Her debut album "Noxxious" and her single release "Society" soon guaranteed crowded dancefloors in alternative clubs and they still do today.

Sara Noxx Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sometimes it's a little gift that we are so helpless
Take refuge in little dreams in my little land
Sometimes it's a little gift that we can't understand
Crying in a little corner in my little room
Sometimes it's a little gift that we die so soon
Think you are the greatest under yellow sun
Sometimes it's a little gift that your kingdom comes
These eyes can not see
Degrade with madness
(Close your eyes to me)
These hands can not give
This mind can not pray
It's always the same
(For what we must pay)
These mouth can not speak
These eyes can not see
Degrade with madness
(Close your eyes to me)
This brain can not dream
These lips can not cry
It's always the same
(Until we must die)
The lyrics of Sara Noxx's song Under A Yellow Sun convey the idea of the smallness of our lives and the fleeting nature of existence. The singer is sitting in their little room, feeling helpless and crying in a little corner. They find refuge in little dreams but still feel trapped in their little land. The chorus speaks of someone who thinks they are the greatest under the yellow sun, but the singer suggests that it's only a little gift and that ultimately, everything is the same until we must die.
The verses are repeated twice and the phrasing is simple, yet the words themselves carry a lot of weight. The lines "These mouth can not speak, these eyes can not see" evoke a sense of hopelessness and despair, as if the singer is paralyzed by their own limitations. The repetition of the phrase "it's always the same" in both verses emphasizes the idea that life can feel monotonous and unchanging, even though time is moving forward.
