Solarchaser
Syrian Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Along shifting lines of grey
No sunlight, no blue skies below
Just endless, eternal rain
I always stare at the endless sky
Waiting for the end of another day
I always stare at the falling rain
Nothing can be seen
Of the planet's surface
No oceans, no deserts or seas
No mountains, no signs of life
I always stare at the endless sky
Waiting for the end of another day
I always stare at the falling rain
Waiting for the sun to shine again
The lyrics of Syrian's song Solarchaser paint a picture of a desolate and barren world where the sky is constantly overcast and rain is the only weather to be found. The clouds themselves are described in terms of their violent clashes along constantly shifting lines of grey. Despite the bleakness of the environment, the singer seems to find some solace in the act of simply observing it. They spend their time looking up at the sky and waiting for the rain to stop, for the clouds to break, and for the sun to once again shine upon the planet's surface.
However, the singer goes on to lament the fact that nothing can actually be observed beyond the endless clouds. There is no sign of life, no mountains or deserts, no oceans or seas. It is a world devoid of all that makes life interesting or meaningful. In the face of such a bleak and unchanging existence, the singer simply continues to watch and wait, perhaps hoping that one day the sun will break through the clouds and illuminate a world that has been hidden from view for far too long.
Solarchaser is a haunting and thought-provoking song that captures the feeling of isolation and despair that can come from a world without empathy or understanding. It reminds us of the importance of seeking out new experiences and perspectives, and of never losing hope even in the face of seemingly endless darkness.

Cloud masses meet and clash
Massive clouds come together and collide
Along shifting lines of grey
They move along ever-changing gray patterns
No sunlight, no blue skies below
There is no sunlight or blue sky to be seen below the clouds
Just endless, eternal rain
All that can be seen is unending rainfall
I always stare at the endless sky
I constantly gaze at the never-ending sky
Waiting for the end of another day
Hoping for the current day to come to a close
I always stare at the falling rain
I always look at the rain coming down
Waiting for the sun to shine again
Anticipating and longing for the return of sunlight
Nothing can be seen
There is nothing visible to be observed
Of the planet's surface
Of the exterior of the planet
No oceans, no deserts or seas
Not even oceans, deserts or seas can be detected
No mountains, no signs of life
There is no sign of mountains or any form of living beings
