The Sun Will Find Us
Escape the Shadows: Pridelands' Poetic Reflection on Desperation
Lyrics
Don’t you feel like there might be a place to escape to?
Expressing a desire for an escape or refuge
Somewhere for you outside?
Seeking a place external to one's current situation
It’s not like you really wanted this to happen
Implying the undesirability of the current circumstances
You didn’t want this, right?
Questioning if the current situation was not preferred
There’s a place where the light fades that I can escape to
Describing a place away from brightness or positivity
It takes me far away at night
Escaping to this distant place especially at night
Retreat when I see it coming, just to breathe and all I see is
Retreating to avoid something, focusing only on survival
Mothers leaving children, hanging by their toes
Illustrating a distressing scene of abandonment
Upside down, inside out, tell me how can your eyes stay closed?
Questioning how one can ignore such distressing situations
Poisonous hands that feed, depraving those who need you
Depicting harmful actions of those who should provide
We have defected from silence; from all we know
Expressing a departure from silence and the known
Missing children, hanging by their toes
Repetition emphasizing the distressing imagery
Upside down, inside out, tongues tied, blackened eyes, deathly throes
Describing a state of extreme distress and suffering
Blindfolded, keep your finger pointed outwards, heathen
Admonishing to blame others instead of introspection
We remain deluded, misconstrued
Highlighting a collective misunderstanding
I don’t want to wait to be asphyxiated, no
Expressing unwillingness to wait for suffocation
I’d rather be suffering with you than on my own
Preferencing suffering together over suffering alone
Do you feel like you’re suffocating under the mess you’ve made?
Suggesting feeling overwhelmed by self-created chaos
What was in the holy water you imbibed?
Raising doubt about the purity of something considered sacred
To me it all tastes the same
Perceiving everything as equally unpleasant or tainted
We need to hide,
Advocating hiding to avoid a perceived threat
Because the sun will find us
Stating the inevitability of facing consequences
We need to hide
Reiterating the necessity of hiding
Because the sun will find us here
Emphasizing the certainty of being found by the sun
I don’t wanna wait to be asphyxiated
Reiterating the unwillingness to wait for suffocation
I would rather suffer here with you
Choosing shared suffering over isolation
I don’t wanna wait to be asphyxiated
Repeating the unwillingness to wait for suffocation
I would rather suffer
Preferencing suffering over a passive state
Mothers leaving children, hanging by their toes
Recalling the distressing scene of mothers leaving children
Upside down, inside out, tell me how can your eyes stay closed?
Reiterating the question of ignoring distressing situations
Poisonous hands that feed, depraving those who need you
Reemphasizing the harm caused by those in a position to help
We have defected from silence; from all we know
Highlighting departure from familiarity and silence
Missing children, hanging by their toes
Repeating the distressing image of missing children
Upside down, inside out, tongues tied, blackened eyes, deathly throes
Describing a state of extreme suffering and helplessness
Blindfolded, keep your finger pointed outwards, heathen
Advising blame on others and maintaining ignorance
We remain deluded, misconstrued
Reiterating a collective misunderstanding or misinterpretation
