Owl City- Sunburn lyrics

[@ansanrucararugiz9323]

one does not simply have a favorite owl city song

[@speedcheetah1630]

I'd agree with that. Good thought.

[@Ballislife55429]

Facts 😂😭

[@hootowl905]

Agreee. Haha.

[@michaelsaacke2800]

It's a metaphor for love and it's uneven remainders. People break up and one could be experiencing a lot of pain while the other is off scot-free. "she got a tan and i got a sunburn."

[@NaruSakulover1]

Unfortunatly that happens a lot, to some people it means nothing and to those others that got really affected what we get is well... a sunburn.

[@michaelsaacke2800]

Satoshi Mochida Well put!

[@lemontigers4188]

+Michael Saacke ohhhh... that makes sense... woah I never notice that stuff .-.

[@cometxcosmos]

wait someoe was called satoshi o_o another corpse party fan listens to owl city?!

[@desecrator8979]

Michael Saacke thats exsactly what this song is about. props

[@basilgamesx2422]

"I tried not to cry as we said goodbye-" "To 10 million fireflies, I'm weird cause' I hate goodbyes-" Coincided, I think not!

[@bagasfairusyah]

"She gave me a heart attack, just because she looked so adorable"

[@laceybowers3994]

That part makes me feel warm and fuzzy

[@Jaydove2387]

Bagas Fairusyah my girlfriend doesn't believe me when I say that she's adorable

[@kingcoffee8146]

This song is so fluffy

[@theguy3966]

+Sarah Knight Fluffy... thats a good word for this

[@lemontigers4188]

+Sarah Knight OMG UR RIGHT! adams songs have texture or taste ;3

[@just_a_tired_they_.2437]

Wow. Fluffy actually does suit this song. Never expected that

[@michaelagustinsantos3015]

That's one weird adjective for this song. It works though.

[@hypershadic1151]

"I had a heart attack, just because she looked so adorable!" I just love owl city, where people be singing about booties, he's singing about actual looks, and love, and not SEX! It's refreshing.

[@goldengifts3830]

YES!!

[@supriyodutta445]

Yupp...

[@WhisperingEchoes56]

So great.

[@BowlerTheHatGuy]

R.I.P. Such songs

[@confetticats]

I heard this song in a Claire's store today. Caught me off guard, but it was a pleasant surprise. Needed to listen to this again. :D

[@aprilj5345]

They always play it in clairs

[@toermalijnx6844]

''But when her smile came back and I didn't feel half as horrible she gave me a heart attack just because she looks so adorable.'' ^w^

[@poppicicle]

it's 2017 and i'm still in love with Owl City's music

[@judahc7586]

It's 2018 and same

[@chalkboard5869]

2019 and same

[@derp8357]

2020 and same.

[@hootowl905]

Its 2021 and still im a certified hootowl

[@ameliaholland4445]

2022 and same

[@SaruCharmed]

Well it *sounds* cheery but it's still sad... : / It's about him and this girl breaking up and while she grows from the experience he's hurt from it. (She got a tan and I got a sunburn)

[@WolfStarr10]

It's not vandalism when it's a beautiful quote from an amazing song by the perfect Adam Young(:

[@peppercervantes7727]

10 years ago this song played in a movie theater... I didn't know about the internet before... So I couldn't just search it... Now after 10 years I finally got to listen to this song again... This song smells like the Pizza I ate 10 years ago in the theater...

[@MadelineDuff-tn5lv]

That’s so beautiful!

[@aliciap1478]

Thank you, brain, for storing memories in a song so that on this temperate cloudy day, I have a beautiful memory of my favorite part of the Olympic Discovery Trail

[@grey29825]

I'm singing into my pencil like it's a microphone... that is how epic this song is!

[@WhisperingEchoes56]

That's what I'm doing rn :)

[@john2weather2]

Oh my god this song is so cute & adorable! I love songs about pure innocent love like this. I'm thinking of learning to play it for my girlfriend.

[@bongumenzijiyane5064]

It's a break-up song though,you know that right?

[@fillyreports]

She sounds like the bees knees

[@jamnexe8994]

When the song hides the sadness in it so well you dont notice it

[@defghable11]

Clever songwriting..

