Under the Sun
Sister 7 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sun is shinin? And the waters much to low
Fire across america
Where the hell you think we'll go
A drop of rain is good for everything
But the needle's in your vein
You want it easy
You just take it, take it
She's burnin? Br> mother heaven
Our homeland
Burnin? Under the sun
She's burnin? Br> mother heaven
Our homeland
Burnin? Under the sun

Someday you'll be kickin? It
But it'll be all right 'til then
You f**k it up 'til you get enough
Thinkin? Time will be your friend
Everyday is just another day
But the needle's in your vein
Take what you don't need
You just waste it, waste it

She's burnin? Br> mother heaven
Our homeland
Burnin? Under the sun
She's burnin? Br> mother heaven
Our homeland
Burnin? Under the sun

And the time will come, your children will say you lied
Rivers dry it don't run
You cannot deny
As it is within it will be outside
And the time will come
And the time will come

She's burnin? Br> mother heaven




Our homeland
Burnin? Under the sun

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of the song "Under the Sun" by Sister 7 paint a picture of a world that is on the brink of destruction due to the collective actions of humanity. The metaphor of the sun is used to symbolize the trouble that our world is facing. The sun is shining, but the water is too low, which could be a reference to the scarcity of water in times of drought, and the imminent danger of wildfires.


The chorus of the song, "She's burnin'? mother heaven? our homeland? Burnin' under the sun," reflects the bleak future ahead if we don't take necessary actions to protect our planet. The lyrics also seem to address the issue of addiction to drugs, as the lines: "A drop of rain is good for everything, but the needle's in your vein," and "But the needle's in your vein, take what you don't need, you just waste it, waste it," suggest.


The song is political and highlights pressing global issues in a poetic way. Sister 7 addresses the existential issues our planet is grappling with, making it a song that's both thoughtful and insightful.
