Back in the Sun
Union Youth Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You’ve got me and I get hurt
Don’t look back and bruise your eyes
You get married all the time
When you escape I’m broken and sad
Back in the sun
Facing the sky
I’m not worth it
Time goes by
All you’ve said and done
Will appear to someone
Because you know
I’m alone
Not alone
But alone
The lyrics to Union Youth's song Back in the Sun can be interpreted in a few different ways, but one possible interpretation is that the singer is addressing someone who has hurt them repeatedly. The idea of wearing a burning shirt could suggest that this person is dangerous or unpredictable, and the line "you've got me and I get hurt" implies that the singer feels trapped or controlled by them. When the singer tells them not to look back and bruise their eyes, it could be because they don't want this person to regret or feel guilty about their actions.
The line "you get married all the time" could suggest that this person is fickle or non-committal in their relationships, which leaves the singer feeling broken and sad when they try to escape that cycle. However, despite their pain, the singer is able to find some solace in being back in the sun and facing the sky. They may not feel like they are worth much in the eyes of this person or society as a whole, but they know that they are not truly alone. The final lines "all you've said and done will appear to someone because you know I'm alone, not alone but alone" could be interpreted as the singer acknowledging that their experiences may resonate with others who have gone through similar struggles, even if they feel isolated in the moment.
