Monday Morning
Christopher Tom Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's time to leave this town
But if I will return
You wont see anything
It's been a nice time
But it's time for me to leave
I'm packing all my bags
And then I'll be on my way, honey
Tuesday Morning™ out to shore
Wednesday Morning™ there'll be no more of meeeeeeee...
Christopher Tom's song Monday Morning is a sorrowful and melancholic masterpiece that captures the pain of leaving everything behind and starting afresh. The first line, "Never felt so far away," refers to the singer's emotional distance from everything he was once close to. He's ready to leave this town, but the pain of departing is evident in his words, "You won't see anything." He's aware that this could be the last time he sees his friends and family or perhaps even the town he grew up in, but he's determined to start anew.
Throughout the song, the singer packs his bags and gets ready to leave. The lyrics are quite poignant as they capture his turmoil and mixed emotions about his choices. He acknowledges that "it's been a nice time," but it's time to move on. The chorus of the song is particularly evocative, with the singer listing out the days and creating an atmosphere of finality. The line, "Monday Morning out the door, Tuesday Morning out to shore, Wednesday Morning there'll be no more of me" is devastatingly effective as it drives home the idea that he's leaving everything and everyone behind.

You won't see anything
It's been a nice time
But it's time for me to leave
I'm packing all my bags
And then I'll be on my way, honey
Monday morning, out the door
Tuesday morning, out to shore
Wednesday morning, there'll be no more of me
Every time I wake up now
I feel something so real
The room is spinning round
It's spinning out of control
I can't sleep anymore
'Cause it's been too long and been too late for me
I'm walking out the door
And then I'll be on my way, honey
Monday morning, making tea
Tuesday morning, out to sea
Wednesday morning, you won't see me again
We used to skip along all the rain
Why'd you need a reason for the things you say?
I'm not sure if I can ease the pain
We all know what's coming so why do we still live in fear?
Monday morning, out the door
Tuesday morning, out to shore
Wednesday morning, there'll be no more of me
Monday morning, leaving home
Tuesday morning, on my own
Wednesday morning, you should've known by now

I always get this song pop up in my mind on random empty days 😢😢 I finally found it again.
Superb
This song feels nostalgic, probably how I've moved so many times and many difficulties I've experienced, with all of it seemingly so close. Great song Chris! Keep making awesome music!
Christopher Tom
Thank you so much! I'm glad it was able to evoke a feeling of nostalgia. It was definitely inspired by past decades of music.
