Morning Sun
Revelation Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

[Words: Dennis Cornelius, Steve Branagan]

Like a circle, the morning sun begins and ends
From the sight of it, I hold back always waiting
Every aspect, every possible point of view you can fathom

My unavoidable destiny
The human idiosyncrasy
It is exigent that I must deviate
From this fear of unimaginable pain

At the crossroads I seem to take wrong turns
Perfect hindsight reveals the true route
If I can learn from the past, can I become
The individual I aspire to be?

Like a circle, the morning sun begins and ends
From the sight of it, I hold back always waiting




I can continue to put off life, but how long will
It wait for me?

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of the song "Morning Sun" by Revelation describe the cyclical nature of life and the inner struggle of the person who is waiting for the right moment to act but is afraid of the pain that may come with it. The morning sun is used as a metaphor for the beginning and ending of life, and the singer holds back, waiting for the right moment to take action. The song speaks to the relatable feeling of being at a crossroads and not knowing which path to take, or making the wrong choice and later realizing the true path.


The lines "My unavoidable destiny, the human idiosyncrasy" allude to the fact that everyone has a fate to fulfill, but it is our individualistic quirks that set us apart. The singer acknowledges the need to deviate from the fear of pain, which is often what holds us back from taking risks and living life to the fullest. The chorus is a powerful reminder of this struggle, as the singer questions how long they can continue to put off life and wait for the right moment.


The song is thought-provoking and reflective, urging listeners to recognize the cyclical nature of life and embrace the moments that matter. It speaks to the human experience of doubt and uncertainty, but ultimately encourages us to take risks and overcome our fears.
