Sunset
The Internet Yuna Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Life's a mess
Mind's in disarray
So are my clothes
As I undress
And pick an outfit for this sunny day
Cause it's okay

I attempt
Not to let my optimism slip away
Cause it's okay

Cause as long as the sun is rising
We can get up, and brighten
Somebody's day
I'm shinin' bright as the rays
Inside my soul

So, maybe you feel it
Maybe you don't
Maybe you love it
Maybe you won't
Maybe the sunshine isn't enough
To heal your pain
So, maybe you play
Or maybe you fold
Baby you stay
Baby go
Maybe you touch me
I'll be afloat
Or maybe we'll stop somewhere down the road
Put on some headphones, sit at my home
Watchin' the sun set
Shed its good light on me, yeah

I obsess
Over things that shouldn't matter
But they do
And it affects me
In the worst possable way
But it's okay
We forget
What a big part all the little things can play
And that's okay

Cause as long as the sun is rising
We can get up, and brighten
Somebody's day




I'm shinin' bright as the rays
Inside my soul

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to The Internet's song Sunset ft Yuna are both introspective and optimistic. The first verse talks about the messiness of life - both the physical mess through mention of disheveled clothes, and the emotional mess through the line "mind's in disarray." Despite this messiness, the singer remains positive, choosing an outfit for the day and saying "cause it's okay." This sets the tone for the song, which is a message of hope in the face of adversity. The chorus emphasizes this message with the lines "as long as the sun is rising / we can get up, and brighten / somebody's day."


The second verse takes a turn towards anxiety and struggle as the singer confesses to obsessing over things that shouldn't matter, but that do affect them in a negative way. Despite this admission, the singer says "it's okay" and reminds us that we often forget the importance of the little things that make up our lives. The bridge explores the idea that this positive outlook may not be for everyone, acknowledging that while some may feel the sunshine and be lifted, others may still feel pain. The final lines of the song paint a peaceful image of watching the sunset and feeling its "good light" on the singer.


Overall, the song is a message to hold onto hope and find joy in the simple things, even when life is chaotic and overwhelming.
