Tinie Tempah feat. John Martin Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You're not alone
Anywhere you go, I follow
We are the children of the sun
That's all you need to know
Lay down your head
You're not alone
We are the children of the sun
That's all you need to know
Bitch I'm a moon walker like Michael, sky walk all over my rivals
Both hands on that Bible, bitch I'm next in line for that title
When nigga had nothing to do, I was idle
I was in the studio with Taio
We climbing high, we on the Kilimanjaro, and their panicking
They don't really know what's happening
Never gotten clothes off a mannequin, we don't want no comparison
I overdose on extravagance, we went for gold and got platinum
I told my bro to get an ambulance
'Cause I caught a cold and went spaz on them
How can home be where the heart is
When your shadow even fucking leaves you when you are in darkness
Still get stopped by Sergeant Pepper, looking for that ziggy stardust
After a lifetime of regret, I'm just looking for some answers
Lay down your head
You're not alone
Anywhere you go, I follow
We are the children of the sun
That's all you need to know
Lay down your head
You're not alone
Anywhere you go, I follow
We are the children of the sun
That's all you need to know
I had opportunity in my window, wise words in my kindle
Disturbing London, we here to ball, your team stuck in limbo
Like Freddie, Bruno and Ringo, I saw the signs and symbols
With that top down on my yellow ride, let bitches hate on my bimbo
I'm yards away from that milestone, international dial tone
Put me through amaro when you Instagram with your iPhone
From yellow bricks to them brown stones, I ring bells, I'm household
Look at all the rappers we outsold so keep your mouth closed
How did I become so jaded
Maybe all these insecurities are making me feel naked
Feel like Harry did in Vegas, had my privacy invaded
That's a liberty a pity, the epitome of what fame is
Priest up in my parish, keep on putting me in their prayers
Swear I'd never sell my soul, my pride and dignity is too major
We rarely ever get those second chances, after a lifetime of regret
I'm just looking for some answers
Lay down your head
You're not alone
Anywhere you go, I follow
We are the children of the sun
That's all you need to know
Lay down your head, you're not alone
Anywhere you go, I follow
We are the children of the sun
That's all you need to know
Looking for a light that can outshine the sun
I know one day our time will come
Bought a camera to capture these cinematic nights
Still don't satisfy my appetite for this lavish life
Tell me, doctor, am I fit for all these flashing lights?
Like Michael said, it doesn't matter if you're black or white
We got the colors of the sun to descend above us
All we have is each other in case you happen to wonder
Let's go
Lay down your head
You're not alone
Anywhere you go, I follow
We are the children of the sun
That's all you need to know
Lay down your head, you're not alone
Anywhere you go, I follow
We are the children of the sun
That's all you need to know
The opening lines of "Children of the Sun" have a comforting message - lay down your head, you are not alone. The singer promises that he will follow wherever they go, reassuring the listener of his presence and support. The repeated assertion that "We are the children of the sun, that's all you need to know" can be interpreted in a variety of ways, but most likely it is meant to convey a sense of unity and belonging. They both have a purpose and their journey is intertwined, much like the journey of all individuals on this earth.
Throughout the song, there is an underlying theme of fame, fortune, and the cost of success. It seems like the singer has experienced the highs and lows of a celebrity lifestyle and is now grappling with the sacrifices that fame demands. They also talk about the unfairness of life - how success is not always a reflection of talent but opportunity and the state of the market. In the end, the singer turns to his listener (perhaps a loved one) for comfort and support. The song paints a picture of the struggles we all face and the importance of having others to lean on when the going gets tough.
