"The words "staring at the sun" are kind of a metaphor, or an analogy, for people that are being self-destructive, or compromising themselves. And in the song, I'm saying that I won't be a part of that. Maybe this line wraps it up the best:
But I won't be burned by the reflection
Of the fire in your eyes
As you're staring at the sun.
That's like me trying to say that if you're going to destroy yourself, you're not going to drag me down with you."

@InvisibleBacon54 You also make stupid and generic comments because you lack intelligence to form your own jokes. But what at least you make up for it with dumbasses thumbing your shitty comment up.
Listening to these songs now that I'm all grown up it's so different then how I understood them as a kid. Man, life was so much simpler back then... I just thought he was staring at the sun. :(
When I had a band my 2nd bass playersaid he "wrote" this song but now i realize i shouldnt trust him with song writing ever but this is much better than my modification of it
95% of teens these days listen to the same crappy pop songs over and over. if your one of the 5% left who still listen to real music, thumb this up, then copy and paste it to 5 good vids. DONT LET THE SPIRIT OF ROCK AND ROLL DIE
@brownsandrvd hell yeah man i was born in 1995 i got a lil bit of the 20th century in me! woo! crew this pop shit rock is were its at and where it should stay
the song isn't about criticizing people for staring at the sun.......its a metaphor for self destruction and that he's not going to be brought down by someone else destroying themselves....
@ninjazombiepuppy Maybe, but then it's a good song and is no longer played on the radio (as far as I can tell). I think it's better that ten people listen this song and one guy thumbs it down than having people avoid listening to new stuff.
I can remeber listening to this song when i was really small, at the time i didnt know who it was but then.. i found out!! and here i am listening to them, the offspring. whooo !
@TheLowrider331 Generally people aren't going to click on songs they don't like, and since there is no way to tell how many thumbs up vs how many thumbs down a comment has, you are of course going to inevitably end up with a number of thumbs up. Try to make an actual comment instead of useless bull shit next time.
Maybe the people arent even hating on the song. It could just say that 24 people dont like the vid, not necessarily the song itself. so go QQ on another vid.
All of the thumbnails are the song name and the offspring, leads to people thinking there's going to be -lyrics- I didn't watch the vid because I was looking for -lyrics-
To those of you who talk shit about people giving this song a thumbs down:
You are nothing but hypocrites. You are doing the same thing that is upsetting you. So, some people don't like the song. Does that effect you at all? Other than showing you all for the hypocrites you really are, it does nothing. Don't worry about what others like or don't like. Not everybody is going to like the same things.
DONT READ THIS. YOU WILL GET KISSED ON THE NEAREST POSSIBLE FRIDAY BY THE LOVE OF YOUR%uFEFF LIFE. TOMORROW WILL BE THE BEST DAY OF YOUR LIFE. HOWEVER IF YOU DONT POST THIS COMMENT TO AT LEAST 3 VIDEOS YOU WILL DIE WITHIN 2 DAYS. NOW UV STARTED READIN DIS DUNT STOP THIS IS SO SCARY. SEND THIS OVER TO 5 VIDEOS IN 143 MINUTES WHEN UR DONE PRESS F6 AND UR CRUSHES NAME WILL APPEAR ON THE SCREEN IN BIG LETTERS. THIS IS SO SCARY BECAUSE IT ACTUALLY WORKS.
