I'm not sure I can agree with the interpretation of the lyric. I can potentially make a connection, but it's far from clear. Of course the title of the song works better than the line chosen. ;) As a landscape, this one lets me down. I feel that too much of the canvas is dominated by the rocky shore. This can normally be good, but in this case the rocks are too similar (yet not similar enough) to give us much interest. I enjoy the left half of the sky, but the right half is, of course, a bit on the blown side. Because of the rocks letting us down, the crop is also off. I would have tried cutting the shot somewhere below the reflective pools.

The sun provides great lighting on the rocks. I think this is a great landscape photo. I don't think the title works here. I'm assuming you are referring to the sun, but the sun is the last thing I look at. It's not really a focus point on the photo. Even when I do look at it, I'm stil pulled away from it.
