I think it's about someone sleeping, daydreaming, the sun is a memory of someone, very strong, almost real, maybe painful when u look at it for too long? In short it's like the sun.

Looks just like the sun, looks just like you Looks just like the sun, looks just like it Well, he looks just like the sun, looks just like you

suddenly he wakes up, possibly afraid, at least he's nervous, I think that's why there's the gun in this sentence, it's more like a metaphor of his state of mind. Next lines are clearly about what does he see when he's up. The reality is catching up with him. But still he remembers his dream...

But I'm breathing, thinking one.... Heart is pounding in his chest reaches suddenly for his gun ship is sailing in the west Flower that could be his fun.... Tree of families on his head weary red split open eyes I'm on the corner thinking about my bed bla bla something signifies(?)..... Turning back, you know I thought I knew, thought I knew someone

He can't forget about this person, and the memory returns to him just like the sun does when it comes up gold and goes down red every day. He cannot forget it, it's just so important, like the sun is when it shines on us every day.

Gold and red the colours change as you can't forget Turning back, you know I thought I knew, thought I knew someone You better check your words, I think it's time you left.

The memory leaves him, but he feels empty, dark inside. It's obvious that his in suffering to everyone else, even to him, and it's like that... until the memory returns, just like the sun after the night. I think it's safe to assume that the memory keeps him alive, just like sun gives life to earth.

To he, darkness still it's obvious to everyone darkness still, its obvious to everyone still it's obvious to every, well it looks just like the sun looks just like it

So I think it's about about someone who still loves someone whom he had lost. The memory pains him, but at the same time sustains him.
