Under The Sun
The Dreams Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We don′t need to be on our own!

She walks alone
In shame
In pain
She closes her eyes
One more day
In this hell

Tears fall down her face
As they break her down
She surrenders
She disappears inside
As she cries for her savior

We are all under the sun
Under the same sky
So why do I feel all alone?
Under the sun
Under the same sky
We don't need to be on our own
On our own

He walks alone
Pretends to feel
(But they don′t understand)
Useless hope
So numb
So unreal

He disappears inside
You're not alone in being alone

We are all under the sun
Under the same sky
So why do I feel all alone?
Under the sun
Under the same sky
We don't need to be on our own

Oh, we are all under the sun
Under the same sky
So why do I feel all alone?
Under the sun
Under the same sky
We don′t need to be on our own
On our own




We don′t need to be on our own
On our own

Overall Meaning

The Dream's song Under The Sun is a poignant commentary on the often-crippling feelings of loneliness that plague many people today. The song speaks to the isolation and pain that both the male and female protagonists in the song feel. The woman in the song is struggling through what seems to be a particularly challenging time in her life, and the lyrics describe the overwhelming sense of shame and pain that she feels. She closes her eyes and surrenders to the depths of her anguish -- crying out for her savior.


The male protagonist in the song also struggles with feelings of numbness and isolation. He walks alone and pretends to feel, but the people around him don't understand his struggles. He, too, disappears inside himself, and the lyrics emphasize that he is not alone in being alone - a powerful message in a world where so many people are struggling with mental health challenges alone.


The song's chorus reminds us that we are all under the same sky, and no matter our struggles, we don't need to be on our own. Its message is both beautifully simple and potentially life-changing for those who may be struggling with feelings of loneliness and isolation.
