The Sun Will Rise
Embracing Hope: A Journey Through Darkness in Brendan James' 'The Sun Will Rise'
Lyrics
The sun will rise, the sun will save me.
The speaker anticipates a positive change symbolized by the rising sun, bringing salvation.
The sun will change me, change the way I feel.
The sun is expected to bring about a transformation in the speaker's emotions and perspective.
The day will make this hard of fortune,
The challenges faced will be difficult but are part of the speaker's fate or destiny.
From the fruit of a hundred orchards,
A metaphorical reference to a bountiful source, possibly experiences or opportunities.
From the water river's break.
Symbolic mention of a river's break, indicating a new beginning or change in direction.
The sun will rise, the sun will save me from the night.
The sun is seen as a savior from the darkness, providing relief and hope.
The sun will change me, change the way I feel.
The sun is expected to alter the speaker's emotional state positively.
I've had enough of the hard and harder,
Expressing weariness from difficulties faced, a desire for change.
Times are tough,
A general acknowledgment that times are tough.
I've drifted farther, farther from myself.
The speaker feels distanced from their true self, suggesting a personal struggle.
I won't dwell, baby, on my failures.
Commitment to not dwelling on past failures, emphasizing a forward-looking attitude.
It won't help, baby, it won't bring changes.
Recognition that focusing on failures won't lead to positive changes.
I won't run, baby, when all I want is to run.
Refusal to escape or avoid challenges, even when the desire is strong.
I won't forget the morning sure to come.
Assurance that the morning, a metaphor for a brighter future, will come.
The sun will rise, the sun will save me from the night.
Reiteration of the sun's role in saving from the darkness, emphasizing hope.
The sun will change me, change the way I feel.
Reaffirmation of the sun's power to bring positive change to emotions.
The love I want, the love I need is sure to come,
The speaker expresses a longing for love and a belief that it will come.
Is sure to lead me, lead me home again.
Confidence that love will guide the speaker back to a sense of home or belonging.
The light is low, the night is burning.
Setting a scene with low light and a burning night, possibly representing challenges.
My head is still, but my mind is turning, turning round again.
Physical stillness contrasts with mental turmoil, indicating inner struggles.
If only I could make it through this lonely night,
Expressing a desire to endure the night and overcome loneliness.
If I can do this, if I can drift away.
If the speaker can endure, there's hope for drifting away from current difficulties.
Then the sun will rise, the sun will save me from the night,
Reiteration of the sun's saving power, emphasizing its role in overcoming the night.
The sun will change me, change the way I feel.
Reaffirmation of the sun's ability to bring positive changes to emotions.
