Sunday Morning
木村カエラ xxx 細野晴臣 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Brings the dawning
It's just a restless feeling
by my side
Early dawning
Sunday morning
It's just the wasted years
so close behind
the world's behind you
There's always someone
around you who will call
It's nothing at all
Sunday morning
And I'm falling
I got a feeling
I don't want to know
Early dawning
Sunday morning
It's all the streets you crossed
not so long ago
Watch out,
the world's behind you
There's always someone
around you who will call
It's nothing at all
Watch out,
the world's behind you
There's always someone
around you who will call
It's nothing at all
Sunday morning
Sunday morning
Sunday morning
Sunday morning
The lyrics to "Sunday Morning" by 木村カエラ and 細野晴臣 describe a restless feeling that the singer has on an early Sunday morning. The opening line of the song, "Sunday morning brings the dawning," suggests the start of a new day, but the singer's accompanying feeling is one of restlessness that is "just a restless feeling by my side." Throughout the song, the singer reflects on wasted time in the past, with lines like "it's just the wasted years so close behind" and "it's all the streets you crossed not so long ago." These lines reflect a sense of regret and longing for what could have been.
The chorus of the song provides a warning to the listener to be aware of the world behind them, as there is always someone who will call out for them. Despite the warning, the repetition of the line "it's nothing at all" suggests a sense of resignation or futility in trying to escape the past or the world behind them. The final lines of the song repeat the phrase "Sunday morning," bringing the song full circle and highlighting the cyclical nature of time.
Overall, "Sunday Morning" explores themes of regret, restlessness, and the passage of time. The song suggests that while we may try to escape the world behind us or our past mistakes, they are always with us, and there is little we can do about it.
