Box Around the Sun
MisterWives Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Trying to keep up
I saw no signs of anyone
Box built around the Sun
I thought to sleep the day away
But trees were as dark as the night's weight
How did you hear the drop of my tear
You chase all the fear
You were there for the waking
My soul was sleeping
You woke me, shaking every piece of me
You took me under
Eyes wide to you with wonder
Built me a heartstrong
Carry me on
We find light down any road we take
Feet never seem to break
Unable to feel unstable
And you carry me all the way
I take comfort in your eyes
Keep me feeling safe all the days
Oh whoa, oh whoa
Your presence gives me joy alone
Never do I face the world alone
You were there for the waking
My soul was sleeping
You woke me, shaking every piece of me
You took me under
Eyes wide to you with wonder
Built me a heartstrong
Carry me
On and on and on
On and on and on
On and on and on
On and on and on and on and on
And on and on
On and on and on
On and on and on
On and on and on
Put away the days
When home was what I chased
When love had no space to live
This world we built
Is long past filled
My hands cannot hold on to a shield
My hands cannot hold on to a shield, shield
Hands cannot hold on to a shield, shield
Opened up what I had sealed, sealed
Opened up what I had sealed, sealed
You were there for the waking
My soul was sleeping
You woke me, shaking every piece of me
You took me under
Eyes wide to you with wonder
Built me a heartstrong
Carry me
On and on and on
On and on and on
On and on and on
On and on and on and on and on
And on and on
On and on and on
On and on and on
On and on and on

I was just barely holding on
I was struggling to keep going
Trying to keep up
I was attempting to match the pace of everything around me
I saw no signs of anyone
I felt like I was completely alone
Box built around the Sun
It felt like my world was constrained and I couldn't see past my problems
I thought to sleep the day away
I wanted to avoid dealing with everything that was overwhelming me
But trees were as dark as the night's weight
Even the beauty of the natural world felt oppressive to me
How did you hear the drop of my tear
I was surprised that someone was able to understand my pain and feelings even when I wasn't expressing them outwardly
You chase all the fear
Your presence is comforting and helps to alleviate my anxiety
We find light down any road we take
Despite the challenges we may face, there is always hope to be found
Feet never seem to break
We may be tired, but we can keep moving forward
Unable to feel unstable
We can maintain our balance and stability even in difficult situations
And you carry me all the way
Your support helps me through everything
I take comfort in your eyes
I find solace and reassurance in looking at you
Keep me feeling safe all the days

Oh whoa, oh whoa
Interjection with no specific meaning
Your presence gives me joy alone
Just being near you makes me happy
Never do I face the world alone
I know I always have you by my side
Put away the days
We are moving past the struggles of the past
When home was what I chased
I was constantly searching for a sense of belonging and comfort
When love had no space to live
My heart was hardened and I didn't feel like there was any room for love in my life
This world we built
We have created a life together
Is long past filled
We have accomplished so much and our lives are full
My hands cannot hold on to a shield
I am not able to defend myself on my own
Opened up what I had sealed
I have opened up my heart to you and allowed you in
You were there for the waking
You were there to help me when I needed it most
My soul was sleeping
I was disconnected from my emotions and wasn't truly living
You woke me, shaking every piece of me
You helped me come alive and experience everything fully
Built me a heartstrong
With your support, I am able to be emotionally resilient
Carry me
Continue to help me and be there for me
On and on and on
Continuing indefinitely
On and on and on and on and on
Continuing indefinitely, emphasizing its duration
And on and on
Continuing indefinitely

Yo apenas estaba sosteniendo
Tratando de mantenerme
No vi señales de nadie
Caja construida alrededor del Sol
Pensé dormir el día
Pero los sueños Estaban tan oscuras como el peso de la noche
¿Cómo oíste la gota de mi lágrima
Tú persigues todo el miedo
Estuviste allí para el despertar
Mi alma estaba Durmiendo
Usted me despertó, sacudiendo cada pedazo de mí
Usted me tomó debajo de
Ojos anchos a usted con maravilla
Construyó un corazón fuerte
Llévame en
Encontramos la luz por cualquier camino que tomemos
Los pies nunca parecen romperse
No se puede sentir inestable
Y me llevas todo el camino
Me consuelo en Tus maneras
Me mantienes seguro todos los días
Oh whoa, tu presencia me da alegría solo
Nunca enfrento el mundo solo
Estuviste ahí para el
Mi alma estaba durmiendo
Usted me despertó, sacudiendo cada pedazo de mí
Usted me tomó bajo
Ojos de par en par a usted con la maravilla
Construido me un corazón fuerte < Br /> Llévame
Y una y otra
Una y otra
Una y otra
Una y otra y otra y otra y otra <
Una y otra vez
Una y otra vez
Una y otra vez
Una y otra vez
Guarda el polvo
Cuando el hogar es lo que yo perseguía
Cuando el amor no tenía espacio para vivir
Este mundo que construimos
Es largo pasado lleno
Mis manos no pueden aferrarse a un escudo
Mi Las manos no pueden sujetarse a un escudo, escudo
Las manos no pueden sujetarse a un escudo, escudo
Abrir lo que había sellado, sellado
Abrir lo que había sellado, sellado
Estabas ahí para el despertar
Mi alma estaba durmiendo
Me despertaste, sacudiendo cada pedazo de mi
Tú me quitaste
Ojos abiertos a ti con maravilla < Br /> Me construyó un corazón fuerte
Llévame
Y una y otra
Una y otra
Una y otra
On Y en y en y en y sobre y en
Y una y otra
Una y otra y otra
Una y otra y otra
Una y otra y otra ¡Bienvenido!

J.G. Charles
+dalal aradi I agree. Although, there is only one single song I don't like. I can't remember what it is, but I love literally every other song from Misterwives.

It's been a while since I haven't listened to MisterWives but I heard this song in a shop in Tokyo recently! Feels so good to come back to good vibes like these <3
Anna Torcha

'Amira apostropheA
Well, this album sounds perfect. MisterWives, you are my new favourite band.
josue betancourt
Yeah with Reflections EP they had their on style, with This album the seem to be trying to get popular, maybe when they do they go back do their style
linglingjr
From a technical sound point, it sounds horrible. It's the brick walling "sausage wave form" mastering and overproduced/over edited beat makes it sound like everyother pop song ever made in the past 10 years. I remember when their facebook page had 400 likes and I'm sure this will accelerate their popularity but its longevity is decreased ten fold when it sounds like everything else.
Zylum
One does not simply skip a misterwives song on their playlist :x
Sebastian Bohorquez
I love EVERY song on the album but I think this has to be my favorite
