| Owl City – Sunburn Lyrics | 14 years ago |

When I listen to this song, I get the impression that he has always been a recluse too afraid to get out and experience the world. Then he met her and she was full of joy and energy and brought him out of his shell. He had all of these insecurities about himself, but she loved him and he realized his fears didn't matter any more. I've read a lot of comments on here that portray this sad interpretation of the lyrics that are all about regret and missing the past and loss, but I really think this is a happy song rather than a sad or regretful one. I think it's about learning to love and finding out who he really is and what that means--That his mistakes don't define him because love doesn't see him the way he was. When you are loved, your story is retold through grace. So I think this song expresses what that feels like when he realizes that he is more than the sum of his faults. That his past does not define him and that love does not hold anything against him. |
