These are, in … Read Full Bio ↴TheSunManager is the solo project of April Hernandez.
These are, in essence, tiny fragments of myself.
What I think is the meaning behind "TheSunManager":
You know how since we were kids, the sun was a representation of warmth, joy, and happiness? I liked how it sat beside "Manager". It kinda (in some weird way) tells and reminds me of how happiness is a choice and not a journey. At first I was thinking of naming the solo project as my name but I thought that I really don't want people to know me just as this one face. (Also from a marketing perspective, my name is extremely common and a Latina actress comes up on Google haha)
I feel like TheSunManager is an embodiment of that choice. The songs tell stories of choosing hope and positivity even through the tough times. I think that TheSunManager is a pair of empty shoes that anybody can wear. It's a constant reminder for me that I have a choice. Hopefully, the songs can serve as a reminder for you as well.

Cold Water
TheSunManager Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I am rolling in the deep
I am losing to the sea
where's the fire?
I can't breathe
Cold water
I will slowly drown and freeze
I am slowly going to die
Cold water
go and make me drink some more
make me perish from inside
I am drying up from all of this
Cold water
you had to slow it down
won't you make it swift and quick
I know I ain't gonna die
It's too cold
For me
where's the warmth?
where's the fire I can feel?
now you're gone
The song "Cold Water" by TheSunManager is an emotional track that talks about the feeling of drowning and being lost in the ocean of despair. It begins with the singer being in deep water, struggling to stay afloat and looking for a way out. The lyrics talk about how the cold water is causing them to slowly drown and freeze, while the absence of warmth and fire is making it difficult for them to breathe. The singer is experiencing physical and emotional pain, as they ask for more cold water to numb their pain. They feel as though they are dying slowly and are desperate for someone to make it swift and quick.
The overall theme of the song seems to be about feeling helpless and struggling to overcome a difficult situation. The image of cold water represents the harsh reality that the singer is facing, while the absence of warmth and fire represents the lack of hope and comfort. The singer is reaching out for help, asking for someone to save them from their misery. The song captures the essence of what it feels like to be lost and isolated, with no hope in sight.
