Crash Test Dummies: My Own Sunrise Meaning
Song Released: 1997
My Own Sunrise Lyrics
Your perfect flesh impervious to anything fungal
You would sweat coconut milk and
I'd lie awake, restless with the heat during the night
Dawn would come and I would start to feel my own...

This might be way off and macabre, but I've always taken this song as the man being so in love with his wife that he didn't want to accept her death. He carts her body around from location to location as she decomposes.

About unrequited love. He is deeply in love with her, but she is not interested in him. He longs to rustle in her grasses, while she turns away. The frustration of this leading him to lie awake at night in the first verse.
Or perhaps they are married but she is not interested in a physical relationship? If that's the case, the last verse could be about their relationship becoming cold (icy Tundra as opposed to hot jungle in the first verse). He gets middle aged and fat (bloated on seal fat). She loses her beauty (Not even flies will settle on the meadow of her leg). But even then she's disinterested.
