Sunday
Eryn Allen Kane Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Monday it wasn't enough
Tuesday I felt so small
Wednesday was the worst of them all
So Thursday I went to church
And Friday was just as worse
Saturday I took your name
Sunday, Sunday, I felt just the same
They got his son and his father too
Said he'll spend the rest of my life with you
For a number one child to call our own
Who always gets to come back home
So take my home, we'll stay on this goal
Of crossfires and crowds are blown
The sun goes down and the rain will be ever more
But you and I, but you and I
Oh we won't bring more blood into this war
We won't bring more blood into this war
Tell me why shouldn't we sow our seeds?
For this love we share deserves a family tree
So I say it's [?]up to give someone the best of you and me
And let the worst be
And let the worst be
When it comes our way at the end of the day
I'll be on your side if you'll be on mine
And together we will make this child tonight
Name this child tonight
The lyrics of Eryn Allen Kane's song Sunday depict the tumultuous nature of a relationship that goes through a rollercoaster of emotions throughout the week. The first verse portrays the abruptness of falling in love on Sunday, only to feel a detachment from it on Monday. The following days follow suit, with the singer feeling smaller and worse each day until they find solace in church on Thursday. However, Friday doesn't offer any relief, and it's only on Saturday when they commit to the person they love. But come Sunday, they still feel the same uncertainty and insecurity as before.
The second verse seems to discuss a larger theme of war and violence and its impact on families. The singer talks about someone dear getting pulled into the war, and how they both must work towards a future where they can have a child and not bring "more blood into this war." The lines "So take my home, we'll stay on this goal / Of crossfires and crowds are blown" could signify the idea of them having to give up their homes and personal lives to work towards building a future together that isn't marred by war.
The chorus speaks of the importance of continuing to work towards a future despite the uncertainties of the present. The singer urges their partner to "sow their seeds" and build a family tree based on the love they share. They acknowledge that the worst will come their way, but they should let it be and focus on making their love work.
