Tequila Sunrise
Solefald Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Når parasollen åpner seg I sjelelsk
Glimrer det langs spilene
Og verden blir kjønn
Do er vanntårnet på på bordet
Jeg danser på kanten av glasset
Og lengter mot regn og frodige skoger
Glir med et rykk og finner ut mellom isbitene
At lykken er en utpult bigamist
Monogam med lidenskapen som eneste elskerinne
Do kommer fra solavlede dyner
Og er fuktig med leppene nede
Søvn med sirupssøte mothaker
Jeg drar meg opp på cocktailpinnen
Huler ut en isbit med tungen
Smeltevann på duken
Solnedgangen rødmer når pinnen bikker
Med sugerøret I munnen
Setter jeg tennene I cisternen
Tømmer den for vannkyss
VI går ut av baren sammen
Og farer videre




Kanelstrødde boulevarder
Kremfylte slott

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Solefald's song Tequila Sunrise describe a scene of taking in the beauty of the world around us, while indulging in life's simple pleasures such as sipping cocktails and dancing on the edge of a glass. The song also alludes to the complexity of human emotions, describing happiness as a betrayed lover who remains faithful to passion as their only mistress. The lyrics metaphorically paint a picture of a person who longs for the rain and the lush forests, but is enjoying the tequila sunrise in the moment.


The theme of duality is prominent throughout the lyrics, as the singer describes the dichotomy of pleasure and pain, happiness and sadness, and the beauty and ugliness of the world. The song ultimately seems to suggest that it is our ability to embrace both the light and the dark, the joy and the sorrow, that makes life worth living.


The lyrics of the song may also be interpreted as a critique of our tendency as human beings to numb ourselves with artificial pleasures, such as alcohol, rather than being fully present in the moment and embracing the natural beauty of the world around us.


Line by Line Meaning

Når parasollen åpner seg I sjelelsk
As the parasol opens up in my mind


Glimrer det langs spilene
It shimmers along the spines


Og verden blir kjønn
And the world becomes kind


Do er vanntårnet på på bordet
There's a water tower on the table


Jeg danser på kanten av glasset
I dance on the edge of the glass


Og lengter mot regn og frodige skoger
And long for rain and lush forests


Glir med et rykk og finner ut mellom isbitene
With a jerk I glide and figure out between the ice cubes


At lykken er en utpult bigamist
That happiness is a worn-out bigamist


Monogam med lidenskapen som eneste elskerinne
Monogamous with passion as its only lover


Do kommer fra solavlede dyner
There's dew on the lips


Og er fuktig med leppene nede
And it's wet with the lips down


Søvn med sirupssøte mothaker
Sleep with sweet syrupy pillowcases


Jeg drar meg opp på cocktailpinnen
I pull myself up on the cocktail stick


Huler ut en isbit med tungen
Hollow out an ice cube with my tongue


Smeltevann på duken
Meltwater on the tablecloth


Solnedgangen rødmer når pinnen bikker
The sunset blushes when the stick tips


Med sugerøret I munnen
With the straw in my mouth


Setter jeg tennene I cisternen
I sink my teeth into the cistern


Tømmer den for vannkyss
Empty it of water kisses


VI går ut av baren sammen
We leave the bar together


Og farer videre
And continue on


Kanelstrødde boulevarder
Cinnamon-strewn boulevards


Kremfylte slott
Cream-filled castles
