There's a song called Shake the Sun, and I don't understand why the lyrics say Shake the Sun... is there any special significance to it?

The word "sun" is used here for the melody of the song, meaning sunlight.

The last word of the lyrics is in angst, and the sun can't be "shaken", and the last word of the next line is "light", so the sun is the most appropriate word to use for these two reasons. The sun is shaking, which means dancing in the sun.
