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!!!

Ya This is definitely a song about Christ. I talked to the singer and he is a Very Religious Christian. He prays before every show that there music touches people living in darkness and who need something more in there life. He says he can stand in front of the Lord and be proud of his lyrics, because there is no lyrics going against him, the "Negative Lyrics" that they have are sharing stories of problems with the devil, but do not resemble there beliefs in any way. They are Christians, and I am almost positive that this song is...

I am soooo glad to hear that they are Chrisian! I am too and I am really new to them so I had wondered!! SOO glad! GOD BLESS THEM ALL!! I think the song is about Jesus Christ too

You are WRONG. The lead singer, Brad Arnold, said: "'Away From The Sun' is just about those days. A really important little short phrase is at the beginning of the chorus. It says, 'Now again I found myself so far down.' You know what I mean? It's like, yet again I've fallen. It's not like just once you're in a hole. It's like, here I am again. You watch the kid in the video, it's over and over, he's at the bottom again. It's like every time he crawls back up someone just pushes him down. And for about a two-to-three year...
