On a Sunday
Ester Peony Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You left me on a Sunday
And I still remember that day in September
Yeah, you left me on a Sunday
Made sure there's no way to forget that day

Say hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Loving you is a hard price to pay
Hey, hey, hey, hey

Watching the smoke rise from the ashtray
Filling the room with pain
It's still in my veins
Can't feel at home, 'cause it's so lonely
So cold and so grey since you left that day
You know, you know

Even if the sun rises and the world moves on everyday
Hey, hey, hey
I will always be waiting for you to come back home to me
To me, to me

Hey, hey, hey, hey
Loving you is a hard price to pay
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Loving you is a hard price to pay
Hey, hey, hey, hey

Wake me up from this nightmare
Is this even true?
Am I without you?
Love's not fair
Oh, I have learned that
Just never knew that I'll be losing you
You know, you know

Even if the sun rises and the world moves on everyday
Hey, hey, hey
I will always be waiting for you to come back home to me
To me, to me

Hey
(Loving you is a hard price to pay)
Hey

Hey, hey, hey




(Loving you is a hard price to pay)
Hey, hey

Overall Meaning

The song "On a Sunday" by Ester Peony speaks to the heartache and longing one feels after being left by someone they love. The lyrics convey a sense of emptiness and loneliness that one experiences when they are left by someone they thought they would spend their life with. The opening line, "you left me on a Sunday," starts the song with a sense of finality - the idea that this person left on a day of rest and relaxation creates a juxtaposition to the pain and turmoil the singer is feeling.


The second stanza speaks to the memories that the singer cannot escape. Instead of finding solace in their home, the memories of the person who left fill the room with pain. It is a place that is cold and lonely, and the singer wonders if they will ever feel at home again. The chorus serves as a reminder that loving someone can be a hard price to pay. The pain and heartache are not reasons to stop loving, but it is a reminder that loving someone comes with a cost.


The bridge of the song expresses a feeling of desperation and disbelief. The singer is asking themselves if this is a nightmare or if it is real. They are grappling with the idea that they are living life without the person they love, and that reality is too much to bear. The final chorus speaks to the hope that the singer still carries. Even if the world continues to move forward each day, they will always be waiting for the person who left to come back home to them.

Rise from the ashtray
Filling the room with pain
It's still in my veins

Can't feel at home
Cuz it's so lonely
So cold and so grey
Since you left that day
You know, you know

To me, to me, to me hey

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Loving you is a hard price to pay
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
