Sunset
Nothing More Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
Don't know where we're going til we drive past
Time on our hands, no need to drive fast
She's fast asleep in the backseat
It's just you and me, and chemistry
At sunset we'll drive west
Driving 55 toward the city lights
Only miles will pass us by
At sunset we'll drive west
Going 55, yeah we'll drive all night
We'll see the sea at sunrise
Daydreams of love and life
Embracing both as we pass them by
These desert skies, the color of our lives
Everything we need surrounds us
Whispers on the wind, the sun's kiss
And our love affair with the frivolous
The lyrics to Nothing More's song "Sunset" paint a picture of a couple who have packed their bags, fueled up their car, and hit the open road with no particular destination in mind. They seem to be reveling in their freedom and the possibilities that lie ahead. The pace is slow, and there's no need to rush. The woman is sleeping in the backseat, while the man is engrossed in a book about history. The only thing that matters at the moment is the chemistry between them, which is palpable.
As they drive into the sunset, they head west toward the city lights, but there's no hurry. They're content to let the miles pass by as they enjoy each other's company. They're in no rush to arrive at their destination. They'll drive at a leisurely pace all night, soaking in the sights and sounds of the world around them. When they reach their destination, they'll watch the sun rise over the sea, contemplating their daydreams about love and life.
The lyrics paint a vivid picture of two people who have found each other and the world around them. They're traveling in a world that is full of hope, potential, and love. The song is a reminder that sometimes it's the journey, not the destination, that matters.
