I believe that this song is about someone who has a burden around them, something they did, or something about themselves that isnt necessarily positive. It tells the person to let it go, that they know that it is positive, and that they know the person is having trouble living with it. However, when the person tries to escape it, it still lurks with the person, in their mind, even though no one else can see it. "It's the sun in your eyes" refers to the fact that the person believes it's huge and you can't look at it for too long without getting burned. And yes, it does have heavy influence of the story in the above comment, but this was my primary interpretation.
I absolutely love Bastille and their song writing capabilities. I truly hope that I will be able to write as good songs as they do.
