Lyrics

The one, who sings around the sun

The person who orbits around success or positivity.

Cannot be bothered with the dark

Doesn’t pay attention to difficulties or hardships.

The reason exits with the light

Logic and purpose are evident when things are going well.

The one, the sun, the night

Referring to the person, the sun, and the challenges of night/darkness.


Begins, until trouble ends

A cycle begins and continues until problems are resolved.

I speak if only to explain

Speaking only to clarify or justify, perhaps due to pressure.

And no one here

There's a lack of understanding or empathy in the current environment.

Has lost his mind

No one present is mentally unstable.

Intentions are enough

Intentions alone are deemed sufficient.


The one, I love full of trust

Referring to a beloved person with trust.

They think the answer lies with me

Others believe this person has the solution or answers.

But I am powerless to stop

Despite care or love, unable to prevent the world from controlling.

The world from holding me

Feeling trapped or restrained by circumstances.

In place, the tower of it all

All-encompassing structure or system that restricts or defines life.

It is the cloud that hangs for days

A persistent gloom or obstacle.

It is a giant in the tree

An imposing force or influence.

The wind, the neck of me

Metaphorically, external forces controlling or limiting.


We live as many others live

We lead lives similar to many others.

The fear of dying incomplete

Fear of dying without achieving personal fulfillment.

Feeling the fair will tear apart

Sense of the danger of being torn apart emotionally.

And turn and worn, start

To revolve, restart, or refresh.


The one, who sings around the sun

Repetition of the idea presented in line 1.

Cannot be bothered with the dark

Reiterating the disregard for difficulties while focusing on positivity.

He's underserving of the light

The person doesn’t deserve the good times or success.


The one, the sun, the night

Rephrasing the idea of the person, the sun, and the challenges of night.


The one, the sun, the night

Repetition emphasizing the trio of the person, the sun, and the night.


The one, the sun, the night

Reiteration, emphasizing the trio's significance.
