Behind The Sun
Sylosis Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

In years to come
Everything will crumble
Within your palms
It is all an illusion
How could you be so blind
In years to come
The skies will conspire against you
Say farewell to the beacon that shines
It has left you behind
I've seen the sun
Burn out beyond its years

In years to come
Everyone will turn on you
Within an instant you're on your own
How could you have been so blind
They will leave you behind

I've seen the sun
Burn out beyond its years
As time peels away
I found the truth was safe
I don't owe a thing to this world
This world belongs to me

I am beyond death
Time has taken its toll
A vision so clearly tangible
Reality draws to a halt

Why look for an answer
If you refuse to let go
You're living a lie

I've seen the sun
Burn out beyond its years
As time peels away
I found the truth was safe




I don't belong to this world
This world belongs to me.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Behind The Sun" by Sylosis depict a sense of apocalyptic doom and a journey towards enlightenment. The song starts by saying that everything, in the end, will crumble within our palms, indicating that everything we perceive to be permanent and stable is just an illusion. The skies will conspire against us, and the beacon that shines bright will leave us behind. The repetition of the phrase "How could you be so blind" emphasizes the idea that the singer's downfall was due to his/her lack of awareness and perception of the reality of things.


The chorus, "I've seen the sun burn out beyond its years," is a metaphor for the singer's journey towards understanding the truth about the world and the universe. As time passes, the truth becomes clearer, and the person no longer feels bound to the constraints of the world. The lyrics "I don't owe a thing to this world, this world belongs to me." suggest that the singer has moved beyond the physical realm, and their understanding of the world has evolved to a point where they feel they belong to a higher plane of existence.


The song's main theme is the importance of understanding reality and breaking free from the illusion that is presented to us. It emphasizes that the journey towards enlightenment is not easy, and there will be consequences for not having an awareness of the world's realities. The song, therefore, encourages listeners to question their beliefs and perceptions of the world and strive towards a deeper understanding.
