Sunrise Sunset
Reptaliens Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Dream of you at night
Did you make it to the sunrise?
Listen to your song
Will you always be my milk boy?

Sunrise
Sunset
Rosy eyed
Crucified
Am I talking loud?
Lizard man




Circus tan
Are you holy now?

Overall Meaning

The Reptaliens' song Sunrise Sunset is a beautiful yet slightly melancholic track that seemingly talks about memories that the singer holds dear. The lyrics "Dream of you at night, did you make it to the sunrise?" suggest a possible lover or someone the singer cares for that they haven't seen in a while. The following line "Listen to your song, will you always be my milk boy?" adds to this notion, as it seems like the person being referred to may have some level of significance to the singer, possibly even being a past lover. The use of the word ‘milk boy’ may have symbolic connotations related to purity or youth, highlighting this person’s innocence or perhaps depicting them fondly as a nurturing figure.


The chorus simply repeats the word ‘Sunrise Sunset’, which could represent different stages of the relationship or the passage of time itself. The next verse has more abstract lyrics that seem to be philosophical in nature. The line "Rosy eyed, Crucified" could be interpreted as the loss of innocence, and the fact that the phrase contains contrasting imagery could also suggest conflicting emotions related to it. The lyric "Lizard man, Circus tan, Are you holy now?" seems to be addressing someone who has undergone some sort of transformation or change, but the imagery here is highly symbolic and open to interpretation. The song ends on a somewhat ambiguous note, with the listener left to make their own interpretation of the meaning behind the lyrics.
