Love Like a Sunset Pt. 1
Phoenix Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It comes
A visible horizon
Right where it starts it 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

Phoenix's Love Like a Sunset Pt. 1 features minimal lyrics accompanied by atmospheric instrumentation that creates a meditative, almost dreamlike quality. The opening lines, "It comes, a visible horizon, right where it starts it ends," suggest the cyclical nature of life and the inevitability of change. The lyrics imply that everything must come to an end eventually, whether it's a relationship, a phase of life, or even life itself. The "visible illusion" may refer to the fleeting nature of everything we experience in life.


The phrase "love like a sunset" is repeated throughout the song, serving as both the song's title and its primary lyrical theme. The connection between love and a sunset is elusive and open to interpretation. The sunset could represent the ephemeral nature of beauty or the fleeting nature of love itself. The interpretation is left to the listener's personal experience and emotions. The music's tempo and the rising and falling synths also capture the fleeting nature of love, suggesting that it is like a sunset – it comes, it peaks, and then fades away.


Line by Line Meaning

It comes
Love, like a sunset, arrives unexpectedly


A visible horizon
Love is apparent and something that can be seen on the horizon


Right where it starts it ends
Love can begin and end at the same point


Oh, and then we start the end
The beginning of the end of love is a difficult and emotional experience


A visible illusion
Love can be deceptive and not always what it appears to be


Oh, where it starts and ends
Love can be both the beginning and the end of an experience


Love like a sunset
Love can be beautiful and fleeting like a sunset
