Setting Sun
Chasing Shadows: A Journey of Resilience in 'Setting Sun' by The Prescriptions
Lyrics
I am a setting sun
I feel like my time of prominence or significance is ending.
I am a setting sun
Reiteration of the sentiment that the speaker is becoming less prominent or relevant.
And I'm going down
Expressing a descent or decline in a metaphorical sense.
I am searching for ways
Actively seeking solutions or paths to remain relevant or important.
I am searching for ways
Reiteration of the speaker's quest to find ways to stay significant.
To stay above ground
Desiring to remain afloat or above challenges and difficulties.
I've been on the fall and I've
Having experienced setbacks (fall) and successes (rise).
Seen the rise
Acknowledging the ups and downs of life.
I'm hanging on like I should
Persisting and enduring as one should despite challenges.
Lying in the background every night
Remaining unnoticed or in the background, contemplating every night if something valuable is lost.
Are you gone for good?
Questioning if a significant person or element is permanently gone.
I shine through rain
Enduring difficulties and still shining or standing out.
I shine through the rain
Reiteration of resilience and ability to persevere through challenges.
And blue up the sky
Creating beauty or impact despite difficult circumstances.
I feel the same way
Experiencing the same emotions or struggles repeatedly.
I feel the same way
Reiterating a consistent emotional state over time.
All the damn time
Feeling a certain way consistently and frequently.
I've been on the fall and I've
Having faced setbacks and successes in life.
Seen the rise
Acknowledging the cyclical nature of life's challenges and successes.
I'm hanging on like I should
Persevering and holding on despite life's difficulties.
Lying in the background every night
Remaining unnoticed or in the background, contemplating every night if something valuable is lost (repeated).
Are you gone for good?
Questioning if a significant person or element is permanently gone (repeated).
You want me to stay
Expressing a desire for a lasting connection or relationship.
You want me to stay
Reiteration of the desire for a long-lasting connection or relationship.
With you for all time

But you forgot to say
