Something
Everyday Sunday Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Time to find what's wrong and what's right
Can't keep going, doing this nothing
Gotta fill this void inside
So, now the pressure keeps moving
It's taking up the inside
Why does it want to haunt me
It's like I never knew You
But then You came around
I'm gonna push it harder
Cause then I found You
In time you decide that you don't like the truth
But it never wanted life to deal with you
So decide if these burdens are too hard to bear
Or if the cross is something less than what you care
It's like I never knew You
But then You came around
I'm gonna push it harder
Cause then I found You
So, now you're telling me something
Time to find what's wrong and what's right
Can't keep going, doing this nothing
Gotta fill this void inside
So, now the pressure keeps moving
It's taking up the inside
Why does it want to haunt me
It's time to come alive
It's like I never knew You
But then You came around
I'm gonna push it harder
Cause then I found You
The lyrics of Everyday Sunday's song Something express the internal struggle of the singer to find meaning and purpose in their life. The song begins with the singer being told "something," which prompts them to search for what is right and wrong in their life. They feel empty and unsatisfied with their current state of being and are determined to fill the void inside. The pressure inside of them is building, and they feel haunted by it, but they know it's time to come alive.
The refrain of the song repeats the line "It's like I never knew You, but then You came around, I'm gonna push it harder, 'cause then I found You." This can be interpreted as the singer finding a sense of purpose and meaning through their faith in God. They may have gone through life feeling lost and directionless until they found their faith, which gave them a reason to push harder and keep going.
The bridge of the song presents a choice to the listener: decide if the burdens of life are too heavy to bear or if the cross (symbolic of the sacrifice of Jesus Christ) is less valuable than they care for. This choice can be interpreted as the choice between embracing a life of faith or rejecting it.
Overall, the lyrics of Something by Everyday Sunday are an expression of the struggles many people face in finding purpose and meaning in their lives. Through the religious imagery presented throughout the song, the singer seems to suggest that finding faith can be a way to fill the void and find purpose.
