"under the rising sun" represents youth, journeys, and the search for oneself.
This track captures the intense and transformative period of growing up - a time when one actively explores the world, faces new challenges, and experiences their first deep realizations. It’s a stage of self-discovery, first major decisions, and first real disappointments.
The title "under the rising sun" carries a double meaning:
- "In the Land of the Rising Sun" - a reference to Japan, its aesthetics, and philosophy.
- "Under the Rising Sun" - a symbol of life’s dawn, youth, when the future seems limitless and time feels abundant enough to make any dream possible.
This period of life is filled with journeys - both physical and internal. It’s the first taste of true freedom, but with it comes the realization that the world is far more complex than it seemed in childhood.
