The Sun
Yin - Yang Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

You could lose the shyness maybe
Whispering nothings in club rooms and taxi's
Smoke tastes so sweet
Promise to stay til the dawn
Oh the night's so naive
But I'm kinda feeling your intensity
It's got a liking for me

Both arms around my back
That's how you show that you got me
4am light through the blinds
Scatters while reading your mind
Tell me

Are you running from the heavy
Are you searching for her in me
You can do nothing when you got no hold on me

You love to be elusive
You keep the dream so lucid

Sun's coming up
Sun's coming up oh
Sun's coming up
Suns coming up oh
Suns coming up oh
Escape is so strong in this
There's nothing I can do

It's a little unhealthy
Memorise liquor's advice and I'm
Searching for dopamine
Looks like it's outside
Triggers like nicotine
Too bad that it wasn't him that could save me
Yeah he watched as the sun set, down

Both arms around my back
That's how I know that you got me
4am light through the blinds
Filtering thoughts in my mind
Let me
Hide myself in your soft sleeves
Bite my tongue until the stars leave
You can do nothing when you got no hold on me

You love to be elusive
You keep the dream so lucid

Sun's coming up
Sun's coming up oh
Sun's coming up
Sun's coming up oh
Sun's coming up oh
Escape is so strong in this
There's nothing I can do

Keep me in your company
Deal me in your dopamine

Keep me in your company
Deal me in your dopamine

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Yin - Yang's song "The Sun" portray a complex and intense romantic relationship. The song explores themes of passion, vulnerability, and the longing for escape. The opening lines suggest a sense of shyness being overcome as the singer delves into a late-night encounter filled with whispered confessions and the allure of tobacco smoke. The night is portrayed as naive, and the intensity of the other person's presence is both intriguing and captivating.

The chorus reveals a certain ambiguity, as the singer questions whether the other person is running from a burden or searching for someone else within their connection. This uncertainty is further emphasized by the line, "You can do nothing when you got no hold on me," implying a lack of control in the relationship. The idea of elusiveness and lucidity is central to this dynamic, as the other person is portrayed as someone who enjoys being mysterious and keeping the dream-like quality of their relationship intact.

The song suggests a desire for escape, symbolized by the rising sun. Despite recognizing the unhealthiness of their situation, the singer cannot resist the allure of this intense connection. The reference to memorizing the advice of liquor and searching for dopamine alludes to using escapism and substances to navigate the emotional complexities. Ultimately, the singer seeks refuge in the other person's presence and longs for the release of being consumed by their love.

Line by Line Meaning

You could lose the shyness maybe
Perhaps you can let go of your reservations

Whispering nothings in club rooms and taxi's
Engaging in meaningless conversations in noisy places

Smoke tastes so sweet
Indulging in pleasurable vices

Promise to stay til the dawn
Committing to being together until morning

Oh the night's so naive
The darkness is ignorant of the consequences

But I'm kinda feeling your intensity
Yet I am captivated by your passion

It's got a liking for me
I am attracted to its allure

Both arms around my back
You demonstrate your possessiveness

That's how you show that you got me
Asserting your control over me

4am light through the blinds
The faint morning light seeping into the room

Scatters while reading your mind
As I try to decipher your thoughts

Tell me
Please explain

Are you running from the heavy
Are you trying to escape your burdens

Are you searching for her in me
Are you seeking someone else within me

You can do nothing when you got no hold on me
Without control over me, you are powerless

You love to be elusive
You enjoy being mysterious

You keep the dream so lucid
You maintain a clear vision of the fantasy

Sun's coming up
The sunrise is approaching

Escape is so strong in this
The urge to run away is overwhelming

There's nothing I can do
I am helpless

It's a little unhealthy
This situation is somewhat detrimental

Memorise liquor's advice and I'm
Internalizing the guidance from alcohol

Searching for dopamine
Seeking pleasure and excitement

Looks like it's outside
Seems like the solution lies elsewhere

Triggers like nicotine
Stimuli that evoke strong cravings

Too bad that it wasn't him that could save me
Unfortunately, he couldn't rescue me

Yeah he watched as the sun set, down
He observed the sunset silently

Let me
Allow me

Hide myself in your soft sleeves
Conceal myself within your comforting embrace

Bite my tongue until the stars leave
Suppress my desires until the night sky fades

Deal me in your dopamine
Provide me with the thrill and pleasure

Keep me in your company
Maintain my presence by your side

Yin and Yang to me means that everything has a positive and negative side to it

For example knife
Knife is often see as something dangerous, a weapon

But from Yang's view, it's something to defend yourself or to cook food with
While from Yin's view, it's something lethal and dangerous

Yin Yang theory helps to broaden view on how we see things usually
A threat might be a chance

@namansharma5808

Similar concept in Hindusim about Ardhnareshwar..
Means we everything is balanced at it's core. We are composition of both male and female.

I personally believe
We need stormy and cloudy days to feel sunshine.
We need villains in movie to feel the hero (ofcourse this is based on perspective)
We need bad moments to enjoy the good one.
We need death to appreciate the life.

everyone has it's seed of the opposite side.

2:15 I know that it's depends on situation on something, but I thought in generally case "Male is Yang" and "Female is Yin".
Male are Yang, the strong and looks hard from outside. But they have the soft, kind, and wise part inside (like when they're with families or love circumstances)
Meanwhile, Female are Yin for their softness, kind, and beauty. But inside they're strong and tough in heart.

