Setting Sun is an upbeat and optimistic song that uses the warm imagery of a sunset and the constant movement of the sun to convey feelings of pushing through your fears and life’s pressures to live your life and, as Dalton Allison said, dig into who you are.

The band first started playin...
[Verse 1]
I'm makin' it loud
Hopin' that I could break through the silence
Wanna let it out
Like it's the last thing that I'll ever do
Keep kickin' the rocks out hard 'cause it moves me
I need something to soothe me
I need the real thing to set me free
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm not scared to shed another layer, and I'll keep pushin' on
Not gonna let another day go by without lookin' up
[Chorus]
It's a setting sun
Always movin', always changin', passin' by
Like a setting sun
Still burnin', just around the other side
It's a setting sun
Always movin', always changin', passin' by
Like a setting sun
Still burnin'
(Yeah)
[Verse 2]
Hit the gas, speed it up
It's time to make up for the years spent idlin'
Done givin' in
And tryna be somebody I never knew
[Pre-Chorus]
Not scared of the dark side, just of letting it all pass by
I'm sheddin' again, just look up and see
[Chorus]
Always movin', always changin', passin' by
Like a setting sun
Still burnin', just around the other side
It's a setting sun
Always movin', always changin', passin' by
Like a setting sun
Still burnin'
Still burnin'
[Instrumental Bridge]
[Chorus]
It's a setting sun
Always movin', always changin', passin' by
Like a setting sun
Still burnin', just around the other side
It's a setting sun
Always movin', always changin', passin' by
Like a setting sun
Still burnin'
Still burnin'
