Sun

The song 'Sun' by Two Door Cinema Club is a poignant exploration of distance, longing, and the enduring nature of love. The lyrics paint a picture of someone who has caused unintentional harm ('Cut so deep') but is still growing and evolving ('growing through and through'). The mention of 'Ocean blue' at the beginning sets a tone of depth and vastness, possibly symbolizing the emotional space between the speaker and their loved one.

The geographical separation ('Drawn apart / New York and London') highlights the physical distance in the relationship, while the 'distant drumlins' and the transformation of familiar roads into a city suggest change and the passage of time. The repeated questions ('What would you say? What would you say? What would you do?') indicate a sense of uncertainty and a longing for reassurance from the person they are separated from. The speaker's commitment ('I know I'll stay, I know I'll stay / Right there with you') shows a deep emotional connection that transcends the physical distance.

The metaphor of building a hive and becoming one with the bees suggests a sense of community and belonging that was lost ('fell like rain / Got lost into the sea'). The wind carrying the speaker implies a surrender to the forces of life and fate, while holding tight to the hope of reconnection. The closing lines ('Over and over / Many setting suns') evoke the passage of time and the persistence of love, culminating in the realization of being in love despite the challenges faced ('And I know, and I know / That I'm in love with you').
