Overall Meaning

"The stars light up my life / So bright / Everlasting / The sun / Light up my life" - These are the opening lines to The Cinematic Orchestra's song Evolution. The lyrics are simple but powerful, depicting the ever-lasting beauty of the celestial bodies in the sky - the stars and the sun. The starlight is so bright and everlasting that it illuminates the singer's life. The sun, on the other hand, gives light to life itself.


As the song progresses, the singer goes on to say, "What I mean / The sun and dawn / Your love or your life / So bright / Everlasting". The lyrics here are open to interpretation but it appears that the singer is drawing a parallel between the sun and dawn, and the love one has in their life. The singer is saying that just like the rising sun and dawn, love too is bright and everlasting.


The repetition of the word "evolution" throughout the song seems to signify the progress of life, love, and everything else. The evolution of things might be slow, just like the rising sun, but it is a gradual process that brings enlightenment in its own time. The song is simple yet beautiful, and the lyrics seem to evoke a sense of comfort and reassurance.
