Tora wrote this song as a reminder of them being home and under the sun.
In their live performance of the song–in which they also perform Future Man–lead singer, Jo Loewenthal introduces it:
“This song was inspired by home, ‘cause where we’re from, in Byron Bay, it’s a beach town in Australia, and...
Under my feet
An heirloom
Illuminates
And I can only try to warn ahead
Particles don't lie to your eyes
But the articles in your mind might try
Won't you try on your lucky side
Or is it so finite that it just don't fit you right
Won't you dive into the depths and back
So you know why we all still wear our smiles
I know where you get that from
Get that from
You were lying in-accused so long
All we might have missed in a sense is gone
But you're a buyer in a tin foil suit and you eat the sun
Eat The Sun was written by Tora.
Eat The Sun was produced by Tora.
Tora released Eat The Sun on Sun Jul 20 2014.

This song was made in a bedroom and contains samples recorded in the Himalayas. We had a lot of fun playing around with new sounds, hope you like it.
