| 3 Doors Down – Away From The Sun Lyrics | 21 years ago |

This song is great. It seems to me that the word "sun" actually has two meanings in this song. When he talks about living life "Away From the Sun" it has a double meaning. He is saying that living life without Jesus, the Son of God, is like living in darkness (away from the Son/sun). In John 8:12, Jesus says "I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life". That's what this song is talking about - how dark and depressing his life is when living away from the Son/sun. Then he talks about how the light (provided by Jesus, the Son of God) guides him "back into the arms that care about the ones like me". He is talking about how the light of Jesus leads him back into the arms of God, where he finds comfort. Isaiah 40:11 says that God, "... tends his flock like a shepherd: He gathers the lambs in his arm and carries them close to his heart;" That is the picture I think of when he talks about finding his way "back into the arms that care about the ones like me". Great song!!! |
