Love Like a Sunset Part I
Phoenix Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

it comes
a visible horizon
right where it starts and ends
oh, and then we start the end

it comes
a visible illusion
oh, where it starts and ends
love like a sunset





Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Phoenix's song Love Like a Sunset Part II are quite minimalist, and they are meant to evoke a mood rather than tell a story. The song opens with the phrase "it comes" repeated twice, which sets the tone for the rest of the track. The listener is invited to imagine something that is both distant and imminent, something that is about to happen but has not yet fully materialized. The next line, "a visible horizon," reinforces this idea of an event that is both present and looming.


As the song progresses, the lyrics become more cryptic. The phrase "right where it starts and ends" is repeated twice, suggesting that whatever is coming is cyclical in nature. The lines "oh, and then we start the end" and "a visible illusion" further underscore the idea that the event being described is both real and ephemeral.


Overall, Love Like a Sunset Part II is a dreamy, atmospheric track that leaves much to the listener's imagination. It's a song that is more about feeling than meaning, and it invites the listener on a journey through a landscape of shifting emotions and fleeting images.

Time flies by so fast. I used to listen to this song while I started dating my now wife. I am now listening to this while looking at our baby in my arms . I can't help but be overwhelmed at how I changed myself over time (some for the good,some for the bad). This song acts as a sensory memory check point of sorts for me. It just takes me back to those rainy days where me and my partner made memories for life and those dreams we concocted about out future. It helps remind me of the person I set out to be and how far my progress has been . This song holds a dear place in my heart.

That's the song I listen to every time I'm taking off on a plane. Best way to begin a trip.

i used to listen to this on my own, in my jeep, on those hot Saturdays and on old faded roads. Memories...when life was all ahead of me and my future was something to be discovered.
