Force My Sunshine
Piecemeal Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The lyrics of Piecemeal's song "Force My Sunshine" appear to be a meditation on the darker aspects of desire and the struggle between light and darkness. The reference to "forcing" sunshine suggests a desire to impose a positive, optimistic outlook on life, while the phrase "bled out into your sky" evokes a sense of draining, of something being lost or given up. This sense of sacrifice is echoed in the lines "choking on your favor, dying in stifled breathe," which suggest a sense of suffocation or being overwhelmed by someone else's expectations or wishes.
The idea of "a vast universe of rotting secrets" suggests a deeper, underlying darkness, and the reference to a "sad decaying heart" reinforces this sense of decay and decline. The line "haunted by the rhythm of life dancing" suggests that even in the midst of decay and darkness, life goes on, and this fact can be haunting or unsettling. The image of a "cold naked god" implies a sense of exposure or vulnerability, stripped of illusions or pretense. Finally, the reference to "the translucent circle of ghostly trust" implies a sense of betrayal or loss of faith, as trust becomes poisoned by the changes that occur in life.
Line by Line Meaning
Force my sunshine.
Compel my happiness upon you, regardless of your wishes.
Bled out into your sky.
My outward display of joy contaminates your world.
That celebrates the dark embrace of desire.
My happiness is derived from indulging in taboo desires.
Choking on your favor.
I am suffocated by your kindness.
Dying in stifled breathe.
I am slowly losing myself and suffocating under the weight of societal expectations.
Not at peace with this lethargic entity.
I am not content with this uninspired existence.
Drinking from a vast universe of rotting secrets,
I am consuming hidden and decaying truths.
That can only devour a sad decaying heart.
These secrets only bring ruin to a weakened and suffering soul.
Haunted.
Tormented by my own thoughts and actions.
Haunted by the rhythm of life dancing.
I am plagued by the cyclical and inevitable nature of existence.
In the eyes of a cold naked god.
In the face of a seemingly uncaring and indifferent universe.
Free of porcelain smiles.
Without the façade of artificial happiness.
Curse the light.
Retreat from happiness and positivity.
The translucent circle of ghostly trust.
The fragile and insubstantial bond of trust between individuals.
Changes perfume to poison.
Even the sweetest and most innocent things can turn sour and harmful.
