Born Into the Sunset
Temples Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I was thrown into the sunset
You were there
And a silent sleeping window array
I was tossed
Into walls of happy sundays
By the pair
Memories fade into the weekend away
Every night
I will work until the sun's up
In disguise
Of a silent sleeping window array
Carousel
Spin me around until I'm seasick
I was born
I was born into the sunset today
Sunset today
Be as it may
Don't let anyone tell you
On and on it's true
You sit on your chances and see
That the world doesn't end at your feet
Be as it may
Only knowing is needing
On an open sea
You lay on the surface and breathe
And you feel the eruption of free
Paradise
Paradise into the sunset
Mellow cries
Amplified until the sound's red alert
I was drawn
In the webs of the surroundings
I was torn
I was born into the sunset today
(Sunset today)
Born of the night
Born of the night
Measuring miles
Everyone smiles
Be as it may
Don't let anyone tell you
On and on it's true
You sit on your chances and see
That the world doesn't end at your feet
Be as it may
Only knowing is needing
On an open sea
You lay on the surface and breathe
And you feel the eruption of free
The lyrics to Temples' song Born Into the Sunset are rich in metaphors and imagery, and they can be interpreted in a number of ways. The song seems to tell the story of the singer's birth and subsequent journey through life, with references to both happy and difficult times, as well as the idea of seizing opportunities and embracing freedom.
The opening stanza comprises a series of contrasts - the singer's birth is juxtaposed with being thrown into the sunset, and being tossed into walls of happy Sundays. These lines suggest a sense of turmoil and disorientation at the outset of life, as the singer is overwhelmed by a vivid and changing world. However, the presence of another person - "you were there" - suggests that there is support or guidance to help the singer navigate life's challenges.
The second stanza shifts the focus to the present, with the singer describing their nightly routine of working until sunrise. This image of working in disguise as a "silent sleeping window array" suggests that the singer is perhaps hiding their true self or their ambitions, and that they are going through the motions of life rather than engaging fully with it. The image of the carousel spinning adds to this feeling of being trapped in a cycle of monotony, while the final line - "I was born into the sunset today" - suggests that the singer is still struggling to find their place in the world.
Line by Line Meaning
I was born
I came into existence
I was thrown into the sunset
I was figuratively cast into the world
You were there
Someone was present at my birth
And a silent sleeping window array
An inanimate object was present at my birth
I was tossed
I was thrown around in life
Into walls of happy sundays
I collided with cheerful moments in life
By the pair
Two things or events caused my experience
Memories fade into the weekend away
Recollections become less vivid as time passes
Every night
Each evening
I will work until the sun's up
I will labor until daybreak
In disguise
Unrecognizable
Of a silent sleeping window array
Like an inanimate object that observes but cannot act
Carousel
A rotating amusement ride
Spin me around until I'm seasick
Make me dizzy from movement
I was born into the sunset today
I entered the world recently
Be as it may
Regardless of that
Don't let anyone tell you
Do not allow others to dictate your decisions
On and on it's true
It remains factual despite repetition
You sit on your chances and see
You have opportunities that you ignore
That the world doesn't end at your feet
The world is not defined solely by your experiences
Only knowing is needing
Acquiring knowledge is crucial
On an open sea
In an unrestricted environment
You lay on the surface and breathe
You relax and inhale oxygen
And you feel the eruption of free
A sense of liberation or release
Paradise
An idyllic place or state
Paradise into the sunset
A perfect moment in time
Mellow cries
Soft wails or sobs
Amplified until the sound's red alert
Magnified beyond comfortable hearing
I was drawn
I was attracted or pulled towards something
In the webs of the surroundings
Entangled in the environment
I was torn
I was conflicted or indecisive
Born of the night
Generated from darkness
Measuring miles
Calculating distance
Everyone smiles
Everyone appears to be happy
