Behind The Sun

The lyrics describe a speaker who meets a talking dolphin and receives a message about living “behind the sun.” The mood is playful and dreamy, but also peaceful: the speaker listens to the sea, watches the dolphin leave, and reflects on the sun and the world. The repeated phrase gives the song a sense of wonder rather than a clear, step-by-step story.

Several images connect nature with inner life. The sun rising and setting is contrasted with the speaker’s heart continuing to pound, suggesting that human feeling carries on through changing days. The dolphin “swims so free,” making it an image of freedom, while its speech and teaching give nature a kind of wisdom. “Behind the sun” may point to an unseen or imagined place beyond ordinary experience, not a literal location.

The song invites listeners to be curious about the world, especially through the image of a child asking questions. Its meaning remains open: the dolphin could represent a fantasy, a spiritual guide, or simply the speaker’s imaginative way of expressing closeness to nature. The unusual flying island adds to the sense that everyday reality has become magical. The lyrics offer more of a feeling of openness and wonder than a definite explanation.
