Behind The Sun Live
The Good the Bad & the Queen Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That you saw there
And you can't get home
It doesn't compare
You got all love and war
When you are all uptight with fever inside
Let's get out
And if we can't do that what do you say
Into the dawn of another way of looking at
The people we've become
To a place where we played when
We were young on the cool
Breeze behind the sun
When the genes dissented and the hammer fell
Reliving
The force of the feeling that got you so down
Will you ever forgive me
It was a perfect night
And I wanted to say
I love you
And when the flood comes down I'll carry you and let the
Past pass away
Into the dawn of another way of looking at
The people we've become
To a place where we played when
We were young on the cool
Breeze behind the sun
All the cool breeze behind the sun
All the cool breeze behind the sun
All the cool breeze behind the sun
The lyrics to “Behind the Sun” by The Good the Bad & the Queen convey a complex message about finding a new perspective. The song begins with an allusion to the story of Aladdin and his magical lamp. When the hard days come from the lamp, the singer of the song finds herself unable to return home, and her experience is incomparable to any others. Yet despite feeling uptight with fever inside, she suggests getting out and moving forward. If that isn’t possible, she suggests letting go of the past and embracing a new way of looking at themselves and the world.
The second half of the song continues this theme, referencing past events and emotions that have caused damage. The singer questions whether she will ever be forgiven and mentions a perfect night in which she wanted to say, “I love you.” Despite everything that has happened, she is willing to carry and support those close to her when the flood comes down. The song concludes with a repetition of the chorus, emphasizing the importance of finding peace and perspective in the present rather than dwelling on the past.
Overall, “Behind the Sun” is a poignant and multi-layered song that encourages listeners to seek out new perspectives and let go of painful memories.

When the hard day come from the magical lamp
When life throws unexpected hardships at you
That you saw there
That seemingly appeared out of nowhere
And you can't get home
And you feel lost or trapped
It doesn't compare
It doesn't compare to the feeling of being lost or trapped
You got all love and war
You have conflicting emotions and feelings
When you are all uptight with fever inside
When you're anxious and stressed out
Let's get out
Let's escape from our worries
And if we can't do that what do you say
And if we can't escape, what other options do we have?
Let the past pass away
Let's leave our past behind
Into the dawn of another way of looking at
Moving towards a new perspective
The people we've become
The current version of ourselves
To a place where we played when
To a place of childhood innocence
We were young on the cool
When life was carefree and easy
Breeze behind the sun
The feeling of warmth and happiness
When the genes dissented and the hammer fell
When things feel out of our control
Reliving
Remembering
The force of the feeling that got you so down
The intense negativity and sadness that overwhelmed you
Will you ever forgive me
Asking for forgiveness for causing pain
It was a perfect night
A memorable and beautiful moment
And I wanted to say
Expressing a desire to say something important
I love you
Declaring love for someone
And when the flood comes down I'll carry you and let the
Promising to be there through any challenges
Past pass away
Helping let go of past pain and hurt
All the cool breeze behind the sun
The feeling of happiness and ease
All the cool breeze behind the sun
The comfort of good memories
All the cool breeze behind the sun
The hope of a better tomorrow

Lyrics:
When the hard day come from the magical lamp
That you touch there
And you can't get home
It doesn't compare
You got all love and war
Now we're all uptight with fever inside
Let's get out
And if we can't do that, what do you say?
Let the past pass away
Into the dawn of another way
Of looking at the people we've become
To a place where you played when you were young
On the cool breeze behind the sun
When the genes dissented and the hammer fell
Reliving
The power of the feeling that got you so down
Will you ever forgive me?
It was a perfect light and I wanted to say
I love you
When the floods comes down, I'll carry you
And let the past pass away
Into the dawn of another way
Of looking at the people we've become
To a place where you played when you were young
On the cool breeze behind the sun
On the cool breeze behind the sun
On the cool breeze behind the sun
On the cool breeze behind the sun
