Here Comes Sunshine
Embracing Rays of Hope: Decoding the Meaning Behind Grateful Dead's 'Here Comes Sunshine'
Lyrics
Wake of the flood, laughing water, forty-nine
Reference to a positive change or renewal after a challenging period (symbolized by "Wake of the flood")
Get out the pans
An invitation to prepare for something valuable or rewarding ("Get out the pans")
Don't just stand there dreaming
An encouragement to take action instead of passively dreaming
Get out the way, get out the way
An urging to move aside or remove obstacles ("Get out the way")
Here comes sunshine here comes sunshine
Celebration of a positive, joyful event or presence ("Here comes sunshine")
Line up a long shot
Suggesting taking a risk or attempting a challenging task
Maybe try it two times, maybe more
Encouragement to try again, possibly after initial failure
Good to know you got shoes to
Being prepared for success with suitable equipment or attributes
Wear when you find the floor
Being ready for stability or a solid foundation ("Wear when you find the floor")
Why hold out for more?
Questioning the need to wait for more when contentment is already present
Here comes sunshine here comes sunshine
Reiteration of the anticipation and arrival of positivity ("Here comes sunshine")
Asking you nice, now
Pleasantly asking for cooperation or continuation of a positive state
Keep the mother rolling one more time
Encouraging the continuation of a positive momentum or experience
Been down before but you just don't
Acknowledging past challenges but emphasizing the choice not to dwell on them
Have to go no more, no more
Expressing the freedom from the need to face further difficulties
Here comes sunshine here comes sunshine
Reiteration of the arrival of positivity ("Here comes sunshine")
