San Sebastian Lyrics
Artist(Band):Sonata Arctica
Review The Song (14)Print the Lyrics
I could see my life, short film passing my eyes
I tried to look away from her, as always I just tried
Sweetness in her eyes, gone through one million miles
How could I turn my back on her, the sweetest thing alive
I was eager, day time dreamer, waiting time when I'd come alive

Sun of San Sebastian eighteen years young today
She's all I ever dreamed, but now my skies are turning grey
It was good I got to know her well, because it made me see
That the sun of San Sebastian is just too hot for me

Look what have I done to the San Sebastian
I wasted all my childhood dreams by staring at the sun
Back in time with a dream of mine
I try to find my way back to life
Burning fever, night time screamer, waiting time when I'd come alive

Sun of San Sebastian oh why I cannot stay
She's all I ever dreamed, but now my skies are turning gray
It was good I got to know her well, because it made me see
that the sun of San Sebastian is just too hot for me

[Solo]

Every single day, for the rest of my way
I live without my love, my God, I have to stay in shade
When I'm old and gray, I remember that day
When she came, that perfect dame and she blew me away
I was eager, day time dreamer, waiting time when I'd come alive

Whoa-oh-oh-oh...

Was it good I got to know her well although it made me see
That the sun of San Sebastian is way too hot for me, yeah

Whoa-oh-oh-oh...

Now I live my life in shade and I am married to the moon
and the sun of San Sebastian is warming someone new

Review about San Sebastian

interpretation | Reviewer: Anonymous | 10/6/09

my interpretation of this song is that San sebastian is the womean as you all agreed and "the sun" is her love, so it is to the "love of san sebastian" that he is singing to, thats why he says that "the sun of San Sebastian is just too hot for me" so that love is too much for him and, i dont know why, but he thinks he doesnt deserve it... this concept can explain every part of the song except for this one that i cant find any scence...

ook what have I done to the San Sebastian
I wasted all my childhood dreams by staring at the sun
Back in time with a dream of mine
I try to find my way back to life
Burning fever, night time screamer, waiting time when I'd come alive

Im sorry if my english is not very good, Im from Argentina... SONATA RULES!

Never would have guessed them lyrics..... | Reviewer: Anonymous | 4/30/09

These crazy shaggy Finnish people with their accented English....I tried forever to decipher the lyrics but gave up and checked it up here. Once you start reading along though, it all makes sense and the song becomes much more enjoyable. This song was still one of my favs though. Love their epic harmonic singing and crazy double-bass music and impossible guitar solos.



Incredible! Deep & so poetic! | Reviewer: alex1313sixx | 4/28/09

Yeah I agree with everyone saying that The sun of San sabastians is a beautiful woman the protagonist love a whole lot in his child hood and adolecence. And he had a relationship with her but it failed and now he is living in sadness. What I don't get is that by saying "the moon" she means a different woman or that he is married to the moon as someone said saying he is married solitude and depression. LOVE THIS SONG!!! So deep and poetic.sonata arctica rules!!!!!!



interpretation?? | Reviewer: Anonymous | 2/28/09

ok The sun of San sebastian could be a girl he metin the actual city. She is so beautiful that he uses the metaphor of the sun. He fantasized about her for his entire life. But when he finally got with the girl of his dreams, she was too much for him to handle. She then left him and is with someone else while he struggles to find a rythm in his life.



WHOAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO | Reviewer: Richard | 11/26/08

This is the best song from them.. To me atleast, i connect to the lyrics in such a personal way and the energy is full of passion.

This is my favorite, then My Selene, then everything else by them is great. My favorite band.



Interpretation | Reviewer: NekoSama | 9/29/08

I really love this song but I don`t get clearly how San Sebastian fits the lyric.
I think that it's just a poetic way to call the girl (sun of san sebastian), but don't have any connection with the historical character of the cristianity.
The last 2 lines:
"live in shade" he repeat many times "now my skies are turning grey", I think that he finaly lost her forever. "and I am married to the moon", this means that he is alone and sleep every night with the moon as his only company, because "I wasted all my childhood dreams by staring at the sun" and he was never able to do this "I try to find my way back to life", or find someone else, because he only have eyes for her.
Finally "and the sun of San Sebastian is warming someone new", she is now with someone else...

Probably it's deeper than I can understand, such as San sebastian meaning, the "Burning fever" part (i don't get it), and some others gaps...




Interpretation | Reviewer: Vernius | 9/8/08

Maybe it makes reference to the city "San Sebastian" in the Basque Country, between Spain and France.

It's a beautiful city and the foreigners use to get embelessed with it.

I wonder if the lyrics refer to the city really.



Interpretation? | Reviewer: Anonymous | 7/21/08

Correct me if I'm wrong, here is my interpretation.

The "Sun of San Sebastian" is a young woman that the singer (presumably San Sebastian?) cannot stop thinking about and looking at ("I wasted all my childhood dreams by staring at the sun"). He had known this woman for a while ("It was good I got to know her well") and wanted a relationship, but he realized she was way out of his league ("That the sun of San Sebastian is just too hot for me") so she gradually grew apart from him ("but now my skies are turning gray") and he went for the second brightest star in the sky ("and I am married to the moon"), figuratively, of course.



Great song; bad lyrics | Reviewer: Anonymous | 5/20/08

It sounds awesome but I don't really like the lyrics; I was never terribly into the over-spammed love song concept but even worse is saying "The Sun of San Sebastian", which sounds like "The Son of San Sebastian" and makes my friends think I'm listening to gay music.
But it still sounds awesome; I'd like to stress that.
