Change With The Sun

Soviet Soviet's song 'Change With The Sun' delves into the complexities of emotional relationships and the internal struggles that accompany them. The lyrics paint a picture of a person grappling with fear and awkwardness in their interactions, feeling a sense of disconnection despite the outward appearance of happiness from their partner. The line 'Your smile's all song and you're not sad' suggests a facade of contentment, masking deeper, unspoken issues.

The recurring motif of changing with the sun symbolizes the inevitable shifts in emotions and circumstances. The sun, a constant yet ever-changing entity, mirrors the fluctuating nature of the relationship. The protagonist acknowledges their partner's changing goals and their own attempts to realign their senses and find stability. The phrase 'I'm crawling out, away, but I'm back home' reflects a cycle of trying to escape the emotional turmoil but ultimately returning to the same place, indicating a struggle to break free from the patterns that bind them.

The song also touches on themes of resilience and the fight against pain. The lines 'I've fought the pain, and I won't, you know all that way' and 'You've fought for years and many on your own' highlight the endurance required to navigate personal and relational challenges. The mention of 'obsession of hope' dying until it's gone suggests a battle with maintaining optimism in the face of ongoing difficulties. The plea to be dragged, questioning 'Where is your pride before you get to home,' underscores a desire for resolution and understanding, even if it means confronting uncomfortable truths.

'Change With The Sun' encapsulates the emotional ebb and flow within relationships, the struggle for personal growth, and the quest for genuine connection amidst the chaos.
