Rising Sun
Mitchell Moffit Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A black existence, blackened me.
Skim the ripple, feel the breeze,
Nature's art outlasts.
The free millenium, the cherished and the scum,
The conscience of the mind in space, that you and i become.
The wonders of the world, are dots in space untwirled,
Float from the distant shore,
Through uncharted realms before,
The moment is here and you'll see it, see it.
Float from the distant shore,
The moment is here and you'll see it, see it.
Soft rising sun,
Never answer to anyone,
Painted light, the day's begun,
To a nation of minds unwon.
Gotta run away,
Gotta run, gotta run,
Gotta run away,
Gotta run away,
Gotta run, gotta run,
Gotta run away,
The lyrics of Mitchell Moffit's song Rising Sun seem to describe an experience of standing at the edge of the sea, observing its beauty and realizing one's own insignificance in the grand scheme of things. The first stanza paints the image of the vast ocean, with its dark and overwhelming presence that is overwhelming the singer. The second stanza talks about the contrast between the free and the enslaved in society, and how we all share a common consciousness, boundless and unmeasurable like the universe. The wonders of the world, which seem so significant, are but tiny dots in the vastness of space, and yet, they are priceless, just like complex eyes.
The chorus talks about the beauty of the sunrise, which is a natural event that does not care about anyone's expectations or opinions. It is a pure moment of beauty, which begins the day, and is available for all to witness. The last line of the chorus, to a nation of minds unwon, seems to suggest the difficulty of finding unity in a society of disparate minds and opinions. The final stanza repeats the phrase 'gotta run away' multiple times, which could be interpreted as a desire to escape the chaos of society, or an urge to explore the vastness of the universe.

Soft rising sun,
The sun gently ascending into the sky.
Never answer to anyone,
It operates solely on its own accord and is not accountable to anyone.
Painted light, the day's begun,
The sun's light paints a new day.

Gotta run, gotta run,
I need to move quickly and not waste time.
Gotta run away,
I must go immediately and without hesitation.

If the sun disappeared - what on earth would 'a month' even mean ?
@aperfectday736
We use the Kavanaugh calendar.
@Tharkz
A month has it’s origins in the lunar phase... and clocks still work.
@Craznar
Yeah - we call that a lunar month, a month as used by us today is a solar month.

Christopher Burke If earth is flat, why are humans like this 🧑🏼, and not like this 🥩
@keriezy
Based on the two minutes of darkness I experienced during the total solar eclipse it would be really freaking cold! As soon as the sun was half covered the temperature was falling and it got chilly fast.
