You're Not My Sunrise
Breaking Dawn: Amanda Rohling's Emotive Tale of Liberation
Lyrics
You're not my sunrise
Repetition emphasizes the rejection of the person as a positive, uplifting force in the speaker's life.
You're not my sunrise
-You're not my sunrise
-They say the sun is faithful
Comparing the person to the faithful sun, highlighting their consistent negativity and destructive behavior.
To come up every day
-But you are only faithful
-To mess up every way
Expressing frustration with the person's destructive actions and refusing to participate in their harmful games.
Mess up, mess up
-Ain't gon' play your game
-My mind is settled
Declaring a decision to move on because the person is not deemed worthy of the emotional pain caused.
Cause you're not worth the pain
-You're not my sunrise
Reiteration of the rejection, emphasizing the speaker's independence and the person's lack of significance.
You're not my shining light
-I have my own life
-You're not my sunrise
-They say the sun's reliable
Contrasting the person's reliability negatively with the reliability of the sun, suggesting inconsistency and self-righteousness.
Comes to bed at night
-I'm finding you're reliable
-When you decide you're right
-But you're wrong, you're wrong
Asserting the person's wrongness and the inevitable consequences they will face, accepting the damage caused.
And you're gon' lose this one
-And as I lie here by myself
-Know the damage is done
-You're not my sunrise
Reaffirmation of the rejection and self-sufficiency, emphasizing the person's insignificance in the speaker's life.
You're not my shining light
-I have my own life
-You're not my sunrise
-You're not my sunrise (No no no no)
Continued emphasis on the rejection, using repetition to drive home the point.
You're not my sunrise (No)
-You're not my sunrise (No no no no)
-You're not my sunrise
Reiteration of the speaker's self-sufficiency and the person's lack of influence, with a strong rejection in the chorus.
You're not my shining light
-I have my own life
-You're not my sunrise (No no no no no no)
-You're not my sunrise
Emphasizing the speaker's ownership of their life and the person's exclusion from the positive aspects of it.
You're not my shining light
-You're not my sunrise (Own life)
-You're not my, you're not my sunrise
-You're not my sunrise (No no no no)
Final reinforcement of the rejection, rejecting the person as a sunrise and emphasizing their absence in the speaker's life.
