Sunburn Lyrics

Come waste your millions here, secretly she says
Another corporate show, a guilty conscience grows

And I'll feel a guilty conscience grow
And I'll feel a guilty conscience grow

She burns like the sun, and I can't look away
She'll burn our horizons, make no mistake

Come let the truth be shared, no one ever dared
To break these endless lies, secretly she cries

She burns like the sun, and I can't look away
She'll burn our horizons, make no mistake

And I'll hide from the world behind a broken frame
And I'll burn forever, I can't face the shame

And I'll hide from the world behind a broken frame
And I'll burn forever, I can't face the shame

What is the Meaning of Sunburn?

This profound track portrays the struggle of one grappling with guilt and responsibility in a world dominated by deceit and corporate greed. The protagonist is drawn to a figure who 'burns like the sun'🔥, symbolizing an overwhelming truth or reality that's hard to ignore. This person threatens to 'burn our horizons,' indicating a potential for significant change or upheaval. However, the protagonist chooses to 'hide from the world behind a broken frame'🖼️, suggesting a retreat into denial or avoidance rather than confronting the uncomfortable truth. The recurring theme of 'burning' implies both destruction and purification, hinting at the painful yet necessary process of acknowledging and addressing guilt and complicity in societal issues.
