Countdown

To me the big sun symbolizes the zenith of life, the height of youth, if you will. If you see the day cycle as the life cycle, it makes sense. Sunrise=Birth. Noon (big sun)= youth. Sunset=Declining years. Night=Death.

"Countdown unless you're juvenile let's go God bless your miss somewhere We're sick for the big sun It doesn't matter what you did and if you did it like you been told

True and everlasting that's what you want True and everlasting that's what you want

Don't say no your breakfast tears are gone Resist or let go, you're borderline withdrawn Down, unlit from the bottom there is a misfit Better than it looks, better than it looks Better than it looks, better than it looks

We're sick We're sick for the big sun We rumble and trip I realize that too"

I believe this to be an unapologetic paean to youth.

"Hear the lonesome bell, is this knowledge? Ask forgiveness you know somewhere You're fixed to an atom It doesn't matter what you did And if you did it right let's go

Cruel and everlasting that's what you want Cruel and everlasting that's what you want"

I sense a hint of regret. The writer recognizes the mistakes that were made and the people that may have been hurt.

"Don't say no your breakfast tears are wrong Do you remember when 21 years was old? Down unlit does it matters that you care the less? Better than it looks, better than it looks Better than it looks, better than it looks

We're sick We're sick for the big sun We rumble and trip I realize that too

True and everlasting, it didn't last that long... We're the lonesome, we're the lonesome yell True and everlasting, it didn't last that long..."

Time has past and the long life you thought you had ahead of you really isn't as long. You're old and lonesome.

In summary, I think this song is about the disappointment of adulthood as it is a reflection on youth.
