementary. The woman is described as being "behind the sunrise" in the meadow - a place of beauty and calm - while the man is "sticking to the imaginable spire-spot" - a high point that is difficult to attain. The repeated chorus of "Come, come / We go up to church / And ring the bell of happiness" emphasizes the fleeting nature of their happiness and the sense that they are searching for something that they can't quite reach.

Overall, Stunner is a melancholic yet hopeful song that explores the complexities of human relationships and the search for happiness.
