Screaming at the Sun Lyrics

Cover art for Screaming at the Sun lyrics by Machine Head

This song sorta channels the collective frustration and moral exhaustion of living in a broken world. The “sun” symbolizes higher powers, God, enlightenment, or the universe itself, and the meaning of the title 'screaming at the sun' is that we, as the protagonist in the track, are standing under the sun, screaming, unable to accept what humanity has quietly become. It also uses chess metaphors to make the comparison that we are all pawns in someone else's game.
