Sunflower Lyrics – Vampire Weekend

Soundtrack Album: Invincible (TV Series)

Sunflower Text

[Verse 1: Ezra Koenig]
Sunflower in the morning
Standing in the garden
All before you wake
No power can compel you
Out into the daylight
Let that evil wait

[Chorus: Ezra Koenig]
Strange thought upon the pillow
"What day demands a date?"
Well, I don't know

[Scatting: Steve Lacy]

[Verse 2: Ezra Koenig]
Sunflower in the evening
Standing in the garden
Taking up that space
No power can compel me
Back into the daylight
Let that evil wait

[Chorus: Ezra Koenig]
Strange thought upon the pillow
"What day demands a date?"
Well, I don’t know

[Scatting: Steve Lacy]

[Outro: Ezra Koenig]
You know

Genre: Indie Rock
Featured Artists: Steve Lacy
Lyricist: Ezra Koenig
Composers: Ezra Koenig, Steve Lacy
This song is part of the soundtrack for the "Invincible (TV Series)".

Rumors:

It will also be a matter of speculation if it can be said that "Sunflower" reflects things in life like cyclical love and life because of how time moves. This has not been largely confirmed by the band.

Annotations and Meaning:

Lyrically, "Sunflower," featuring Steve Lacy, is a poet's attempt at discovering life, nature, and everything in regard to self-reflection hidden in the peripeteia of the chain of metaphors about the daily doings of a sunflower. The first verse begins with "Stands in the garden—all before you wake," clearly meaning it is standing there, be it seen or not, in this instance, if she has woken up to see it. Emphasizing this resilience is the line, "No power can compel you out into the daylight"; it could be a line pointing at a kind of inner force and independence, resistance to those foreign influences, possibly of social pressure or trial. The chorus says, "What day demands a date?" The question put up rhetorically can thus be seen to reflect the arbitrariness of time and our weak attempt as human beings to structure it by pointing out the difference between constructs of human beings and unconcerned flow of time by nature. The scatting by Steve Lacy acts to be an improvised play of the song, adding to the spontaneity of the theme and possibly the beauty found in moments that are categorized or understood with difficulty. First, verse 2 reflects the first, with the sunflower evening "taking up that space." These might point to a thought of life in general and the space each creature takes in the world before it is equally dismissed by the compulsion of powers beyond: "No power can compel me back into the daylight." The identification of the sunflower reaches a personal level and suggests common strength and perhaps wanting to not betray what it is. Coming back to that, the song eventually ends with a very basic affirmation: "You know," which might insinuate some kind of shared understanding or even themes brought out by the song.
