Hot as Day

i'm not sure of anything, but here's a slightly different interpretation...

when the sun is its most bright stare into its light do not close your eyes

let it burn into your mind then look left look right let it make you blind

oh isn't that a fright go into eternal night --- someone did fly/defy --- (?)

when the days run long and late darkness brings me pause while i lie awake

sleep is never long enough lying in this heat i forgot to breathe

oh isn't that the wait slow hides himself away still it's hot as day
