SUNRISE
Plans for Revenge Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I fell away with a torch and match and a knife
in the wake of your words so loud in the light

cover your mouth... cover your eyes
hold your breath and let it go with arms raised to the sky
I've watched you die and now it's too late in light of the mentioned

sunrise and I can't let you out of my sight

I've passed up the trees and I'll climb to the sky
I've got your blood on my sleeves and I'm holding the knife





it's too late: it's over now

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Plans for Revenge's song "Sunrise" possess an eerie and dark nature as they describe a sense of vengeance and violence towards someone who has hurt the singer. The opening line, "I fell away with a torch and match and a knife," seems to suggest that the singer's plan for revenge has been premeditated and well thought-out. The following line, "in the wake of your words so loud in the light," implies that the motive for revenge has been caused by something the addressee said or did loudly, possibly in a public forum.


The chorus of the song, "cover your mouth... cover your eyes, hold your breath and let it go with arms raised to the sky," could indicate a form of self-expression or release for the singer, possibly related to the punishment he/she wants to inflict on the addressee. The later lines in the chorus, "I've watched you die and now it's too late in light of the mentioned sunrise, and I can't let you out of my sight," reinforce the sense of vengeance and the inability to forgive or forget.


The lines "I've passed up the trees and I'll climb to the sky, I've got your blood on my sleeves and I'm holding the knife" make it apparent that the singer has located the addressee and is in the process of carrying out his/her plans for revenge. Finally, the line "it's too late: it's over now" implies that the singer has completed his/her plan, and the addressee can no longer escape.
