Marina
Sleepy Sun Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

wake me on the softer side of heaven
in a land of healty minds
light, carry me high
float me down west of the lazy river
before these heavy stones sink our soaring heads

breathless morning put your head in my hands
night grows stele by the break of the dawn

take me where you're eyes are always blooming
the golden leaves, the red pine trees
what dreams may come
i wonder where we'll wind up when its over
falling like the stars right out of heavens mouth

breatless morning put your head in my hands
night grows stale by the break of the dawn

fever, fever, fever, flood the door
shiny, shiny, shiny, crack of light
outside flushs white




warmer tones than before outline flushes free
free of light, free of me

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Sleepy Sun's "Marina" are painted with dreamy landscapes that are almost mythical in essence. The song invites the listener to join in a journey of awakening, where the singer asks to be woken up on "the softer side of heaven." The opening of the song immediately sets the tone for a wistful, otherworldly experience as it calls out for a place "in a land of healthy minds."


The second verse continues with an intense desire to escape from the current state of being. The singer asks to be "carried high" and "floated down west of the lazy river," in order to flee from the heavy burden of existence that threatens to weigh them down. This idea is reinforced through the metaphor of "heavy stones" sinking "our soaring heads." There is an urgency in the desire to escape and find a space where breathing is easier.


The bridge of the song provides a glimmer of hope, asking to be taken to a place where "eyes are always blooming," a space filled with possibility and vibrance. However, the question remains about where they will wind up when it's all over. The final verse brings to mind the idea of falling like stars out of heaven's mouth. The song provides a sense of release from the mundane aspects of our world, offering a chance at something bigger, something that is both unknown and promised.


Line by Line Meaning

wake me on the softer side of heaven
Please wake me up gently in a peaceful state of mind


in a land of healthy minds
In a place where everyone is sound in mind and body


light, carry me high
Lift me up with your positive energy


float me down west of the lazy river
Take me to a place where I can relax and be carefree


before these heavy stones sink our soaring heads
Before we get bogged down by life's difficulties and lose our optimistic outlook


breathless morning put your head in my hands
Surrender yourself to the tranquil start of a new day


night grows stale by the break of the dawn
The night becomes less exciting as daylight approaches


take me where your eyes are always blooming
Take me to a place where everything is beautiful and alive


the golden leaves, the red pine trees
Nature's colors are vivid and striking


what dreams may come
What possibilities lie ahead?


i wonder where we'll wind up when it's over
I ponder what the outcome of our lives will be


falling like the stars right out of heaven's mouth
We'll end up wherever fate takes us


fever, fever, fever, flood the door
Intense emotions are overwhelming us


shiny, shiny, shiny, crack of light
We catch a glimmer of hope in a dark situation


outside flushes white
The environment outside changes and becomes blank and featureless


warmer tones than before outline flushes free
Warmer colors arise and take shape around us


free of light, free of me
We are liberated from our burdens and free to fly away

i haven't come across a band that's gotten me this excited over sound in a long long time. i'm a devoted fan forever. it's like kyuss, zepplin, and MGMT had a music baby. love it.

Aashni

I love psychedelic music where the drums sound very prominent, especially the cymbals and snare.

Diana Hernandez

I'm so in love with their sound. I'm so thrilled that someone in our time has found this sound. My god.

Ukiyomis

You'd be surprised of the number of artists/bands that have incredible sounds and are from our generation, it's just luck that's not always in their side or, they just dont want to make it big. Musical geniuses are all over the place

esta cancion me desbloqueo un recuerdo de mi yo de hace unos años 2016 y de verdad amo haberme encontrado con bandas tan psicodelicas!!!

I have been jamming this song for a decade, easily. Might be my favorite song ever. Cant describe in word what is makes me feel... The Bongo/drum sequence just sends me...

Himani Malhotra

I can't Believe BANDS LIKE THIS STILL EXIST, at first i thought they were core 60's band, But WOW, they opened my mind right away :D

DunDamage

this song has so many different feelings but then its resolved by the verse, for example the rock, then harmonica...so cool man,, just dig it!

DzedajO

If this was made in 1967, this would be major hit. Brilliant song, thank God for new psychedelic rock bands. Peace!
