The Avett Brothers – And It Spread Lyrics 13 years ago
The song is about love. Throughout the song, a metaphor of the sun is used to represent love (e.g. "light in the room", "coming back from space", cold when absent, warm when present). Lack of love leeds to bitterness and coldness that spreads to take over everything in your life--into your heart, and even into the words of the songs you write.

Then when love is found again (with another reference to the sun coming back from space), the new feelings spread in a similar way to positively affect everything in your world.
