Fascination
Red Sun Rising Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You light up when you're in range of the sound of misfortune
Someone shaking the change
String me up like a marionette dancing for you
Do you miss us at all?
Do you miss us at all?
Do you miss us at all?

You find what drives you and mesmerize you
Leaving us to discover love through
The fascination isn't
The fascination unless
It motivates you to death

And do you miss us at all?
Well never mind it's the same old rhetoric
And if you want to complain
Well would you mind remembering us for a change?

You find what drives you and mesmerize you
Leaving us to discover love through
The fascination isn't
The fascination isn't




The fascination unless
Do you miss us at all?

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Red Sun Rising's "Fascination" explore the theme of emotional detachment within a relationship. The opening lines suggest that one person in the relationship only seems to show interest when something negative happens, almost as if they enjoy seeing their partner struggle. The image of being "strung up like a marionette" reinforces the idea that the singer feels controlled and manipulated by their partner's behavior. The repeated question of "do you miss us at all?" highlights the disconnect between the two individuals and suggests that the singer feels neglected or ignored.


The chorus takes a slightly different turn, focusing on the idea of finding motivation and inspiration in life. The line "leaving us to discover love through" suggests that the singer and their partner have different ways of finding meaning and fulfillment in their lives. While the partner is driven by their fascination with something, the singer is left to search for love and connection on their own. The final line, "the fascination isn't the fascination unless it motivates you to death," suggests that the partner's passion and drive may ultimately lead to their downfall.


Overall, the lyrics to "Fascination" paint a picture of a relationship where one partner is struggling to connect with the other on an emotional level. The repeated question of "do you miss us at all?" underscores the underlying anxiety and insecurity that permeates the song.
