The Sunshine Above The Weather
Remedy Drive Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And the storms are gaining fast
Though it's raining in my heart
I know that You are sunshine
The sunshine above the weather
Always and forever Your love will remain
My rock and mighty fortress
Your love will remain
When everything is broken
And the darkness closes in
You are never far from me
'Cause deep inside I see sunshine
The sunshine above the weather
Always and forever Your love will remain
My rock and mighty fortress
I'm walking in Your promise
Your love will remain
I fade out, I run away but through it all You stay
The sunshine, the sunshine, the sunshine
It's breaking through when I need You
Your love will remain
The sunshine above the weather
Always and forever Your love will remain
My rock and mighty fortress
I'm walking in Your promise
Your love will remain
The lyrics to Remedy Drive's song The Sunshine Above The Weather convey a message of perseverance, hope, and reliance on a higher power. The first verse depicts a sense of turmoil and impending chaos, both literally in the form of a storm and metaphorically with a "raining" heart, which can be interpreted as emotional turmoil. However, amidst this chaos, the singer acknowledges that "You" (presumably referring to God) are the "sunshine" above the weather, indicating that while difficult times may be present, there is a source of light and hope that remains constant.
The chorus reinforces this message of enduring love and support, with the repeated phrase "Your love will remain" driving home the idea that even in the darkest of times, there is a constant force guiding the way. The second verse continues in a similar vein, describing a time of brokenness and darkness but emphasizing that even in these moments, the light of the "sunshine" remains within.
The final verse paints a picture of the singer's struggle to maintain this hope and faith, with the admission that they sometimes feel like "fading out" or running away from their problems. However, the knowledge that the "sunshine" will always be present offers comfort and motivation to keep going.
Overall, The Sunshine Above The Weather is a song about finding strength and comfort in a higher power during difficult times, emphasizing the importance of holding onto hope and love in the face of adversity.
