They have the heart of at least 10 champion bull fighters. And these boys play hard, like a rock, which is rather appropriate because they're a rock band. Not so unlike a finely aged wine, it's clear that they just keep getting better with age.
SUNRISE
Reckless Serenade Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But it turned out that I did not
I watched them float around the room like pretty strangers
And I caught your fiery stare
I was shaken but I wasn't scared
I was warm but I remember sensing danger
She said let's leave this town
I'd feel lighter and younger again
I would feel all my aching bones mend
If we opened our eyes
Took in this starry night
We would realize there's still so much time
Till sunrise
She heard the words that I left out
She said I don't believe in doubts
That there is beauty in the facing of our fears
But I felt a broken heart
Beneath the talk of this new start
She said to live for every day of every year
She said let's leave this town
If we leave it right now
I'd feel lighter and younger again
I would feel all my aching bones mend
If we opened our eyes
Took in this starry night
We would realize there's still so much time
Till sunrise
Take my weathered heart for all it's worth
Tear it down to pieces just to see if it still works
And when are you done with the remnants please just throw them to sea
I will thank you for the mercy
Take my weathered heart for all it's worth
Tear it down to pieces just to see if it still works
And when are you done with the remnants please just throw them to sea
I will thank you for the mercy
She said let's leave this town
If leave it right now
I'd feel lighter and younger again
I would feel all my aching bones mend
If we opened our eyes
Took in this starry night
We would realize there's still so much time
Till sunrise
The song “Sunrise” by Reckless Serenade explores the theme of uncertainty and taking risks in life. The lyrics depict a scenario where the singer faces doubts about their thoughts and decisions. The verses employ the use of vivid imagery to describe the confusion and mixed emotions of the singer. He observes his thoughts float around the room like beautiful strangers and catches a fiery stare from someone that makes him feel on edge. The chorus of the song takes on a more optimistic and hopeful tone, with a second person encouraging the singer to take a chance and leave their town. They believe that if they open their eyes and take in the starry night, they will realize there is still time until sunrise. The reference to sunrise can represent the idea of new beginnings and starting over.
The second verse sees the two characters discussing their fears and doubts, with the second person urging the first to face them with bravery as there is beauty in overcoming them. The first person, however, seems to have a broken heart and is, therefore, more cautious about taking risks. The bridge of the song sees the singer offering their heart to someone, willing to let them tear it down to pieces just to see if it still works. The song ends on a hopeful note, with both characters agreeing to leave the town and take a chance on something new.
Overall, “Sunrise” invites the listener to evaluate whether they are living life to the fullest and taking risks, or whether they are holding back due to fear and uncertainties. The song suggests that sometimes, taking a leap of faith and facing fears is necessary to fully experience life.