Suppress your urges and pay your bills on time always (yin), and have financial stability (yang).

Is it just me or does the yin and yang fit perfectly with the energy within atoms. Quarks. Up and down. In protons we have 2 up and 1 down. In neutrons we have 1 up and 2 downs.

If we follow thay thought connecting it to Daoism then instead of calling quarks an arbitrary name like up and down. We could explain it as Push and Pull energy.

Light being push energy and Dark being pull energy.

That within an individual atom is a relationship between Push and Pull, or 1 and 0.

Ying /yeen/ is a Chinese word also used to describe shade, like shade under a tree (su ying = tree shade). Yang (aaaalmost sounds like 'young' in English) is light or brightness. Tai yang means light from sun. To characterize these two, passive, softer, negative, and "feminine" qualities are considered ying. Shade is passive if that helps you remember. Then, the opposite qualities (active, strong, hard, positive, extrovert, "masculine") are assigned to yang. This is not to say women are always ying and men are yang. The idea is like physics, for every action there is a reaction. They are opposites, complements, they are transformative to become the other, and they are in a sense....equal. A rainstorm can lead to sunny green landscapes, for example.

Ålex Gämbïnø I agree the yin yang philosophy states balance how to opposites co-exists no matter how they are, they can stay very peacefully. One cannot coexist without the other because it break the yin yang cycle light is to dark as water is to fire. Keeping all this in mind, it reminds us that opposites can live in harmony. So I can live my own life my way as others can live their lives however they please. Chinese culture majority being atheist live by this simple philosophy and yet they seem to be the most optimistic people .. yin yang has always fascinated me growing up just now I’m starting to research more and more on the topic and I don’t regret it. To wrap up this long summary trust the world and all the changes it has to throw at you change is a natural occurrence and the worst we can do is fight change and cling to what we have.

Sorry, (almost) everyone, but no. You're still assigning the good/bad polarization to yang/yin when it has nothing to do with morals or any other human invention.
The "positivness" of yang can mean action, like creation (which we see as good), but it can also mean agression (which we see as bad). Yin is "negative" in the sense of stillness, like acceptance and adaptibility, or inactivity. They both manifest in ways we like to interpret in terms of good/bad, desirable/undesirable, and, ultimately, good/bad.
Daoism is much more a philosophy than a religion, because it is non-judgemental in it's essence, since it doesn't bother with human-centric (or any, for that matter) point of view.

In my opinion, it is about balancing the opposition. To avoid being extreme, choosing to be harmony and flexible can lead you to the unique destination for your only.

@joinhotliacult

i’ve always thought of my friend as my yang to my yin. she’s basically my motivation, like a magnetic force that makes me want to live life. she just radiates brightness so much because of her intense passion and ambitions. found out years later that she thinks of me as her yin to her yang because she finds comfort and peace because there is no expectation to live with constant happiness and time seems to be nonexistent when it comes to me.

truly, we balance each other.

we’re hips attached and people always notice it.

IvettaB ....that's not true ! you are dualising it ! that's a common misconception amongst Cultural Christian Westerners ....it's not a dualism at all. The Yin was first and is MORE important. The Yin CAN exist alone !! The Yang cannot exist alone , it needs the Yin to exist. The Yin is the Origin AND destination of the Yang. The Yin is the SUBSTRATE of the Yang. The Yin is pure Darkness/ Nothingness , yet within it is infinite potential. The Yin creates AND destroys at the same time , through the same action .......Solve et Coagula. It creates only to destroy , like Mephistophiles in the famouse German play called "Faust" . The thing that this Dark Yin creates and destroys is YANG. Everything you can perceive with your senses is Yang , all things , even space and time are Yang. The Yin is more akin to ENTROPY than any "thing".

Thank you for this wonderful video and explanation. Koreans call Taoism/Daoism 도교. Korean national flag is based on the philosophy of it. We can also find the spirit in Korean alphabet system. ㅏ and ㅗ are considered bright/yang. ㅜ and ㅓare considered dark/yin.
Each Korean word block has at least one consonant and one vowel. Consonant only or vowel only cannot be spelled. They need to come as a pair in harmony.

Wow, in Hinduism we have Kundalini the explains almost what yinyang says. Kundalini is said to be our brain and the spinal cord combined and has everything to do with how we understand the universe and how we are connected to it. There are three energy lines of Kundalini. The suryanadi or the sun-cord is the yang side and the chandranadi or the moon-cord is the yin side and the madhyamnadi or the ether-cord represents the tangible space that fills information that commands the working and existence of duality or yinyang.

I would add to this thought by definition which is complementary of this content. I think yin and yan are a search for equilibrium in our lives. Work is yin and leasure is yan. But you have to find pleasure in both. Both reach same goals which is accomplishment and satisfaction but one is obligatory to physically survive and progress in society. The other is necessary to ease the impact of the first in our live. Work can acheave many goals but is necessary to get the other. They are complementary and needed to bring peace inside.

I realized that everthing is infinity and zero at the same time, through my meditation sessions. We all strive towards what we love to be accomplish, which is an infinity, but it's just another zero because we can always keep improving towards another infinity. It's the process that matters, not the destination. It's amazing to me that the Chinese have already figured this out and explained it in a much better way than I could. Yang is infinity. Yin is zero. It's truly humbling. Everything is meaningful and meaningless at the same time.
