Sunflower
X.T.X. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I know that this road that I've been following
That I was hoping would lead to love
Is not the straight and narrow path that You've shown me
I know now that the road that I was going down actually leads to death
Father I don't want to do anything that would be against Your will
Or to ever mess up the relationship that I could have with the woman that You've set apart for me
So Father as Your Word says in Psalms
Test me and know my anxious thoughts
Point out anything in me that offends you, and lead me along the path of everlasting life
LORD I don't know where this goes
But I know sometimes when things are dark things seem better
So Father I thank You for being that Light
You know it all looks better
You know it all looks better in the dark
You know it all looks better in the dark
You know all looks better
You know it all looks better in the dark
You know it all looks better in the dark
In the dark, it's looks better
You know that it all looks better
In the dark, it may look better
You know that it all looks better
That in the dark things look better
You know that it all looks better
In the dark, it may look better
You know that it all looks better
Oh in the dark
All looks better in the dark
Aye what's good SAINT
Aye bro, call me back when you get this
I really think I found the one, a godly women too but man I'll try you back later
Alright bro, peace
In the song "Sunflower" by X.T.X., the lyrics reflect the artist's struggle with the path he has been following in his search for love. He begins the song by addressing God, acknowledging that he has been mistakenly following a path that leads to death rather than the straight and narrow path that God has shown him. X.T.X. acknowledges his desire to do what is right in the eyes of God and to not ruin the potential relationship with the woman that God has set apart for him. The artist displays vulnerability and a willingness to surrender himself to God by asking for God's guidance. He asks God to search and know his heart, test him, and point out anything that may be offensive to God, to ultimately lead him along a path of everlasting life. The artist recognizes God as the light that guides him through dark times.
Furthermore, the repeated lines, "You know it all looks better in the dark," suggest that the artist might find comfort in the unknown or in the less illuminated moments of his life. These lines might refer to the artist's personal journey in finding love or his struggles with his faith. It is also suggested that the artist is using his faith and relationship with God to navigate these struggles.
The song displays deep introspection and an acknowledgement of one's personal struggles with faith and love, and how one can use their faith to guide them through those situations.
