SUNSET
Yuna The Internet Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Mind's in disarray
So are my clothes
As I undress
And pick an outfit for this sunny day
Cause it's okay
I attempt
Cause it's okay
Cause as long as the sun is rising
We can get up, and brighten
Somebody's day
I'm shinin' bright as the rays
Inside my soul
So, maybe you feel it
Maybe you don't
Maybe you love it
Maybe you won't
Maybe the sunshine isn't enough
To heal your pain
So, maybe you play
Or maybe you fold
Baby you stay
Baby go
Maybe you touch me
I'll be afloat
Or maybe we'll stop somewhere down the road
Put on some headphones, sit at my home
Watchin' the sun set
Shed its good light on me, yeah
I obsess
Over things that shouldn't matter
But they do
And it affects me
In the worst possable way
But it's okay
We forget
What a big part all the little things can play
And that's okay
Cause as long as the sun is rising
We can get up, and brighten
Somebody's day
I'm shinin' bright as the rays
Inside my soul
The song “Sunset” by The Internet is a contemplative reflection on life, optimism, and finding joy in the little things. The opening lines of the song suggest a state of disarray: “Life’s a mess; mind’s in disarray; so are my clothes as I undress and pick an outfit for this sunny day.” Despite this chaos, the singer attempts to maintain a sense of positivity, acknowledging that life is okay despite its challenges. The chorus repeats the sentiment that as long as the sun is rising, there is hope for a brighter day, and that we have the power to bring light into someone else’s life.
The second verse reveals the singer’s tendency to obsess over things that “shouldn’t matter,” but ultimately recognizing that it’s okay to forget about these worries and focus on the present moment. The bridge of the song suggests that while the singer’s optimism may not be for everyone, they can still find joy in music, nature, and the beauty of a sunset.
Overall, “Sunset” is a relatable and introspective song that encourages listeners to find beauty and hope in the midst of life’s difficulties.
Line by Line Meaning
Life's a mess
Everything is chaotic and uncertain
Mind's in disarray
My thoughts are scattered and unorganized
So are my clothes
My physical appearance is also unkempt
As I undress
Getting dressed for the day is a task
And pick an outfit for this sunny day
Choosing what to wear outside feels like a small accomplishment on this otherwise confusing day
Cause it's okay
Despite everything feeling like a mess, it's alright
I attempt
I try
Not to let my optimism slip away
To hold onto positivity and hopefulness, and not let it falter
Cause as long as the sun is rising
As long as there is a new day and new opportunities
We can get up, and brighten
We can encourage and uplift others
Somebody's day
Make someone else's day a little brighter and better
I'm shinin' bright as the rays
I'm radiating positivity and happiness from within
Inside my soul
I feel good within myself
So, maybe you feel it
Maybe you can relate to this feeling too
Maybe you don't
Maybe you've never felt this way before
Maybe you love it
Maybe you appreciate and enjoy this feeling
Maybe you won't
Maybe you don't understand it or don't like it
Maybe the sunshine isn't enough
Maybe a bright and sunny day isn't enough to make things feel better
To heal your pain
To ease the emotional or physical pain you may be feeling
So, maybe you play
Maybe you distract yourself with something enjoyable
Or maybe you fold
Maybe you give up and let your feelings consume you
Baby you stay
Maybe you stick around and seek out support
Baby go
Maybe you distance yourself to heal or find a new perspective
Maybe you touch me
Maybe we connect and help support each other
I'll be afloat
Together, we can stay afloat and keep going
Or maybe we'll stop somewhere down the road
Maybe we will take a break from everything and reset, or explore a new direction
Put on some headphones, sit at my home
Relaxing and disconnecting at home
Watchin' the sun set
Reflecting on the day as it comes to a close
Shed its good light on me, yeah
Feeling the peace and beauty of a sunset
I obsess
I fixate
Over things that shouldn't matter
Over things that seem insignificant in the grand scheme of things
But they do
But they have an impact on me
And it affects me
And it takes a toll on my wellbeing
In the worst possable way
Negatively affecting my mood and outlook on life
We forget
We lose sight of
What a big part all the little things can play
The small things in life can have a significant impact
And that's okay
Any feelings or reactions we have are valid and acceptable
