Stranger To Your Sun

In 'Stranger To Your Sun,' Bloody Wings delves into the profound sense of alienation and inner turmoil experienced by the narrator. The song opens with a juxtaposition of emotions, where the narrator feels capable of both smiling and bleeding simultaneously. This duality suggests an internal conflict, hinting at a 'greedy evil' within that the narrator suspects. The imagery of staring restlessly at cold steps in hot lands further emphasizes the disconnection and discomfort in their surroundings, as if they are out of place in their own life.

The chorus, 'As a stranger to your sun, Ghost of marble, Timeless cry,' encapsulates the essence of the narrator's alienation. The sun, often a symbol of warmth and life, is something the narrator feels estranged from, reinforcing their sense of isolation. Describing themselves as a 'ghost of marble' suggests a lifeless, cold existence, while 'timeless cry' indicates a perpetual state of sorrow and longing. The narrator observes humanity's resilience and ability to recover from loss, contrasting it with their own perceived inability to will themselves to change or heal.

The song also explores themes of identity and belonging. The narrator questions their place in the world, feeling disconnected from those around them. The line 'This place is not for me, And my face wears not their skin' highlights a deep-seated feeling of not fitting in, both physically and emotionally. The buzzing in their head and the plea to see if their reality is sane suggests a struggle with mental health and a desire for clarity. 'Stranger To Your Sun' is a poignant exploration of self-alienation, the search for identity, and the pain of feeling perpetually out of place.
