The break of dawn kills all the beauty
The dead of night is drifting away
I should have stayed and welcome the day
I should have find the one and hide from the sun

The ray of light cuts like a razor
Breaking fire burst in my eye
The day reveals the dreadful betrayal
And its wicked mind, hide from the sun
Hide from the sun, hide from the sun

[Chorus:]
Dead promises
Raining from the world so cold
Ancient prophecies
Remain from the world so cold

The time has come
Hide from the sun

Like a rat I run to the darkness
Ray of light erases my mind
Afraid to look back into the heartless
World of dust and blood, hide from the sun
Hide from the sun, hide from the sun

[Chorus]

The time has come
Hide from the sun

I won't be better
I won't be a speeder
In my own heaven
I'll be gone forever
Oh no die never
I won't cry never
Oh no die never

[Chorus]

The time has come
Hide from the sun

    this is a greaat song! very strong lyrics and music!! i think The Rasmus went to the next level with this album! it's more serious, lyrics more mature and deeper than their past work i really loooove this album, but still I'm undecided between "Into" or "Hide From The Sun" can't pick one to be my favourite between them!

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere. In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
