Sunburn
Sandwich Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Here she comes
Coming out of the water
Here she comes
Coming straight at me
Here she comes
Coming out of the water
Here she comes
Summer refugee

I just wanna be on the beach

Here she comes
Golden island senorita
Here she comes
Slomo freeze the frame

Here she comes
Golden island senorita
Here she comes
Do you know her name?

I just wanna be on the beach

I need to get away from the city
I need to get away from the work
I need to get away from the traffic
I need to get away
Got to get away





I just wanna be on the beach

Overall Meaning

Sandwich's song "Sunburn" speaks about the longing for a temporary escape from city life and the everyday grind, particularly during the summer heat. The opening lines describe a woman rising out of the water and walking straight towards the singer. She is a "summer refugee" who, like the singer, sought a break from the stresses of urban living. This nameless woman becomes the object of the singer's appreciation, as evident in his description of her as a "golden island senorita". The phrase "Slomo freeze the frame" emphasizes the singer's desire to imprint this moment of escape in his memory, as if time could stand still in this idyllic moment.


The repetition of the line "I just wanna be on the beach" reinforces the singer's longing for a temporary escape from the city, and his need to disconnect from reality even for a short period. The chorus emphasizes the desire to take a break from work, traffic and the city. The lyrics paint a calming picture of a vacation by the beach, where the heat and the worries of the city can be left behind.


Overall, the song evokes a feeling of dissatisfaction with city life and a longing for a temporary escape from it. The singer finds solace and comfort in the beauty of nature and the simplicity and freedom of the beach.
