Sun
Somali Yacht Club Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The sun
The sun
The sun
The sun

Why do you have me
I don't know
Will this sunshine ignite my bone

The sun
The sun
The sun
The sun

Up to the sun
All lights on us
When you are hiding
The darkness rises
Lightning strikes
It means we're punished by the hand of god
Dear me
You've got no heart
Big waves are coming

Goodbye sun
Goodbye sun
Goodbye sun
Goodbye sun




Goodbye sun
Goodbye sun

Overall Meaning

The song "Sun" by Somali Yacht Club talks about the power of the sun and how it affects the human body and more. The first stanza starts with the repetition of the word "sun" and creates a mystifying atmosphere around the song. The second stanza talks about how the singer is unsure of the sun's power and what it will do to the body. He's curious if the sunshine will awaken his desires and if it will change him forever.


The third stanza talks about the sun shining bright and being the center of attention, and how hiding from it can bring forth darkness. The lyrics imply that hiding from something can lead to its opposite. Additionally, the lyrics talk about being struck by lightning as a punishment from the hand of God. All in all, this stanza tries to show the contrasts between light and darkness, and how each can affect our lives.


The fourth stanza presents a sense of chaos and impending danger. The singer uses the phrase "Big waves are coming" to describe the turbulence and trouble that might be coming his way. The song then ends with a sort of goodbye to the sun and a sense of closure after the treacherous journey.
