Sunburn is a truly great song with the deepest of lyrics which are not so easy to miss, even though most do.
It's about the deceptive internal system resulting in a life of mediocrity that eventually overwhelms each of us as a result of lies/deception, necessarily promoting a debilitating 'guilty conscience' which slowly destroys us from within and also our surrounding relationships.
"Come waste your millions here, Secretly she sneers"
"She" is such internal deception feeding person's greed - wasting everything in trying to reach the unattainable (lie) - via grabbing that "new gadget" - or whatever deceptively promises happiness. So a "guilty conscience grows" within, which "burns (me) like the sun", but even though "she'll burn our horizons make no mistake", yet we "can't look away" to save ourself. So we "never dare" "to break these endless lies" by letting "the truth be shared" - even with self.
Eventually, we "can't face the shame" so "hide from the world Behind a broken frame" (of myself) - and "burn forever"
