question for egyptians on this site

have you ever heard of the expression
"going behind the sun"
what does it mean??

eg "i saw john a couple of months ago but i've heard that he has gone behind the sun"

 

maybe he turned gay?

 

west possibly since it currently goes west... he followed it i would assume

 

yes it is a very interesting expression
maybe you could ask around for me

 

hi
although .. im not egyptian .. but I know the meaning of this .. and it might bring bad memories or even sometimes fear ..

the meaning of this .. is not related to freedom at all .. it means the exact opposite really .. means that john detained in such a secure place even the sun can't see him ..
