Mr. Sunshine
Chronicles of a Clockwork Society: Thomas Giles' Mr. Sunshine Revealed
Lyrics
The countryside slides past by
The scenery outside moves swiftly.
The crowded thought, his story splashes over me
Intense thoughts and personal experiences overwhelm the narrator.
A certain smile, that brings you in
A captivating smile that draws you in.
A room, a meadow, a ravaged door
A location—perhaps a room, meadow, or a damaged entrance.
Bend and break
Action of bending and breaking, possibly symbolizing challenges or hardships.
We automate
The process of automation, suggesting a lack of personal control.
Drive me home
A plea or request to be taken home.
The children roam
Reference to children wandering freely.
Bend and break
Repetition of bending and breaking, reinforcing challenges.
We automate
Continued emphasis on automation and lack of personal agency.
Drive me home
Repeated request to be driven home.
The children roam in your head
The idea that children are roaming within one's thoughts.
A slot machine diary of a man
Comparing life to a slot machine, suggesting unpredictability.
He opened shop to a drifters hand
Someone opening a shop for those with no fixed home.
Take his money and run away
Encouragement to take advantage and escape with money.
The corpses will wash up every other day
A grim prediction that consequences will follow such actions.
We found your time
The discovery of one's time in a clockwork-like society.
Clockwork society
Reference to a society operating like clockwork, orderly but possibly rigid.
Bend and break
Reiteration of bending and breaking, emphasizing challenges.
We automate
Continued emphasis on automation, loss of personal control.
Drive me home
Repetition of the desire to be driven home.
The children roam
Children wandering in one's thoughts persistently.
Bend and break
Reiteration of challenges and automation.
We automate
Continued lack of personal agency, desire for guidance home.
Drive me home
Repetition of the plea to be driven home.
The children roam in your head
Persistence of children roaming within one's thoughts.
