Discover the story of the song > Locking Up the Sun – Poets of the Fall

The song talks about a situation where the sun is being locked up and there is no hope. People are looking for a hero to save the day and fix everything. But everyone is too scared to take responsibility and blame is being put on someone expendable. The song suggests that in times of emptiness and hopelessness, the solution lies within oneself to find absolution and possibly be the hero they are looking for.
