A Black Sun
Echoes of Childhood Dreams Under a Black Sun
Lyrics
When I was a child, my life seemed endless
Reflecting on the boundless feeling of life during childhood.
Too far to see when I was a child
The future was distant and unclear during childhood.
The world was waiting and called to me
The world held possibilities and beckoned to the speaker.
And everyone I loved would live for eternity
Belief that loved ones would live forever.
And everything I dreamed would all
Hopeful anticipation of dreams coming true.
Come true for me
Expressing optimism about the realization of dreams.
But now I feel the end come
Sensing the approach of an ending.
My childish dreams are undone
Realization that childhood dreams are unraveling.
I cry under a black sun
Expressing sorrow or despair under a metaphorical 'black sun.'
And every song is unsung
Highlighting the incomplete nature of life's songs.
You will hear me when the wind sighs
Symbolic communication through the sound of the wind.
Oh, you will feel me beside you always
Assurance of a continued presence in spirit.
Oh, you won't see me, but I’ll be with you
Emphasizing an unseen but enduring connection.
When I was a child, all love was painless
Describing love as painless in childhood.
No tears to cry when I was a child
No sorrowful experiences during the speaker's childhood.
I played the hero who held the sky
Playing the role of a heroic figure in childhood fantasies.
But now I hold you and love
The intensity of love is overwhelming in the present.
Is more than I can bear
The burden of love is difficult to bear.
And when I think of you
Reflecting on the emotional weight when thinking of a loved one.
Love becomes a pain to share
Love becomes a challenging experience to share.
But I hear loss calling
Perceiving the call of loss.
And this is pain talking
Acknowledging the expression of pain.
And I am fear walking
Facing and embodying fear.
And these are tears falling
Tears as a physical manifestation of emotion.
You will hear me when the wind sighs
Reiteration of a spiritual presence through the wind's sound.
Oh, you will feel me beside you always
Assurance of an enduring companionship in spirit.
Oh, you won't see me, but I'll be with you
Reiterating an unseen but lasting connection.
