The Sun
Nicholas Jensen Stilborg Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

My truth and my reason
It doesn't matter
I've been thinking
My mind is not clear

I've been drunk for days now
It doesn't matter
I have no money
I don't really care

I look around at my earth
I look up at the sky and I realize

I'm on my way
To say that I'm sorry
I'm on my way
To redeem myself

I'm on my way
To say that I'm sorry
I'm on my way
To redeem myself

Well I can't breath here
It doesn't matter
Under this water
It all seems so clear

I can't stay here
It doesn't matter
I have found closure
And I'm about to share

I look around at my earth
I look up at the sky, and I realize

I'm on my way
To say that I'm sorry
I'm on my way
To redeem myself

I'm on my way
To say that I'm sorry
I'm on my way
To redeem myself

And in time you'll say you're sorry
By then I'll be no more
Arguments of different learning
Life is so much more

I'm on my way
To say that I'm sorry
I'm on my way
To redeem myself

I'm on my way
To say that I'm sorry




I'm on my way
To redeem myself

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Nicholas Jensen Stilborg's song The Sun describe a person who is lost in their own thoughts and trying to find a sense of purpose. The first two lines, "My truth and my reason, It doesn't matter," suggest that the person is contemplating the value of their own beliefs and rationality, and ultimately believes that it isn't important to their current state of mind. The person is struggling to find clarity in their thoughts and is possibly inebriated, as they state "I've been drunk for days now."


Despite their lack of money and indifference, the person is compelled to make amends for something they've done wrong. They repeat the line "I'm on my way to say that I'm sorry, I'm on my way to redeem myself" several times throughout the song, emphasizing their desire for redemption. The person's surroundings play a significant role in their introspection - they "look around at my earth" and "look up at the sky" - suggesting that they are attempting to ground themselves and find meaning in the world around them.


In the bridge, the person seems to reflect on the inevitability of death and the futility of arguments or debates. The line "And in time you'll say you're sorry, by then I'll be no more" suggests that they are coming to terms with their own mortality and the insignificance of disagreements in the grand scheme of things.


Overall, The Sun explores themes of self-reflection, redemption, and the search for purpose in life. The repeating chorus reinforces the person's desire to make things right and find a sense of meaning in their actions.
