Southern Sun
Oakenfold feat. Carla Werner Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I release
Once was mine
Now undone
Turned blue
Like New Orleans
And went down like
A southern sun
I still feel you
Beneath my skin
I am tempted
To throw my senses in
Cause it's easier to fly
Than to face another day
In Southern Sun
And your love is all around
Piece by piece
I release
Once was mine
Now undone
Turned blue like New Orleans
And went down like
A southern sun
I still feel you
Beneath my skin
I am tempted
To throw my senses in
Cause it's easier to fly
Than to face another day
In Southern Sun
And your love is all around
And in the air to set me free
Set me free
You last like a sun
I'm deflated
I am pieces on the wind
Unrelated
I still feel you
Beneath my skin
I am tempted
To throw my senses in
Cause it's easier to fly
Than to face another day
In southern sun
And your love is all around
In the air to set me free
Cause it's easier to fly
And in the air to set me free
The lyrics in Oakenfold feat. Carla Werner's song, "Southern Sun," evoke a sense of loss, longing, and redemption. The piece speaks of someone who has lost something that once belonged to them, piece by piece. The singer paints a vivid picture of a once thriving city turned blue (like New Orleans), and how it went down like a Southern sun. This image helps to heighten the sense of loss and despair felt by those who have lost everything.
However, the story also highlights that the love that once belonged to them still remains all around. It still resides deep within their skin, tempting them to throw their senses in. In the end, the lyrics speak of the singer's struggle to hold on to their memories while trying to move on. It is easier to fly than to face another day in the Southern sun. The song speaks of the healing power of time and love, where the air is meant to set you free.

Piece by piece
Gradually and slowly over time
I release
I let go
Once was mine
I used to possess
Now undone
Now broken apart
Turned blue like New Orleans
Suffering and depressed like the city after Hurricane Katrina
And went down like a southern sun
Faded away like a sunset in the southern states
I still feel you
I still remember your presence
Beneath my skin
Deep down within me
I am tempted
I am inclined to
To throw my senses in
To lose myself completely in my feelings
Cause it's easier to fly
It's easier to escape and avoid reality
Than to face another day
Than to confront the challenges of another day
In Southern Sun
In the intense, hot southern climate
And your love is all around
I feel the presence of your love everywhere
You last like a sun
Your memory endures like the light of the sun
I'm deflated
I am feeling depressed
I am pieces on the wind
I am scattered and lost
Unrelated
Disconnected and without purpose
And in the air to set me free
And I feel liberated in the open air
Set me free
Liberate me from my pain and suffering

Piece by piece
I release
Once was mine
Now undone
Turned blue
Like New Orleans
And went down like
A southern sun
I still feel you
Beneath my skin
I am tempted
To throw my senses in
Cause it's easier to fly
Than to face another day
In Southern Sun
And your love is all around
Piece by piece
I release
Once was mine
Now undone
Turned blue like New Orleans
And went down like
A southern sun
I still feel you
Beneath my skin
I am tempted
To throw my senses in
Cause it's easier to fly
Than to face another day
In Southern Sun
And your love is all around
And in the air to set me free
Set me free
You last like a sun
I'm deflated
I am pieces on the wind
Unrelated
I still feel you
Beneath my skin
I am tempted
To throw my senses in
Cause it's easier to fly
Than to face another day
In southern sun
And your love is all around
In the air to set me free
Cause it's easier to fly
And in the air to set me free

I was in high school when I listened to it at full volume in my parents' car on the way to school. Years later, I hear it on the cockpit speakers of one of the planes of which I am a Pilot, before taking off or when we land and shut down systems. This song is still epic. Good and bad memories, but after all, they will last forever. Now I keep hearing it a little higher up, I hear it at 30,000 feet up.

I salute you pilot 🤚

Я услышал этот трек в 2000 году примерно в плеере диске. Прошло 23 года, а слышу как в первый раз. Мурашки по коже, не только у меня, а кто слышет этот божественный трек. Это искусство музыкального произведения!
