Dying Sun
River Ratts Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Love when it′s dark outside
When the moon shines
When it ain't bright
When the sun dies
I′ve got weed in my lungs
And beer in my gut
Give me your tongue
I've got weed in my lungs
And beer in my gut
Oh give me your
Give me your tongue
Baby lets fuck
Baby lets fuck
The opening lines of "Dying Sun" by River Ratts express a profound feeling of disdain towards the sun when it directly hits the singer's eyes. However, the same narrator declares their love for the darkness instead. The lyrics suggest that the sun represents reality and everything that is uncomfortable and difficult to face, while the night symbolizes escapism, detachment, and pleasure. These opposing ideas help to show the singer's state of mind, demonstrating their preference for the ease that comes with having their senses dulled, rather than facing life in all its harshness.
The next line suggests that the singer is under the influence of drugs and alcohol, and they long for connection and intimacy. The lines "Oh give me your, Give me your tongue" and "Baby lets fuck" may be interpreted as the singer's way of seeking temporary fulfillment through physical pleasure, which could be as fleeting and transient as the fading light of the sun.
"Dying Sun" is a track that is open to interpretation. It could be seen as a symbol for the singer's desire to escape reality, or it might represent the passing of youth, both of which are common themes in the alternative rock genre. The overall tone of the song is melancholic, with a sense of resignation, but with a touch of hope.
