A Fragment Of The Sun
Semtex Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Wipe away my shedding tears
The coldness takes me far away
The warmth of bed brings me back
The thoughts in me kept me up that night
She looks right into my eyes and says
You destroy yourself with your pain
So I drink one more glass and cry A fragment of the sun
A part of me is gone
The bitter fate has left scars
But when there’s no sun, I’ll take the stars
the days of anguish and despair
Are displaced, forgotten, but still defining
The redirection on the way back home
Is a burden, I cannot shift off
So I got used to wake up scared
Disenchanted and heavy hearted
But all this makes no sense
When I don’t want to forget
The lyrics of Semtex's song "A Fragment Of The Sun" depict the struggle of dealing with pain and loss. The singer wakes up in the dark, with tears in his eyes, feeling a sense of coldness taking him far away. However, the warmth of his bed brings him back to reality, and he begins to reflect on the thoughts that kept him up all night. He recalls a moment where someone looked into his eyes and told him that he was destroying himself with his pain. This realization leads him to drink one more glass and cry, as he feels a part of him is gone like a fragment of the sun. He accepts that the bitter fate he has faced has left him with scars, but at the same time, he knows that he can look up to the stars when there's no sun.
The lyrics suggest that despite the days of anguish and despair, he seems to be able to forget them eventually, but they still define him in some ways. He acknowledges that the redirection on the way back home is a burden that he cannot shift off. He has become used to waking up scared, disenchanted and heavy-hearted. Despite all this, he cannot forget because that would make everything he's been through senseless. He's caught between the pain of remembering and the fear of forgetting.
The song's meaning is open to interpretation, but it seems to be about the struggle to come to terms with loss and grief. It's a melancholic song that beautifully captures the pain of loss and the feeling of being stuck between wanting to forget and remembering what has happened.

I wake up and see the dark
When I wake up, I only see darkness around me
Wipe away my shedding tears
I wipe away my tears that were shed while I was asleep
The coldness takes me far away
I feel numb and the coldness takes me away from my emotions
The warmth of bed brings me back
But the warmth of my bed brings me back to reality
The thoughts in me kept me up that night
My thoughts kept me awake all night long
She looks right into my eyes and says
She looks at me and says these words directly to my eyes
You destroy yourself with your pain
She tries to make me understand that my pain is causing harm to me
So I drink one more glass and cry
Unable to handle the pain, I resort to drinking and crying
A fragment of the sun
I try to hold onto a glimmer of hope amidst the darkness
A part of me is gone
I have lost a part of myself and my identity
The bitter fate has left scars
The outcome of my fate has left deep emotional scars within me
But when there’s no sun, I’ll take the stars
Even in the absence of hope or light, I will strive to find some sense of direction from the stars
the days of anguish and despair
The days when I feel helpless and lost
Are displaced, forgotten, but still defining
Although I may try to forget these days, they still shape and define me as a person
The redirection on the way back home
On the way back home, I try to find a new path to follow
Is a burden, I cannot shift off
However, this new path feels like a heavy burden that I can't shake off
So I got used to wake up scared
I have become accustomed to waking up feeling anxious and fearful
Disenchanted and heavy-hearted
I feel indifferent and emotionally burdened
But all this makes no sense
Despite all of this, none of it seems to make sense to me
When I don’t want to forget
Because I don't want to forget the pain and struggles that have made me who I am today
