Ain't No Sunshine
Eternal Shadows: Unveiling the Emotion Behind 'Ain't No Sunshine'
Lyrics
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
Absence of happiness when she is not present
It's not warm when she's away
The atmosphere is not comforting when she is away
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
Reiteration of the emotional void when she's gone
And she's always gone too long
She remains absent for extended periods
Anytime she goes away
Every time she departs, it brings a sense of loss
Wonder this time where she's gone
Curious about her whereabouts this time
Wonder if she's gone to stay
Speculating whether her absence is permanent
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
Highlighting the emptiness felt when she's not around
And this house just ain't no home
The house lacks warmth and comfort without her
Anytime she goes away
Reiteration of the emotional impact of her departure
And I know, I know, I know, I know
Intensifying the singer's awareness of her absence
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know
-I know, I know, I know, I know, I know
-I know, I know, I know, I know, I know
-I know, I know, I know, I know, I know
-I know, I know
Acknowledging the need to avoid involvement with a young person
Hey, I oughta leave young thing alone
Expressing a realization that being with a young person might not be wise
But ain't no sunshine when she's gone
Despite the realization, the emotional impact persists
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
Reiterating the emotional void in her absence
Only darkness every day
Emphasizing the pervasive darkness without her
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
Highlighting the ongoing sense of loss when she's gone
And this house just ain't no home
Reiterating the impact of her absence on the home
Anytime she goes away
Re-emphasizing the emotional toll of her departures
Anytime she goes away
Underlining the recurring nature of her departures and the associated emotional emptiness
Anytime she goes away
-Anytime she goes away
