Everything Under The Sun
Twin Bandit Lyrics

Dawn wakes the silence
The start of a new day breaks the silence of the night

Of a fainted lullaby
The peacefulness of the night is fading

Day breaks the eyelid
The day brings light to the world

From a song sung in my eye
The day begins with a personal feeling of joy

Night rests in peace
The peace of night brings rest to the world

As the sun mourns the sky
The sun's rise is the end of the night's peace

All's accounted for sheep
Everything is in order, like a shepherd and their sheep

Over a horizon's i
As far as the eye can see

Rise, rise 'n shine
Wake up and start the day

A new day is coming
There's a new opportunity to start over

Rise, rise in time
Make sure to start the day early enough to get everything done

For everything under the sun
This is a reminder that everything has a time and place

And when you see
Observing nature can tell you a lot about the weather

A south wind blow
When the wind is coming from the south, it's usually warm

Forecasting, you will know
By observing nature, you can make predictions

A hot day, will be on the way
The weather is about to get warm

(foolish one)
This is said in a playful way, not meant to be insulting

You analyze
People often try to make sense of the world around them

The earth and the sky
Nature is something people try to understand

I ask you why
Why do people try so hard to understand everything?

You can't analyze the signs
Some things are harder to understand than others

Of the present time
It's hard to predict the future

I had a dream
This is a personal experience that is being shared

Not unlike the one from old
This dream has similarities to other famous dreams

Of a man king
The dream features a powerful king

Whose head was made of gold
The king is made of precious materials, suggesting his power

Stand castles of sand
Even the most permanent things are temporary

Weather the sundials rise 'n fall
Time is always changing

Chasing wind through your hands
Some things, like time, can't be held onto

'til water runs dry the well
Everything comes to an end eventually

Dream, daniel, dream
This line references a story in the Bible

For what's yet to come
Predicting the future can be important

See, daniel, see
Pay attention to the world around you

And in the west
Focusing on the west at sunset can give insight

A cloud appears
The appearance of a cloud can be a sign of rain

For shadows of
This suggests that the cloud is a sign of something else

A coming shower near
This is a prediction about the weather

Oh, so near
The prediction is very accurate

(hypocrites)
This is somewhat of a joke, not meant to be insulting

You analyze
People often try to understand the world around them

The earth and the sky
Nature is something people try to understand

I ask you why
Why do people try so hard to understand everything?

You can't analyze the signs
Some things are harder to understand than others

Of the present time
It's hard to predict the future

Vanity
Everything is temporary

Yes, all is vanity
This line is a reminder that nothing lasts forever

Vanity
Everything is temporary

Yes, all's futility
The futility of trying to hold onto things is also temporary

For one that dies
Death is a reminder of the temporary nature of things

Another's born
Life goes on, even in spite of death

Where laughter's heard
Laughter is a sign of happiness

Comforters mourn
Even in the happiest times, there is sadness

There's a time for
Everything has its moment

A song for love
Love deserves to be celebrated

Even abhor
Even hate deserves recognition

An olive branch
This is a symbol of peace

Or winter's war
Winter is a time of conflict

There's a time for
Everything has its moment

Everything, under the sun
This is a reminder that everything has its time and place
