The Sun
finnigan and brother Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Morning sun peaks through the curtains
Stealing glimpse of every curve you hold
Throwing rainbows on the walls like
Light reflecting, begging for your soul
Traced in pencil a lipstick napkin
Tโ€shirt pocket with kisses that I've stole
Sweet soft memories in the foldings
With my eyes closed I never let you go
Sometimes impossible, to love someone like you
Somewhat inapplausable to love you like I do
Keep your shirt on this will be easy
I won't ask you to be anything
Such a turn on you being your own way
I won't ask you to change anything
Breathe you in and sing you gracefully
If to touch you I could grow new wings
If you see me, eyes closed wavering
Meditating, I met you in a dream




Sometimes impossible, to love someone like you
Somewhat inapplausable to love you like I do

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Finnegan and Brother's "The Sun" express the duality of a relationship, where one person is perceived as bringing light and warmth to the other's life but is also responsible for their darkest impulses. The lyrics start with the line "You're the devil in me I brought in from the cold", indicating that the person being addressed is someone who brings out a darker side in the singer.


The next line, "You said your body was young but your mind was very old", suggests that this person has a wisdom beyond their years and perhaps has experienced things that have aged them beyond their physical appearance. The singer is conflicted because they are drawn to this person's strong and forceful personality ("You're coming on strong and I like the way"), but they also recognize that the visions they once shared have faded away.


The repeated refrain of "I'll tell you that it's just too bad" emphasizes the singer's regret and sorrow for what could have been. They recognize that this person is a part of a life they've never had and perhaps never will ("You're part of a life I've never had"). The final lines "You're showing your color like a setting sun" suggest that this person is making a powerful impression on the singer, but that their time together may be coming to an end.


Overall, the lyrics of "The Sun" are a complex exploration of a relationship that is both beautiful and difficult, full of light and darkness. The singer recognizes the positive qualities of the person they are addressing but also acknowledges the negative impact they have had on their life.

We also gotta appreciate all the multiple owners that this car had that kept it in tip top shape and hadn't decided to change anything! Everyone involved in this story is amazing.

@FishFingerConnoisseur No I think its the original family just because of the documentation on the web site. But it was definitely produced/edited by GM. Which is not a bad thing.

Carbon Proksi

Yeah, seems too polished a vid to be genuine.

@cheesesteakphilly It's an interview relieving how it happened. Maybe REENACTMENT?
