The Sun
Pony the Pirate Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

One two four three I hit the wall
I could not feel good at all
Now just go away
My life is in your way

I don't know where to go
I feel all alone
Now just go away
My life is in your way

You love to live love to have free will
Hey! La lala lala
(The boy is dead)
Now get away

You love to live love to have free will
Hey! La lala lala
(The boy is dead)
Now go

One two four three I hit the wall
I could not feel good at all
Now just go away
My life is in your way

You love to live love to have free will
Hey! La lala lala
(The boy is dead)
Now get away

You love to live love to have free will
Hey! La lala lala
(The boy is dead)
The boy is dead

*Interlude*

Get away
Get away
The boy is dead now, the boy
The boy is dead now, the boy
Now get away
The boy is dead now

The boy is dead now, the boy




The boy is dead now, the boy
The boy is dead

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Pony the Pirate's song "The Sun" appear to be about someone who has hit rock bottom and is feeling alone and defeated. The first verse starts off with the singer saying "One two four three I hit the wall", which could be interpreted as hitting rock bottom. They then express that they "could not feel good at all" and tell whoever they are singing to just "go away" because their "life is in your way". It's not clear who exactly they're addressing, but it could be someone who has been holding them back or causing them pain.


The chorus comes in with a more upbeat tempo and the singer repeats the lines "You love to live love to have free will, hey! La lala lala, the boy is dead. Now get away". This could be interpreted as the singer telling whoever they were addressing in the first verse that they were holding them back and not allowing them to live freely or truly be themselves. The line "The boy is dead" could be interpreted as a metaphor for leaving an old version of themselves behind and becoming someone new. The repetition of "get away" at the end of the chorus reinforces the theme of wanting to be free from whatever was holding them back.


The second verse is similar to the first, with the singer expressing their confusion and sense of loneliness. They don't know where to go and feel all alone, hence the repeated line "Now just go away, my life is in your way". The chorus repeats twice again, with the singer trying to break free and live their life on their own terms.


Overall, "The Sun" seems to be a song about perseverance and finding the strength to break free from whatever is holding you back. The repeated line "Get away" and the upbeat tempo of the chorus are meant to inspire the listener to take control of their own life and pursue their own goals.
