Sunshine
Embracing the Inevitable: Sparklehorse's Ode to Life's Transience
Lyrics
I opened my eyes
The narrator awakens.
And watched the sunshine
Observing the sunlight.
It had been out all night
The sun had been present throughout the night.
To relax and unwind
Implying the sun's purpose to unwind and relax.
There will come a time gigantic
Anticipating a significant future event.
Waves will crush the junk that I have saved
Symbolizes the destruction of possessions.
When the moon explodes or floats away
Contemplating a dramatic change in the universe.
I'll lose the souvenirs I made
Loss of personally significant items.
La la la
Non-lexical, possibly indicating emotion or resignation.
I lay down on the grass
Resting on the ground.
And let the insects do their thing
Allowing nature's small creatures to act naturally.
She covered me with wings and
Allusion to protection or care received.
Held my head and said 'poor thing'
Comforting words expressed by someone else.
There will come a time gigantic
Reiteration of impending monumental change.
Waves will crush the junk that I have saved
Reinforces the idea of losing material possessions.
When the moon explodes or floats away
Speculation about a cosmic alteration.
I'll lose the souvenirs I made
Reiterating the potential loss of personal mementos.
La la la
Repeated non-lexical expression, possibly conveying emotion.
