Under The Sun
Orleya Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Shock myself again
Cross my name off the list
I don't belong

Why would you depend
On a voice that can only do you wrong?
I don't want to be alone
I'll be over there
Under the sun
That yellow moon
Is cold and it holds no comfort there
No room to hide your cares

Fell asleep again
Dreamt myself as a cloud
That never rains

Why would you depend
On a heart that can only bring you pain?
I don't want to be around

I'll be over there
Under the sun
That yellow moon
Is cold and it holds no comfort there
No room to hide your cares

You fell into a steady sleep
Awoke alone and out of reach
To stumble over who you were
Then told your story in reverse

You fell into a steady sleep
Awoke alone and out of reach




To stumble over who you were
A horror story underneath the sun

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Orleya's song Under the Sun are introspective and contemplative. The opening lines of "shock myself again, cross my name off the list, I don't belong" convey the feeling of not fitting in or feeling out of place. This idea is followed with the question of why one would depend on a voice or a heart that can only do them wrong or bring them pain. The desire to not be alone or to be around something that brings comfort is juxtaposed with the idea of a moon that is cold and holds no comfort.


The following verses reinforce the theme of introspection and contemplation, with the dream-like state of being a cloud that never rains and the symbolism of stumbling over who you were and telling your story in reverse. The chorus repeats the idea of being under the sun and the comfort it brings, but also acknowledges that there is no room to hide cares.


Overall, the lyrics suggest a struggle with self-acceptance and finding comfort in one's own identity. The use of the sun and moon as symbols of comfort and discomfort adds to the introspective nature of the song and reinforces the idea that finding one's place in the world can be a difficult journey.

Shock myself again
I am surprised and disturbed by my actions once more


Cross my name off the list
I am removing myself from consideration or involvement


I don't belong
I do not fit in or feel accepted in this place or situation


Why would you depend
What is the reason for relying on


On a voice that can only do you wrong?
Why would you trust or listen to something that will harm you?


I don't want to be alone
I desire companionship and do not want to be by myself


I'll be over there
I will move to a different location


Under the sun
It will be in a sunny and bright area


That yellow moon
The moon that appears yellow in color


Is cold and it holds no comfort there
The moon is not a warm or welcoming environment


No room to hide your cares
There is nowhere to conceal or escape from your worries and problems


Fell asleep again
I have dozed off once again


Dreamt myself as a cloud
I imagined myself as a fluffy mass of water droplets in the sky


That never rains
The cloud does not release any precipitation


On a heart that can only bring you pain?
Why would you have faith in something that will only cause you suffering?


I don't want to be around
I do not wish to be in the vicinity or company of others


You fell into a steady sleep
You drifted off into a consistent and peaceful slumber


Awoke alone and out of reach
You opened your eyes and found yourself by yourself and unable to connect with others


To stumble over who you were
You struggled to come to terms with your past self


Then told your story in reverse
You recounted your history backwards


A horror story underneath the sun
Your life narrative appears dreadful or alarming in the light of day
