When the Sun Comes Out
Embracing Sunshine: Unveiling a World Transformed
Lyrics
It's been raining for a million years
Expresses a long duration of continuous rain.
And the weather just won't turn
Despite the extended rain, the weather remains unfavorable.
Try to build a fire round your place
Attempting to create warmth around one's dwelling, but facing difficulty igniting the logs for a fire.
And the damned logs refuse to burn
The logs are stubborn and won't catch fire, hindering efforts to create warmth.
The brain dead have been sitting on their sunbeds
Individuals who lack intelligence or awareness are leisurely sunbathing.
Where's heaven for it's own sake
Questioning the existence or location of paradise.
Lying dead or half-forgotten
People who are deceased or largely forgotten.
At the bottom of a bottomless lake
Metaphorical imagery depicting a state of complete obscurity or irrelevance.
But when the sun comes out
Anticipating a significant shift or excitement when the sun finally appears.
The world's gonna go crazy
Expectation of widespread enthusiasm or frenzy when the sun emerges.
Everybody's gonna move their arms about
Imagery of people moving joyously, possibly dancing or celebrating.
Cause what they believed is turned inside-out
Their beliefs or expectations will be completely overturned or reversed.
When the sun comes out
Reiterating the anticipation of change or reversal when the sun appears.
It's been raining since I don't know when
Continuation of the extended rainy period, uncertain of its beginning.
We're all in for a big surprise
An indication that a surprise awaits everyone due to the continuous rain.
Go to the woods in your dreams tonight
Encouragement to engage in imaginative or surreal experiences.
And when you awake you won't believe your eyes
A promise that the experience upon awakening will be astonishing or unbelievable.
It's all the rage, it'll make the front page
Something extraordinary that will capture public attention.
Gotta get the gutter press going down the drain
Expressing a desire for tabloid journalism to decline or become irrelevant.
Butter melts if you leave it near the window
Illustrating the vulnerability of butter when exposed to heat.
And it's time to try and use a deckchair again
Suggesting the resumption of normal activities associated with good weather.
But when the sun comes out
Reiteration of the anticipation of change or excitement upon the sun's appearance.
When the sun comes out
Repeated anticipation of a transformative event with the sun's arrival.
His pa will be so disappointed
An expectation that a father would be disappointed to learn about a unique trait in his son.
To find out his son was double-jointed
A play on words about someone being flexible or having a surprising ability.
Some will flounder
Some will struggle or fail while others will be chosen or favored.
Some will be anointed
Some will receive special attention or recognition.
The son couldn't wait to do a turn-about
The son is eager to change or reverse a situation.
It's been raining but it's gonna stop
A declaration that the rain will cease soon.
Cats and dogs will shake themselves
Expressions for heavy rain to stop, metaphorically represented by animals shaking off water.
Time to work, time to pick those hops
Time to engage in productive activities, possibly referring to work or tasks.
I gotta go and mend the greenhouse shelves
Personal responsibility to repair or fix something damaged by the rain.
This was meant, well, it's all heaven-sent
Implying that the situation is fortunate or divinely orchestrated.
Go out naked and have no fear
A metaphorical encouragement to embrace vulnerability without fear.
One boy spent a little life in torment
A reference to someone who experienced considerable suffering in the past.
But now he's grinning from ear to ear
A portrayal of the person now being extremely happy or content.
Now he's grinning from here to here
Emphasizing the individual's current state of extreme happiness.