[@breebreelps4388]

This song came on when I was at Claire's at the mall and I had a freaking fangirl attack.

[@lemontigers4188]

+BreeBree LPS I WISH I HEARD OWL CITY SONGS IN CLAIRES! STOOPID CLAIREZ GIMME UR OWL CITY MUSIC!

[@CraftySarahLPS]

I heard beautiful times in justice once

[@cheetoes3961]

I’m pretty sure some employees get to pick the music that plays so whoever was picking the music must be a big owl city fan because this is a hidden gem

[@michaelagustinsantos3015]

I once heard Kiss Me Babe It's Christmas Time in a local mall of ours once. Too bad I was the only one who appreciated it.

[@katarzynamysluk3801]

Eh, fangirls...

[@mothpawbs027]

i absolutely love this song, it's so sweet, and i had the sudden realization that it's the only song i know that uses the word "adorable"

[@jalpal1998]

ihave done the same thing. whenever i find a scrap of paper i write his lyrics on it and paste it on the wall in my bedroom. Half the walls covered :)

[@WhisperingEchoes56]

I just remembered my first time listening to this: Adam: She gave me a heart attack... Me: Oh no my precious Adam- Adam: ...just because she looked so adorable! Me: *clutches heart* thank goodness you scared me

[@PinkeyPromiseForever]

dancing around my front yard like an idiot, and completely embarassing myself when i realize my nieghbors are watching me and laughing... all in the name of Owl Cit XD

[@PNWFAE]

This came up as my favorite song 9 years ago. Totally forgot about it and had to listen to it again.

[@NintendoG8mer]

the effects in the beginning are really awesome, but not only good lyrics makes such a video good, also a good decision to that song was great.

[@umbraelle]

This song always reminds me of my childhood crush.

[@lemontigers4188]

+XavionTheMighty I could see that making sense :3

[@nagemhtoob2061]

I liked it all except for 3:39. That was so bad D:

[@furubafan197]

IKR?! XD

[@kristenamethyst1505]

why?? because it was the end of the song? LOL

[@lyricalmind2331]

+Kristen Amethyst yup

[@oceanusis]

nagem htoob I know. I hate when songs do that.

[@artsysundae]

IKR?

[@ReikaSayuri]

and this is why I love Owl City.. :D

[@ajarmetta]

I wish adam young would make songs like this again

[@hootowl905]

Yess 😭😭😭

[@lolroflmaoomgwtfbbq1]

I'll admit, I'm not a fan of light rock, I don't even usually like it. But this is poetry put to music. Truly one of the best written songs I've heard in a long time.

[@ValerieAnneV]

2020 and this song is still so beautiful.

[@iluvtoast100]

...You drew on a dead animal...THAT IS GENIUS. It dies with words of wisdom. XD

[@ImTomMasterson]

Every single song I hear from Owl City for the first time it sends a chill and shiver through my body. I love it. :)

[@einekleine5157]

It’s 2018 and I’m sobbing because everyone’s forgotten everything

[@eleanorlvly]

LOVE IT !!!!!!!!!!

[@essie7198]

i loved the begining with the tree thing!! and most of owl city songs are cheery!! :D

[@laurenasberry8699]

The "STRAWBERRY AVALANCHE! RUN!" was pure genius!

[@paulpavlus6664]

I was playing this song when I got back from the beach the other day, and I still play this song in my head to make it more fitting.

[@AnimeGirlQulia]

I just luv the way his voice sounds in this song

[@christopherdono1751]

such an upbeat song!

[@rachaeljones9757]

Learn symbolism. It makes his songs so much easier to understand. The upbeat music to his sad lyrics are like the moon in the night sky: a beacon of hope amidst dark times.

[@christopherdono1751]

Rachael Jones I know. just stop ruining songs for me!

[@rachaeljones9757]

Why do you think I ruined it? When I finally put the pieces together, I enjoyed the song more, because I understood the real emotion put into the song, and began to feel a deeper meaning in the lyrics. It's just a song that explains that love can be really great, but horrible all at the same time. In addition, you stated: just stop ruining songs for me! Just how many songs did I "ruin"? I only explained the true meaning behind this one. If you want a perfect "upbeat song", listen to "Coming After You" or "Speed of Love".

