Sun
The Strings Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The ones I hold beside me, they know just where to go
Please, oh please don't let my mind ache. Keep me as one
When my eyes go blind and my legs go numb, show me the direction to run
Oh oh, take my life and make me, take me from the sun
Take my hand and show me where you come from
My mind wanders, I sit and ponder; where will the time lead
There will come a day when we all part but, it's much to far to see
My friends and enemies, won't you come and see as we leap from the sun
Oh oh, take my life and make me, take me from the sun
Take my hand now lord
Take me from the sun, no
Take me from the sun, oh
Oh oh, take my life and make me, take me from the sun
The Strings' song "Sun" is a reflection on the longing for a sense of belonging and comfort in a world that can feel overwhelming and isolating at times. The opening lines, "Far away from home, the place where I belong," set the tone for the rest of the song as the singer searches for something to ground them and make them feel more at ease. The repetition of the phrase "When I close my eyes, I start to realize" suggests a sense of introspection and inner reflection, as if the singer is searching for answers or meaning within themselves.
The chorus, with its repeated plea to the "Summer sun" to "keep me warm" and "come and dry my eyes," highlights the theme of seeking comfort and reassurance in the face of uncertainty and anxiety. The mention of the "Northern light" also adds a touch of whimsy and wonder to the song, evoking the beauty and mystery of the natural world.
The phrase "Find me, summer sun" echoes the earlier line about trying to find a sense of belonging and suggests that the answer may lie in reconnecting with nature and the world around us. Overall, "Sun" is a beautifully crafted song that captures the universal human experience of searching for meaning and connection in a complex and sometimes chaotic world.
