Sun Comes Up Lyrics
I wonder, maybe they'd never find me
I've been waitin' such a long, long, long time to feel it
Swallowed by the waters around me
Though I took so many wrong, wrong, wrong turns to see it, woah
But I dance through the blisters at night
And I laughed 'til I cried and cried and
I ran 'til my feet couldn't run no more (no more, no more)
And I sat 'til my lungs were burnin'
'Til I know I'm alive, alive, yeah
I'll sit 'til I can't hear words no more
Suddenly the sun comes up
And I feel my love floodin' back again, yeah
Until the sun goes up
And I feel my love comin' up again
Suddenly the sun comes up
And the dark is gone
We made it to the dawn
And I don't miss you anymore
When the sun comes up
I can feel my love comin' back again
It wasn't easy tryin' to run with these handcuffs
I had to sleep through such a cold, cold, cold night to see it
Green flashes hit me right where I'm standing
Sunlight cut into your bones, bones, bones, started to heal it
But I dance through the blisters at night
And I laughed 'til I cried and cried and
I ran 'til my feet couldn't run no more (no more, no more)
And I sat 'til my lungs were burnin'
'Til I know I'm alive, alive, yeah
I'll sit 'til I can't hear words no more
Suddenly the sun comes up
And I feel my love floodin' back again, yeah
Until the sun goes up
And I feel my love comin' up again
Suddenly the sun comes up
And the dark is gone
We made it to the dawn
And I don't miss you anymore
When the sun comes up
I can feel my love comin' back again
Give a little light
To get a little love back
Give a little light
To get a little love back
Give a little light
To get a little love back
Won't you give it
Give a little love back
Give a little light
To get a little love back
Won't you give it
Turn your light on me
Give a little light
To get a little love back
Give a little, to get a little love
Give a little light
To get a little love back
To get a little love back
Dance through the blisters at night
I laughed 'til I cried and cried and
I ran 'til my feet couldn't run no more (no more, no more)
And I sat 'til my lungs were burnin'
I'm alive, alive
I can't hear words no more
Suddenly the sun comes up
And I feel my love
Sun comes up again, my love
Until the sun comes up
And I feel my love comin' up again
I can feel my love, I can feel my love
Sun comes up
I can feel my love comin' back again
Meaning of Sun Comes Up
“Sun Comes Up” by Rudimental is a powerfully evocative exploration of overcoming profound despair and finding renewed hope through resilience and ultimately, acceptance. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a protracted struggle – a period marked by isolation, self-destructive behavior (“wrong, wrong, wrong turns”), and physical exhaustion ("lungs were burnin’"). The repeated imagery of darkness, symbolized by “swallowed by the waters” and “cold, cold, cold nights,” suggests a deep emotional trauma, perhaps the loss of a significant relationship or a crippling sense of hopelessness. The protagonist’s actions – dancing through pain, laughing until crying, relentless running, and prolonged stillness – represent an agonizing process of self-destruction fueled by grief but ultimately driven by a desperate need to feel alive. The "handcuffs" metaphor highlights the feeling of being trapped within their own negative thoughts and behaviors.
Crucially, the arrival of “the sun comes up” isn’t presented as a sudden miracle, but rather the culmination of this arduous effort; it signifies a hard-won breakthrough. The return of “love flooding back” suggests not necessarily a romantic reunion, but a reclaiming of self-worth and an ability to move forward. The repeated plea for "give a little light" is incredibly poignant – it’s a call for external or internal illumination, urging someone to offer compassion and support, mirroring the protagonist's own journey toward healing. The song’s core message is one of perseverance; even when facing overwhelming darkness, persistent action, coupled with a willingness to accept help, can lead to a transformative dawn. Ultimately, “Sun Comes Up” celebrates the strength within us all to endure hardship and emerge into the light.
