Joseph Arthur - In the Sun Song Meanings

Lyrics:
I picture you in the sun, wondering, what went wrong.
And falling down on your knees, asking for, sympathy.

And being caught in between...

I think the song is about trying to find something you believe in, be it God or something else, after losing someone or something close to you.

It's about the feelings you have after letting someone go. The singer regrets and second guesses the decision, despite knowing that they weren't right for each other.

This song is about a father and son (son is speaking). This father wanted so much for himself and his family, but believed that he failed in so many ways. The son, always adoring, sees the father in the sun (also likely a pun b/c it is in fact the son in the father). The father raised the son and helped him mature and son grew older and different. The relationship became strained. The father died or the two became separated and never were able to settle things out. The son eventually realizes that the father did not have all the answers after all -- but he wishes that "god's love be with you."

The song is about a man's struggle with faith. He is finding it difficult to reconcile what he wants to believe in with what he sees. He is afraid of moving on without faith because he believes his faith has been his identity for so long. He is not sure what he will find without faith and is scared. In the end he clings to god's love as he reaches beyond faith into a naked world of reason.

I think the song is about him seeing someone whom he really loved (maybe still loves) making big mistakes in life because the person is never content and satisfied... someone whom he gave a chance to.. someone whom he tried everything he could to be with... but it's too late.. he realized that "if I find my own way how much he would find 'you' who refers that person" he realized that the person was always looking for something in between what she wished for or what she needed.. but never learned to live to see him as the way he was.. and he would never be something that she sees.. he's lost he's sad.. despite loving her so much and she's all he ever wanted, he realized that he could never be with her.. She needs help but he can't cuz he needs help himself and the only way to help is to help your ownself.. he only wishes god would bless her..

I think this song is about striving, searching for something to believe in but only after what one used to believe in has come crashing down and left one in a state of complete shock and disbelief. This makes one question what they know and what else lies out there, this makes what was right seem wrong and leaves one in a state of confusion. It questions existence, faith "If I find my way, how much will I find?" None of us really have know if God, Hell, Heaven exist as there is no solid proof that is exists. We blindly believe and once we start to question it, we start to doubt ourselves and find ourselves caught in somewher ein the middle.

I think the song is about someone who has broken the guy's heart and continued making bad decisions. Now she wants his help. He doesn't want anything to do with her, and so the only thing he'll do for her is say, "May God's love be with you."

I think this song (and rightly so) means something different to every person. I don't believe that it has to be interpreted in one particular way. It just relates to what each and every person is going through in their life as we all have struggles that we have to deal with. There are so many things that I tend to second guess myself on and some of them I will never know if I made the right decision but all you can do is move forward and wish those in your past well or as the song so rightly states it "may God's love be with you always"
