Sunflower Eyes is a tender, indie-folk ballad that explores the theme of unconditional love through the metaphor of a sunflower eternally turning toward the sun. Sung from the perspective of a devoted admirer, the lyrics portray the woman as a radiant source of light and warmth, while the narrator—like a sunflower—grows, blooms, and finds meaning in her presence. The song moves through moments of quiet longing, emotional vulnerability, and deep reverence, supported by gentle acoustic instrumentation and cinematic interludes. It’s a heartfelt declaration of love that remains steadfast, even through distance, darkness, or doubt.

🎶 Lyrics – Sunflower Eyes
[🌞 Sunflower Eyes]  
[Poetic Version with Instrumentals]

[🎶 Instrumental 1 – Golden Dawn]  
[Soft fingerpicked guitar intro with glockenspiel accents. Sets the mood before vocals begin.]

[Verse 1]  
I rise with the hush of morning light  
Just to catch your golden flight  
You climb the sky, serene and high  
And suddenly, the world feels right  

[Pre-Chorus]  
I don’t know why you shine so true  
But like the tide, I’m drawn to you  

[🎶 Instrumental 2 – Turning Leaves]  
[Guitar and cello interlude, gentle and wistful. Placed between Pre-Chorus and Chorus.]

[Chorus]  
You are the sun, I am the flower  
Swaying in your gentle power  
One glance from you, and I unfold  
Even when your warmth turns cold  
I’ll be waiting, ever turning  
To you—my light, my love, my yearning  

[🎶 Instrumental 3 – Sunlight Drift]  
[Piano motif with brushed percussion. Placed after Chorus 1, before Verse 2.]

[Verse 2]  
You don’t see how you make me bloom  
How your laughter clears the gloom  
Rooted deep in dreams of grace  
Every petal seeks your face  

[Pre-Chorus]  
I need no stars, no moonlit skies  
Just the fire behind your eyes  

[🎶 Instrumental 4 – Petal Waltz]  
[3/4 acoustic waltz with soft violin swells. Placed after Pre-Chorus 2, before Chorus 2.]

[Chorus]  
You are the sun, I am the flower  
Swaying in your gentle power  
One glance from you, and I unfold  
Even when your warmth turns cold  
I’ll be waiting, ever turning  
To you—my light, my love, my yearning  

[🎶 Instrumental 5 – Solar Flare]  
[Strummed guitar and string quartet build. Placed after Chorus 2, before Bridge.]

[Bridge]  
If winds grow wild and shadows fall  
I’ll still reach for you through it all  
You’re the reason seasons sing  
You’re the light in everything  

[🎶 Instrumental 6 – Twilight Bloom]  
[Muted guitar harmonics and ambient pads. Placed after Bridge, before Verse 3.]

[Verse 3]  
And if the world forgets the day  
I’ll find your glow in shades of grey  
You’re the reason I believe  
In every breath, in all I weave  

[🎶 Instrumental 7 – Sunflower Eyes (Reprise)]  
[Solo guitar returns to intro theme, slower and softer. Placed after Verse 3, before Final Chorus.]

[Final Chorus]  
You are the sun, I am the flower  
Swaying in your gentle power  
One glance from you, and I unfold  
Even when your warmth turns cold  
I’ll be waiting, ever turning  
To you—my light, my love, my yearning

Sunflower Eyes

Marina City’s music is sexy and sensual, resplendent and vibey. They’re indie pop with an R&B twist, evoking the best of Prince, Michael Jackson, and The 1975 without sounding like anyone but themselves.
