Source of the Sun
Chasing Light: Unveiling the Meaning in The Green Sisters' 'Source of the Sun'
Lyrics
Through the window I can hear the world arising
Observing the world waking up through the window.
Is it for or from the day that we all run?
Questioning whether the world's activity is for or from the day.
Have you left your mind elsewhere and wandered aimlessly
Asking if the listener's mind is absent and wandering aimlessly.
Searching for the source of the sun?
Searching for the origin or inspiration of the sun.
Isn't it true there's more beauty in the light?
Contemplating the idea that there is more beauty in light.
Isn't it true there's more blues in the night?
Suggesting that there is more sadness (blues) in the night.
I don't want to see the sadness
Expressing a desire to avoid witnessing sadness.
So take my hand and run
Inviting someone to hold hands and run away from sadness.
Be the source of the sun
Encouraging the listener to be a positive force, the source of happiness.
Before you were born there was a darkness
Reflecting on a pre-birth state of darkness and solitude.
A safe place, but you were alone
Describing the darkness as a safe but lonely place.
Now we run about with hearts full of life and love
Contrasting the past with the current vibrant life, searching for meaning.
Searching for the source of the sun
Continuing the quest for the source or purpose of the sun.
Isn't it true there's more beauty in the light?
Reiterating the idea that beauty is found in light.
Isn't it true there's more blues in the night?
Reiterating that sadness (blues) is more present in the night.
I don't want to see the sadness
Expressing a reluctance to witness or experience sadness.
So take my hand and run
Repeating the call to run away from sadness while holding hands.
Be the source of the sun
Reiterating the encouragement to be a positive force, the source of the sun.
Nah I don't want to see the sadness
Affirming the desire to avoid witnessing sadness.
So take my hand and run
Repeating the call to run away from sadness while holding hands.
Be the source of the sun
Reiterating the encouragement to be a positive force, the source of the sun.
I said now you should be the source of the sun
Emphasizing the importance of being the source of the sun.
(One more time, boy) be the source of the sun
Encouraging once more to be the source of the sun.
