Lyric discussion by Jay_Dubya 

Cover art for Bring Back The Sun lyrics by Our Lady Peace

I don't have much else to contribute to the postings thus far - I agree with the general consensus: a relationship that once was beautiful that turned sour.

What Raine is referring to specifically, I don't know. I don't believe he is referring to his personal life, as other songs on the album (ie. Somewhere Out There) infer that his relationship with Chantal is going well.

This is, thus far, my favourite song by OLP, for many different reasons. Lyrically and symbolically it is one of the most touching. It is very moving musically, ranging from dark and bassy to almost ballad-like. It is also a very reassuring song: we all have our dark times, our 'sunsets'; however, there is hope for all of us if we give up our differences and cultivate love.
If we work hard at it, we'll make it to the next sunrise.
