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.

TheSunManager Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
in late of evenings
and early morns
I tried to ask I tried to know
what's left unknown
you couldn't stop
and I couldn't help
it was your tale to tell
I watched in pain
but I'll watch you rise
some things just keep us blind
keep you blind
keep me blind
words were spent when letters died
without a thought
I knew you'd try
is it really hard to look inside?
are you afraid of what you hide?
so dig in deep
and clench your heart
the bottom end is where you'll start
and I am here beside you love
some things just keep us blind
keep you blind
keep me blind
tell me did you find what you're looking for
did you hold back the tears
when you saw there's more
buried underneath all the years youve cut so deep
facing all the darkness when you're losing your mind
there's nothing left more but to look for the light
tell me did you find what you're looking for
baby did you find what you're looking for
some things just keep us blind
some things just keep you blind
some things still keep me blind
tell me did you find what youre looking for
baby did you find what youre looking for?
The lyrics to TheSunManager's song "Looking For" convey a message of empathy and support to someone who is struggling with inner demons and trying to find clarity in their life. The opening lines describe the singer's awareness of the other person's internal struggle, as they fumble for control during the late evenings and early mornings. The singer tries to ask and understand what's going on, but there are things that remain unknown. Despite their efforts to help, the singer realizes that it's not their tale to tell and that they can't stop the other person from going through this.
The lyrics then pivot to a more introspective and hopeful tone, as the singer encourages the other person to face their fears and look inside themselves. They acknowledge that it's not an easy journey to take, but they offer their support and love throughout the process. The chorus repeats the phrase "some things just keep us blind" to acknowledge that everyone has struggles that they can't always overcome on their own.
In the final verse, the singer asks if the other person has found what they were looking for and if they were able to face the darkness in their life. The implication is that the journey to find the light is ongoing and difficult, but it's necessary to keep searching for it.
Overall, the lyrics of "Looking For" express empathy, support, and hope for those who are struggling to find their way in life.
