Sleeping Sun (song)

"Sleeping Sun" by Bestla is the Bitch is a melancholic and dreamy song that describes the beauty and sadness of fleeting moments in life. The beginning stanza sets the tone as the sun is described as sleeping quietly, suggesting a peaceful and perhaps an ending or a transition. The first verse talks about the significance of dreams and wishes in life, implying that life is meaningful only insofar as one has something to hope and dream for.
The second verse harks back to the idea of fleeting moments with the line "losing faith makes a crime," hinting at the idea that giving up on hopes and dreams means losing something significant and timeless. The chorus expresses a desire to experience a moment of ponderous beauty, perhaps with a lover or a close companion, before it inevitably fades away. The image of the "shores of a solar sea" and the desire to go down with the sun lends to the theme of romantic longing, the poet yearning to be lost in a beautiful and eternal moment.
The third verse begins with sorrow but also hints at redemption, suggesting that the feeling will pass and from this, we can infer that sorrow is a necessary part of the human experience. The penultimate stanza describes the passage of time in measured terms and the idea that a moment of beauty or inspiration is elusive and fleeting. In the end, the poet wishes to remain lost in the moment of beauty forever, even if that means sleeping and weeping.
Overall, this song can be interpreted as a meditation on the beauty and sadness of fleeting moments in life. It speaks to the desire to hold onto those moments forever, to make them eternal and permanent. However, the song also suggests that this is impossible, and the beauty of life lies in its transience.
