Down With the Sun Lyrics

This song, I feel, represents the personification of the night. The writer here describes the night as a mother figure. It also tells us about the soothing we feel when we go to sleep.

The last few lyrics rend me a little confused though. "In the end I'll find my solace in an EARTHEN CRADLE"... This could maybe mean death.

Song Meaning

earthen cradle represents him in a casket in the ground surrounded by earth and the casket is his cradle. him finding solace (peace/ comfort) when he departs this world, aka dies.
