| Keane – Sunshine Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| Everyone's theories are interesting,but it surprised me that no one else had had the same thought as I did. When I heard "And only some dumb idiot/ Would let you go" and then "But if I'm one thing/ Then that's the one thing/ I should know" I took it to mean that yes, he's taking care of this thing or person, but he has to let them go - only an idiot would do it, but he's calling himself an idiot and realizing that he still has to go through with it. For me this song is about letting go of something you care dearly for and as such it's bittersweet. It's about losing and finding yourself and others, or losing and finding yourself through others. | |

Wow, what a complicated song. Well, to start... I agree that this song is probably about trying to tell someone something important. They can't say it and they know time is passing and they'll have to say it soon, but they can't make the words come out all at once and the way they want them to ("Instead I mumble randomly"). They're so stressed over this they lose sleep and/or have vivid nightmares, but they don't want to talk about what's bothering them to anyone, instead trying and failing to hide how troubled they are with a smile. Now here comes the hard part. The last five lines are the most confusing to me. Either what they saw at the "gigantic spree" is what's bothering them ("it haunts me") and that's what they want to talk about in the first place, or...They were going to confide in the other person because they've realized they're going to have to pay the price for what they have to say sooner or later ("He'll have you later cause it's never free") but they see something that makes them doubt that the other person can be trusted, and they have no idea what to do. |

These lyrics are wrong.According to all the others posted lyrics of this I've seen,it should be "Time can solve the mystery / but love is only temporary", "Loneliness doesn't make a sound / Till I head back underground", and "You're swimming faster than you know / But you can't fight the undertow". As for what they mean, I take this song to be about someone who was once in a relationship that went awry. They were in love but something went wrong and one left - moved away, moved on, etc. Years later, they meet up again, and this song is about their lost love, the loneliness of the person left behind, and that person's loss of delusionment - they see the person they used to love and wonder why they did, and it confuses them. The returning person may or may not be trying to say "I've changed, but I still care for you", but the other person wants nothing to do with them now, hence the "Maybe I'll just say good-bye..." The returning person is regretting coming back because things didn't turn out as they planned. |
