Sunshine! Lyrics

[Intro]
Ah, I'm like actually losing my voice though

[Verse 1]
Killing my time in the dark inside
It's a race to death for me
Try and unwind while I lose my mind
I got no place to be

[Pre-Chorus]
The cold winds blowing
The lights not showing
Excuses piling up
I can't keep running
The end is coming
I think I need some
I think I need some

[Chorus]
Sunshine that would finally show
I might die if I stay in this cold
And I finally admit it, I gotta be committed
To let this story unfold
I hear angels calling my name and
I better listen before I implode
I don't care for a minute
If no one's gonna get it
Let's try selling our souls
Let's try selling our souls
Let's try selling our souls
[Verse 2]
Living in filth, can't look at myself
'Cause I know what I'm gonna see
The spirit I lost, the years it cost
The reasons I'm scared to sleep

[Pre-Chorus]
The room is spinning
The clock keeps ticking
I've finally had enough
I can't keep running
The end is coming
I think I need some
I think I need some

[Chorus]
Sunshine that would finally show
I might die if I stay in this cold
And I finally admit it, I gotta be committed
To let this story unfold
I hear angels calling my name and
I better listen before I implode
I don't care for a minute
If no one's gonna get it
Let's try selling our souls
[Bridge]
The end is coming
The end is coming
The end is coming
I can't keep running
The end is coming
The end is coming
I think I need some
I think I need some

[Chorus]
Sunshine that would finally show
I might die if I stay in this cold
And I finally admit it, I gotta be committed
To let this story unfold
I hear angels calling my name and
I better listen before I implode
I don't care for a minute
If no one's gonna get it
Let's try selling our souls

About

This song bio is unreviewed
Genius Annotation

The opening title track repeats the phrase ‘I’m not dead yet’, hammering home this new lease on life to the listener from the outset. Single ‘Sunshine’ meanwhile welcomes a bright light into the room, a metaphor and theme that Caleb felt summed up a lot of his own struggles.

“That song is obviously written around me, it’s written around my seasonal depression, it’s written around living in Columbus. Knowing that there is something I can do to change it, move, get out of somewhere with brutal winters that affect me so negatively. But it’s scary and it’s hard to be stuck in that and realise that you have to do something that is going to be painful, and it’s going to be difficult, but it is going to be worth it in the long run, if you just believe in it, and you trust it, and you go with it.”

Genius Answer

Caleb Shomo:

This is about me realising that my seasonal depression is getting out of hand and I really need to make a change. I ended up moving to Los Angeles about seven or eight months after I wrote that song, and never looked back.
