Romeo
Sunrise Avenue Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Into the night to find your Romeo
It's a pity finding someone
Won't bring it all to you right now
Enter the slowly crying game
Enter the fear it's all taken away
It's a pity finding someone
Alone in the night you seek and wonder
Shady name, shady night
Hide the sunlight in your eyes
Lonely life's a crying road
Shady name, shady night
Hide the sunlight in your eyes
Only for the hiding Romeo
I'm not the one to make you complete
I'm not the guy to help you reach the dream
Such a pity lighting sunrise
Won't come before your eyes right now
All alone in the night you seek and wonder
Shady name, shady night
Hide the sunlight in your eyes
Lonely life''s a crying road
Shady name, shady night
Hide the sunlight in your eyes
Only for the hiding Romeo
The lyrics of Sunrise Avenue's song "Romeo" are about unrequited love and the pain it brings. The singer watches sadly as the person they love goes out into the night to find their Romeo. The cold night reinforces the sense of loneliness and isolation felt by the singer. The idea that finding someone won't bring happiness is repeated throughout the song. The lines "Alone in the night you seek and wonder" evoke a sense of yearning and desperation.
The crying game and the fear of losing love are also central themes of the song. The singer tells the person they love that they cannot make them complete or help them reach their dreams. Instead, they must find their Romeo on their own, even if it means living a lonely life. The repeated lines "Shady name, shady night, hide the sunlight in your eyes" emphasize the dark, secret nature of the love the singer feels.
Overall, "Romeo" is a powerful and emotional song about the pain of unrequited love, the feeling of being alone and lost, and the desperate search for something or someone that might bring happiness.
