The song "Under The Sun" by Highasakite explores themes of loss, disillusionment, and the search for meaning. The lyrics suggest that the narrator has lost various aspects of their life, such as their rights, heart, house, faith, and grip. The repetition of "And it isn't that hard" implies that these losses should not be a big deal, but the narrator acknowledges that they are significant and painful. The lyrics also touch upon the perception of others towards the narrator's struggles. The line "You seem glad to see me come undone" suggests that some people may take pleasure in witnessing the narrator's downfall. Similarly, in the line "You seem pleased to see me overthrown," it is suggested that others may find joy in the narrator's loss of control. Throughout the song, the narrator pleads for someone to reassure them that their situation is not as difficult as it seems. They long for someone to "Save a place for me under the sun" and to say that their struggles are not insurmountable. However, the repeated refrain of "No matter what you say, it's sounding like a lie" indicates that the narrator is skeptical of receiving this reassurance. Overall, "Under The Sun" captures the feelings of loss, vulnerability, and skepticism towards others' attempts to comfort or minimize the narrator's pain. It explores the complexities of navigating a world where it feels like everything is falling apart and searching for a glimmer of hope or understanding.
