The Sunlight
New Build Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The sunlight is not bright enough today
And the night is not dark enough
To hide my fears away

The sunlight isn't bright enough today
And the night is not dark enough
To hide my fears away
The sunlight isn't bright enough today
And the night is not dark enough
To hide my fears away

The sun

The sunlight isn't bright enough today




And the night is not dark enough
To hide my fears away

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to New Build's song "The Sunlight" convey a sense of internal turmoil and the struggle to find a sense of emotional safety. The repeated refrain of "The sunlight isn't bright enough today" and "The night is not dark enough" suggests a feeling of being caught in between two extremes, unable to find a balance or a way out of one's own fears. The repetition of these lines also creates a mood of suffocation and claustrophobia, as if the singer is trapped in a situation they can't escape.


The final line, "To hide my fears away," highlights the main conflict of the song: the desire to escape from one's own anxieties and find a sense of peace. The use of sunlight and darkness as metaphors for emotional states further emphasizes the sense of struggle and tension in the lyrics. The song evokes a feeling of being stuck in a cycle of fear and uncertainty, unable to break free and find a way forward.


Overall, "The Sunlight" is a song that speaks to the human experience of grappling with inner fears and searching for a sense of safety and comfort. Its repetitive and atmospheric soundscapes contribute to the sense of emotional intensity and turmoil conveyed by the lyrics.
