Sun In My Eyes
Silje Svea Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Try to prepare how to tell you that I had enough
Cause I thought our love was sacred
I thought you found me special
But it only took a month for you to replace me
My love, I shortly got the sun in my eyes
And then I ran a little faster than my guardian angel could fly
Mistakes are meant to be made
I doesn't suit you to be so secure that it turns into greedy
And What about this pour girl does she know that you still fuck me
Now when you gamble my heart then I could shout out your secrets
Well now I won't cause I am trying to be way better than that
Your face is ruined by lies so I have to look away
I'm sure deep in my heart that you will regret your choice someday.
Can we find a way?
Can we find a way?
To turn the darkness into sunlight and go back to where we were
Can we find a way?
Can we find a way?
To turn the darkness into sunlight and go back to where we were
Where along the way did you become so stupid?
You wont find yourself up another woman's pussy
And this was never jalousie
Cause she ain't got a thing on me
I simply realised
That I am overqualified
and she will shake shake shake when I enter building
Cause all eyes eyes will be on me
Can we find a way?
Can we find a way?
To turn the darkness into sunlight and go back to where we were
Can we find a way?
Can we find a way?
To turn the darkness into sunlight and go back to where we were
You will never find one who can love you like I did
I would have held on to you like a mother to her kid
Don't believe you when you preach no holy water cannot save us
You can always find your way back even when you get lost
And I will never forget the day you made my world crack
Now all I can see is black
All I can see is black
Can we find a way?
Can we find a way?
To turn the darkness into sunlight and go back to where we were
Can we find a way?
Can we find a way?
To turn the darkness into sunlight and go back to where we were
In "Sun in My Eyes," Silje Svea expresses her complicated feelings towards a past lover who has betrayed her trust. The song begins with the singer drinking whiskey on the rocks on a sunny day, trying to find the courage to confront her ex about his infidelity. She thought their love was sacred, but it only took a month for him to replace her. Silje Svea metaphorically depicts her sudden sadness as the sun blinding her, causing her to run quicker than her guardian angel can fly. She accepts that mistakes were bound to happen and that their relationship might be reconcilable.
Silje then transitions into a dialog about the ex's current girlfriend, addressing that she knows about their affair. She contemplates exposing their secrets but decides to take the higher road. The singer acknowledges her worth and that the ex-boyfriend must face the consequences of his actions. Silje realizes that she is overqualified for him and that his new girl will never compare to what they shared. She confidently walks into a room full of people, knowing she will be the center of attention.
Finally, Silje begs the question of whether it's possible to return to their past relationship after such betrayal. She acknowledges that she loved him dearly and would have done anything to hold on to him. However, the pain she's experienced is too much for her to handle. The song ends on a melancholic note, with Silje feeling that all she sees is blackness around her.
Line by Line Meaning
Even though it's bright outside I drink my whiskey on the rocks
Despite the positive outlook outside I hold on to a negative one inside
Try to prepare how to tell you that I had enough
I attempt to mentally plan how to inform you that I am done
Cause I thought our love was sacred
Because I felt our relationship had a spiritual significance
I thought you found me special
I believed that you valued me as unique
But it only took a month for you to replace me
You found someone else quickly after ending our relationship
My love, I shortly got the sun in my eyes
I became momentarily blinded by hope
And then I ran a little faster than my guardian angel could fly
I went recklessly forward without protection
Mistakes are meant to be made
Errors happen for a reason
So that we can make it up again
To have a chance to fix things
I doesn't suit you to be so secure that it turns into greedy
It is not good for you to be so confident that it becomes selfish
And What about this pour girl does she know that you still fuck me
Does the other woman know that you and I still have a physical relationship?
Now when you gamble my heart then I could shout out your secrets
If you continue to risk my well-being I might reveal your secrets
Well now I won't cause I am trying to be way better than that
I won't expose you because I'm striving to be more mature
Your face is ruined by lies so I have to look away
I can't bear to look at you anymore due to the deception
I'm sure deep in my heart that you will regret your choice someday.
I believe you'll eventually realize your mistake
Where along the way did you become so stupid?
When did you make such foolish decisions?
You wont find yourself up another woman's pussy
You cannot fill your void with someone else
And this was never jalousie
I wasn't jealous
Cause she ain't got a thing on me
I have qualities that she doesn't possess
I simply realised
I came to the conclusion
That I am overqualified
I have more to offer than what you gave me credit for
and she will shake shake shake when I enter building
She'll feel threatened when I'm around
Cause all eyes eyes will be on me
Because I'll attract attention
You will never find one who can love you like I did
No one can love you the way that I did
I would have held on to you like a mother to her kid
I would have loved and nurtured you like a mother does her child
Don't believe you when you preach no holy water cannot save us
I don't believe that you have any remedy to fix our situation
You can always find your way back even when you get lost
There is always a chance for redemption
And I will never forget the day you made my world crack
I won't ever forget the moment you shattered my world
Now all I can see is black
Now all I see is darkness
Can we find a way?
Is there a possibility for us to solve this?
To turn the darkness into sunlight and go back to where we were
To change our negative state and return to our previous state
Can we find a way?
Is there a possibility for us to solve this?
To turn the darkness into sunlight and go back to where we were
To change our negative state and return to our previous state
