Turn On The Sunshine
Suckers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Spread it on heavily
If there's room in your tree, honey
I won't shake off the leafs
When these feelings arise
I'm putting on my best face
I feel the most alive
When I get close to your face
Everything else is erased
Pour your heart out to me, baby
Pull it incessantly
Soak my feet to my knees, honey
Lightening bolts in the sea
When these feelings arise
I'm turning on the sunshine
I could never describe
Your loving is a goldmine
I'd like a little more time
To spend inside your goldmine
Put your hands inside my mirror
I'll be good to you
Once the image becomes clearer
Then you'll say, "I do"
Pull your hands out of the fire
I'll be good to you
Once contempt becomes desire
You will love me too
You'll love me too, you'll love me too
You'll love me too, you'll love me too
You'll love me too
The lyrics to Suckers' song "Turn On The Sunshine" seem to be about a person who is deeply in love and wants to be reunited with their significant other. The singer is imploring their lover to come back to them and "spread it on heavily" - to bring all of their love and emotions. The singer doesn't want the other person to leave, promising not to "shake off the leafs" if there is room for them in their partner's metaphorical tree.
Furthermore, the singer seems to be saying that whenever they are near their partner, everything else fades away. When their feelings arise, they are putting on their best face and feeling the most alive in their significant other's presence. This person is the sunshine in their life, and they describe their love as a "goldmine."
Towards the end of the song, the singer addresses their love directly, asking them to put their hands inside their "mirror" and promising to be good to them. They urge their partner to pull their hands out of the fire and declare that once contempt becomes desire, they will love the singer too. The repeated refrain of "You'll love me too" reinforces this idea.
Overall, "Turn On The Sunshine" seems to be a song about longing, desire, and the power of love to conquer all.
