Light Of The Universe
Sun Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

In a house up the hill
Lays a boy, he´s sleeping still
And the time´s creeping by
Till the world prepares to die
Then again out of dust
Will arise what ended last
And the boy will awake
Give his dream a little brake

And the story now goes on and on and on
and on and on and on
As the old has died the new arises
And a child will
Light the universe
Light the universe
We got blind, we can´t read the signs
Light the universe
Light the universe
We don´t find what´s hidden in our mind
Under sand in a sea
Covered with eternity
Beats a heart with no fame
Quietly whispering my name
When my time has run out
I will hear it very loud
Telling tales I once knew
But forgot by loosing you
And the story has gone on and on and on
and on and on and on
As the old has died the new arises
And a boy will
Light the universe
Light the universe
We got blind, we can´t read the signs
Light the universe
Light the universe
We don´t find what´s hidden in our mind
Light the universe
Light the universe
We got blind, we can´t read the signs
Light the universe
Light the universe
We don´t find what´s hidden in our mind
In a house up the hill
Lays a boy, he´s sleeping still

And the time´s creeping by
Till the world prepares to die

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Light of the Universe" by Sun describe the passing of time and the renewal that occurs when life and the universe are continually reborn. The song opens with a sleeping boy, possibly representing new beginnings, in a house on a hill. The passage of time is emphasized as it is noted that the world is preparing to die. The rebirth is described as even when things end, they arise out of the dust again. The idea of a story that continues endlessly is also introduced, as the boy will awaken and give his dream a little break, implying that the story will pause but ultimately continue.

The second verse of the song talks about the human condition of being blind to what is hidden in our minds, which could be interpreted as the true nature of reality or the path to enlightenment. The verses then move on to talk about a heart beating in eternity, whispering the listener's name. This again could be interpreted in many ways but likely means that the human soul is eternal and will continue to exist after death, being called back to the universe or possibly reincarnated. The chorus repeats the phrase, "Light the universe," possibly exhorting us to awaken, live fully, and contribute to the ongoing story of life.
