Sunset Lyrics

I saw you again, it felt like we had never met
It's like the sun set in your eyes and never wanted to rise
And what have you done with the one I love?
When I look into your eyes, I see no surprise

I always thought it was sad
The way we act like strangers
After all that we had
We act like we had never met

We make believe, I've never seen your face, you neither mine
And catch my eye, don't register a smile
You were more than just a friend, oh but the feeling
It never came to an end, I can't bear to see you

I always thought it was a shame
That we have to play these games
It felt like you really knew me
Now it feels like you see through me

When I see you again
I'll know not to expect
Stay one step away
We will have to wait

When I see you again
And I'm greeted as a friend
It is understood
That we did all we could

I always thought it was sad
The way we act like strangers
After all that we had
We act like we had never met

I always thought it was a shame
That we have to play these games
It felt like you really knew me
Now it feels like you see through me

What is the Meaning of Sunset?

Feeling like a stranger to your ex-lover? Then welcome aboard the melancholy express, destination: The xx's lyrical universe. "Sunset" is a poignant post-mortem of a relationship turned sour. It's about that awkward moment when you bump into your ex and you're like, "Who are you even?" 🤷‍♀️ The sun has set on their love, leaving them in the dark unfamiliarity of estrangement. The song also touches on the futile games we play to mask our true feelings 💔. It’s like playing hide-and-seek with your emotions, but spoiler alert: they always find you! So next time you run into an ex and feel like two ships passing in the night, remember this tune—it's got your back!
