Do It
The Sunday Drivers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You get depressed or you are on cloud nine
You look tasty or a sorry sight
Shine your light oh oh oh oh oh
Never heard you singing on my mind
Never heard you humming a melodic catchy line
You just give me one thing back
So shine your light oh oh oh oh
Do it, do it, do it, put yourself in my place
Do it, do it, do it
I can see it in you eyes
You are different and you know it right
Any given Sunday, any time
Shine your light
If I didn't love you as much as I do
Don't know what I would do 'cause I've never not loved you you
You just give me one thing back
So shine your light oh oh oh oh
Do it, do it, put yourself in my place
Do it, do it, do it
Do it, do it, put yourself in my place
Do it, do it, do it
Do it, do it, put yourself in my place
Do it, do it, do it
Do it, do it, put yourself in my place
Do it, do it, do it
The lyrics to The Sunday Drivers' "Do It" appear to be about a relationship where one person is struggling emotionally and the other is trying to encourage them to open up and share their feelings. The first two lines of the song suggest that the person being addressed here may not have been communicating with the singer about how they are doing. The singer seems to be aware that this person is capable of feeling both highs and lows ("you get depressed or you are on cloud nine"), but is frustrated that they never hear about it directly.
The chorus ("Do it, do it, do it, put yourself in my place") seems to be an effort to get the other person to empathize with the singer's position. The singer is asking this person to imagine what it would feel like to be in their shoes, to be the one who is always trying to reach out and connect. The repeated line "you just give me one thing back, so shine your light" seems to suggest that the singer wants this person to show them some sign of emotional engagement, to let them know that they are not alone in their feelings.
Overall, the song is about the importance of communication and emotional vulnerability in a relationship. The singer wants the other person to open up and share their feelings, to "shine their light" so that they can connect more deeply.

mushroom pillow, porqueeeee dejais a estos grupos perderse en el olvido.
me estoy dando cuenta que teneis buen oido para "cazar" buenos grupos.
hacer que vuelva la cordura, entrar por emisoras locales o lo que sea, estamos hasta los huevos de las radioformulas!!!!!
@carolaynstewartraitt9954
Estoy descubriendo esta banda por culpa de una confusión que he tenido con otro de sus temas y he de decir que son buenísimos!!! Muy del rollo de Franz Ferdinand y de Kasabian. 😃
