Sunstroke
Navigating Shadows: Unraveling the Enigma of 'Sunstroke'
Lyrics
They tell me you walk on the water now
Expressing disbelief or skepticism about someone's extraordinary abilities or virtues.
I know who showed you the stones
Suggesting awareness of the source of the person's alleged exceptional qualities.
You pray that I banish my appetite and lie there alone
Referring to a request for self-discipline and control, possibly in the context of a relationship.
I hope that you've practiced your instrument
Encouraging someone to hone their skills, possibly an artistic or musical instrument.
I fear it will take you away
Expressing concern that improvement may lead to separation or change.
You ain't the type to be traveling, so why not just stay
Questioning the person's inclination to travel and suggesting they should stay put.
Here it is morning for some folks
Describing different times of the day for different individuals.
And twilight for those of us left
Highlighting the contrast between those who sleep and soldiers enduring sunstroke.
Who sleep while the soldiers get sunstroke
Suggesting the hardships faced by soldiers, potentially in a war or challenging situation.
And make little fools of ourselves
Acknowledging foolish actions in difficult circumstances.
Are we supposed to get good at this?
Raising questions about the purpose of becoming proficient in a particular skill or situation.
What does it mean to give up?
Reflecting on the meaning of surrender or giving up.
Why did I call you? I shouldn't be giving a fuck
Expressing regret about caring or being emotionally invested in a situation.
Answer these questions for everyone
Requesting answers to existential questions on behalf of everyone.
So maybe they'll stop asking me
Expressing a desire for others to provide explanations to stop inquiries.
What really happened and where is your masterpiece?
Pondering the whereabouts of a significant creation or achievement.
Here it is morning for some folks
Reiteration of different times for different individuals.
And twilight for those of us left
Reinforcing the contrast between those who surrender to sunstroke dangers and others.
Who give up the dangers of sunstroke
Choosing to avoid the risks associated with sunstroke.
And make little fools of ourselves
Acknowledging foolishness in avoiding certain dangers.
They tell me you walk on the water now
Repetition of disbelief in someone's extraordinary abilities.
But I know who showed you the stones
Reiteration of awareness regarding the source of exceptional qualities.
I need some things to look forward to
Expressing a need for positive expectations in life.
Maybe these colors will fade
Anticipating the fading of vibrant or intense experiences.
I never meant to get bored with you
Acknowledging unintentional boredom in a relationship.
But I never meant to stay
Expressing an unintended commitment or prolongation of a situation.
