When the Sun Goes Down
The Car Is On Fire Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And that's nothing new at all
The memory of our first kiss
Is that thing I sorely miss
Every time you cry
Just wave to me with your hands
And tell me why
Only if you could do nothing else
When the sun goes down
The opening lines of When The Sun Goes Down by The Car Is On Fire speaks about waking up and feeling old, which is nothing new. This could be a reference to losing the prime years and realizing that life has moved too fast. The second line, "And that's nothing new at all," reinforces this idea. The main theme of the song is the memory of the first kiss, which the singer sorely misses. The pain of losing someone, combined with the realization of growing old, creates a sense of nostalgia and longing.
The next few lines, "Every time you cry, just wave to me with your hands, and tell me why, only if you could do nothing else than being near me," suggest that the singer wants to be there for the person they miss. They want to comfort them and be near them, to understand why they are crying. The final lines of the song, "When the sun goes down," might suggest a feeling of displacement or loneliness, implying that the singer only really feels alive in the absence of the sun, when it is dark and quiet and they can reflect on their thoughts.
Line by Line Meaning
I woke up, I'm feeling old
I opened my eyes and realized that time has passed, and I am no longer young
And that's nothing new at all
This feeling of aging is a common occurrence
The memory of our first kiss
I still remember the moment we shared our first kiss
Is that thing I sorely miss
I deeply long for that memory and the connection it represents
Every time you cry
Whenever you shed tears
Just wave to me with your hands
Simply signal to me with a gesture
And tell me why
Explain the reason behind your sadness
Only if you could do nothing else
If there was nothing else you could do
Than being near me
Apart from being by my side
When the sun goes down
As night falls and darkness sets in