[@christopherdono1751]

Rachael Jones sorry. just stop turning songs with an upbeat feel into a sad song with a positive spin on things. It just makes me feel less happy about the song.

[@rachaeljones9757]

But how? It creates a deeper meaning. Now you aren't listening to a hollow, meaningless song.

[@Lance77am]

Wow,its nice to know there are people enjoying this song. That is an amazing story, thank you for sharing!

[@GRGRDGFD]

this song is sooo cute, its one of mah faves!

[@a866903]

you're amazing at making these videos. Can I just say thank you for actually spelling words correctly? I get annoyed when I look for lyrics videos and people can't figure out were vs. we're. Plus your timing is epic. You're never behind the song, nor rushing the lyrics. Keep making these!!

[@ryanurchful]

I got that: "we did an experiment to test weather or not your child is safe in the sun" How FUCKING BOOORED must you be to do that

[@djgib53]

2:51 *SAYORI INTENSIFIES*

[@rachaeljones9757]

The song isn't actually super cheery. He's singing about how he and an ex had a very bumpy relationship and broke up. Listen to it:" It's funny how she recalls what I can't remember now"(An argument) and "She got a tan and I got a sunburn"(He was screwed over).

[@SpicePrincess1890]

Like 90% of his songs really. The songs of Of June, Maybe I'm Dreaming and Ocean Eyes all stayed true to this theme of cheery sounds and dark words twisted to sound much more positive. Kind of poetic in and of itself when you think of it. It shows even in the dark, cold, hard truthful words of depressing things, there can be hope and cheer found there.

[@sonalimaruchi915]

Rachael Omg I love your picture cx

[@rachaeljones9757]

Sonia The Hetalian Thanks, you too! :D

[@christopherdono1751]

way to ruin a song for me. jerk.

[@rachaeljones9757]

You're welcome. Dork.

[@AwakeAndTired]

Happy music like this make finding the little things in life really easy to see.

[@fillyreports]

I actually have a sunburn on my face

[@kpopfan7557]

That was really nice of them to do and of you to give them such great music! :) Thank you for helping them! The world needs more people like you :)

[@bongumenzijiyane5064]

Adam Young and Sia are my best song writers

[@trex2373]

+Bongumenzi Jigster dude, these guys really need some appreciation though. They're awesome song-writers

[@davindralakhan6864]

Agreed

[@THE______TRUTH]

Maaaaan....this takes me back.

[@x3lovechicagox3]

this song makes me think of him

[@snowysunrise]

I literally only clicked this because I just got a sunburn today :( Good song though

[@electrogenics]

Oh my. Xd

[@electrogenics]

+Joshua Cox XD*

[@amberleehsu4762]

+SkittishSkitty LOL

[@audreymarsh1827]

+SkittishSkitty And after you heard this, the magic of OwlCity took your sunburn away, ammiright?!?!?

[@snowysunrise]

audrey marsh actually, the sunburn blistered and got worse overnight. I cried for hours because of how ugly I looked. ahh that was the week from hell :)

[@nijihime8342]

Am i the only one who thinks this song is way more darker then it sounds? To many people here it sounds like an innocent song about a breakup. This is what I heard at first too, then I started to really listen to the song. To me this sounds like, something happening during some sort of war, or post apocalyptic world. It sounds like the couple received radiation poisoning, and they know they're doomed. There are some hints in the song that indicate this. "Post war books supported my frame of mine." "The lantern died that night, but we didn't need to see." and around 2:36 is a huge indication, pretty much that whole verse is a dead giveaway. Another bomb just struck, and they take final look at each other, right before their final moment together. Really listen, I wouldn't think this, but there are some strange references in the song, that don't quite fit with the tone of the song.

[@chrisdono6598]

so happy this song exists!

[@RUfor80six]

who the fuck hurt you so bad adam young.... i dont know how he could write some of his songs without having his heart broken...

[@anwdray6888]
