Sun For Someone
Oscar Jerome Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The sun will always come for someone
But it doesn′t shine for everyone
And it doesn't come on time
The sun will always come for someone
The sun will always come for someone
But it doesn′t shine for everyone
A melancholy evidence
Oh, happily berate their ignorance
The earth will sigh as it watches us die
Along with our belligerence
Someone's screaming trouble while in the paradox
No, no, no time to bless your cotton socks
A mind thick with soot
I′m pulling blessings out your throat with a fishing hook
′Cause lately I've been finding blood in the bathroom basin
The sun will always come for someone
The sun will always come for someone
But it doesn′t shine for everyone
And it doesn't come on time
Ferocious lie
Uh, the sky turned black
It was the middle of the day by the time my hair turned grey
And my mind lost track
I′ve been working night and day while in the paradox
Thanking God for the Goldie Locks
I breathe deep, cry long, scream loud
Searching for sanction on a stormy cloud
'Cause there′s a tornado in my teacup and it's shaking, yeah
Rectify
I told you once now I'm telling you twice
Porky-porky pies
The lies upon lies upon lies upon lies
Recti-rectify
I told you once, now I′m telling you twice now
Porky-porky pies
The lyrics to Oscar Jerome's song "Sun" convey a sense of hope and despair, interwoven with metaphors and allusions to the world that we inhabit. The song starts with a striking revelation that the sun will always come for someone, but it doesn't shine for everyone, and it doesn't come on time. This line suggests that the world has an unequal distribution of resources despite its bounty and that good things come to those who are lucky enough to receive them. The second verse paints a bleak picture of the world in which we live, where people are ignorant, and the earth is slowly dying due to humanity's belligerence towards it.
The chorus repeats, emphasizing the idea that the sun doesn't shine for everyone and doesn't come on time, and it is followed by a bridge that is full of poetic allusions. The third verse starts with the phrase "ferocious lie," signifying the contrast between the truth and the deceit that the world is full of. The verse reflects ambiguity and confusion, where the singer is working tirelessly to make sense of the world. The last verse attempts to make sense of the chaos in the previous verses, with an appeal to the truth and a cry for understanding. The song seems to suggest that although the sun may not shine for everyone, one can try to find some peace amid the chaos of this world.

This is such a beautiful song. When I was a kid in about 1967 there came a band called Osibisa. This song reminded me of their vibe from so long ago. Thank you for this, OJ.
Manon Booyens
Wow, this song has my whole heart 💕 The music, the choreography, the way the dancers move and feel the music 👌
Angela
I agree
