Disappointed In The Sun Lyrics
Who could tell the story better
About the things that I went through
Some were great but most were terrifying
And so spooky too
Had to get out of there, to hide away
Had to get out of there, to find my way
I troubled everything too soon
Now where I want to be is...
Need I say my only wish was
To escape my earthly life
High skies were no option whereas
Diving deep in oceans wide
Was the way for me, to hide away
A possibility, to leave today
I troubled everything too soon
Now where I want to be is...
Under the sea, is where I'll be
No talking 'bout the rain no more
I wonder what thunder will mean, when only in my dream
the lightning comes before the roar
Circumstancial situations, now I know what people meant
Beware of the implications, God I've had enough of them
Decided to be brave and hide away
Just picking out a wave and slide away
I troubled everything too soon
Now where I want to be is...
Maybe taking it another hour then taking away the pain
I troubled everything too soon, now where I want to be is...
Under the sea, is where I'll be
No talking 'bout the rain no more
I wonder what thunder will mean, when only in my dream
The lightning comes before the roar
Under the sea, down here with me I find I'm not the only one
Who ponders what life would mean if we hadn't been
So disappointed in the sun
And that's why we're thinking,
That's why we're drinking in a bar under the sea
About the things that I went through
Some were great but most were terrifying
And so spooky too
Had to get out of there, to find my way
I troubled everything too soon
Now where I want to be is...
To escape my earthly life
High skies were no option whereas
Diving deep in oceans wide
A possibility, to leave today
I troubled everything too soon
Now where I want to be is...
No talking 'bout the rain no more
I wonder what thunder will mean, when only in my dream
the lightning comes before the roar
Beware of the implications, God I've had enough of them
Just picking out a wave and slide away
I troubled everything too soon
Now where I want to be is...
I troubled everything too soon, now where I want to be is...
No talking 'bout the rain no more
I wonder what thunder will mean, when only in my dream
The lightning comes before the roar
Under the sea, down here with me I find I'm not the only one
Who ponders what life would mean if we hadn't been
So disappointed in the sun
That's why we're drinking in a bar under the sea

I think it's pretty clear that this song is about what many people experience when they face misunderstanding and go through hard times because of their difference from others.
"Decided to be brave and hide away" - so shameful but true!
I like that the song has a happy ending. The person finally finds people who understand him. I also like the line "so disappointed in the sun".
I think the song might be a reference to Beatles' "Yellow Submarine", but it's only an assumption.
The protagonist is contemplating his suicide as a method to escape the problems associated with his "earthly life". Taking a leap is not his method, but drowning seems more appealing. The whole song talks of this and him tolerating maybe just one more hour then he'll drink at a bar under the sea".
He lacks the courage to commit suicide which ironically is seen by most as a cowardly thing to do.
