Sun Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

My hair was long and shining
You said you can't believe
How could walk our that door
Or walk along the streets
You told me I should you know
Do some bing bang curly wurly afro thing
I took your word and did
Looked in my mirror
Who's that freak
Why does the world deceive
Why do I make believe
Took my heel and made
Achilles out of me still
So I won't wanna be
Someone who's answer to me
Someone who sees like a child
Give like a saint
Feel like an angel
Never mind the broken wings
And speak like a picture
Cry like the rain
Shine like the star
As long as the fire remains
The vase beside my bed
It's empty a most dead
It's for all the flowers I'm gonna give you he said
And now it's collecting qust instead
Why does the world deceive
Why do I make believe
Took my heel and made
Achilles out of me still
So I won't wanna be
Someone who's answer to me
Someone who sees like a child
Give like a saint
Feel like an angel
Never mind the broken wings
And speak like a picture
Cry like the rain
Shine like the star
As long as the fire remains
Sees like a child
Give like a saint
Feel like an angel
Never mind the broken wings
And speak like a picture




Cry like the rain
Shine like the star

Overall Meaning

The song "Start" by Sun is a reflection on the experiences of someone who has been influenced heavily by a past lover. The lyrics in the first verse describe how the singer has taken the advice of their former partner and tried to create a new look with their hair. However, upon seeing the result in the mirror, the singer is disappointed and begins to question their own identity. The line "Why does the world deceive, why do I make believe" suggests that the singer is struggling to come to terms with their own self-image and is unsure of how to find their identity without their former lover.


In the second verse, the singer reflects on a vase beside their bed which once held flowers given to them by their ex-partner. The vase is now empty and collects dust, symbolizing the singer's feelings of emptiness and nostalgia. The line "took my heel and made Achilles out of me still" suggests that the singer has been hurt deeply by their former partner and has struggled to move on. Despite this, they continue to hold onto the hope that they can become a better version of themselves.

While the sun's heat and light are most visible to us, it has many other important capacities. What new facts did you learn about the sun's critical role in the solar system?

@sarahchua3712

O sistema solar dependente da estrela...Sem o sol não haveria o sistema solar? ...e nós não existitiamos...ao longe parece uma crisalia dançante ...ao perto uma estrela ebuliente...mas o sol torna tudo ainda mais único e uno, en fim um guia não é?!!...

Every time i feel sad i watch some space documentaries to see how insignificant me and my problems are and for some reason it makes me feel better.

@elijahmbugua

Wow!! Exactly the road I'm on now. Cheers bud!

@kannanramachandran8778

Same here dude

@erice.stewart3020

I agree. It's a lonely feeling, and I always had a fascination and interest with astronomy and the planets, and couldn't understand why this was forgotten by the masses of people...or how nobody cared.
I believe this is overlooked. I also believe astronomy is tied with the ancient world and astrotheology.
I believe I am getting more into this hobby, once again!
