Tears Of The Sun
Operatika Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Fearful beating heart you hear
Wants to find the wings to fly
Hiding in the dark of night
Wait for early morning light
Shining through the velvet sky
As I wonder through this night
Let all else, come undone -
Melted by the morning sun
Heal the wounds, the scars and pain
Leave your fears in the rain
To awake from endless sleep
Let the hot and scorching flame
Destroy evil nightmare's aim
It can never ever keep!
Carry me, be my guide
As I wake up from this night
Let all else, come undone -
Washed with tears of morning sun
Carry me, be my guide
As I wonder through this night
Let all else, come undone -
Melted by the morning sun
Carry me, be my guide
As I wake up from this night
Let all else, come undone -
Washed with tears of morning sun
The lyrics of Operatika's song Tears Of The Sun express the desire to overcome fear and find freedom.

However, the singer of the song wants to find the wings to fly and escape from the darkness that surrounds her/him. The early morning light that shines through the velvet sky symbolizes hope and a new beginning.
The chorus of the song calls for someone to carry the singer and be her/his guide through the night. The idea is to leave behind all fears and troubles that keep her/him in the depths of despair, and let them melt away with the morning sun's warmth. The singer wants to heal the wounds, scars, and pains that have accumulated over time and awake from an endless sleep. The hot and scorching flames represent the burning desire to destroy evil nightmare's aim and conquer the demons that hold her/him captive.
The final chorus emphasizes the urgency of the singer's desire to find a way out of the darkness. The image of being washed with tears of the morning sun implies a sense of emotional release and cleansing, freeing the singer from the emotional baggage and weight that has been burdening her/him. Ultimately, Tears Of The Sun is a powerful song about overcoming fear, embracing hope, and finding freedom.
