H2O Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I was way too young for this day
The phone rang, and her fates changed
And that's when all the pain came
I sat there trying to comprehend
I'll never see my dad again
He never saw me singing
He never saw me spell my name
And the images won't fade
Your voice, my joy, your pain
It's painted on my brain
No matter what I do or say
Another sunday morning
The biggest day of my life
She said "there's something inside me
Nine months and you will meet him"
In the delivery room I'm a patient boy
I wait, I wait, I wait
For the new life we created
If he's watching above would he be proud?
It's painted on my brain
Your voice, my joy, your pain
It's painted on my brain
No matter what I do or say
These images won't fade
PAINTED ON MY BRAIN
These images won't fade
Your voice, my joy, your pain
It's painted on my brain
No matter what I do or say
These images won't fade
Your voice, my joy, your pain
It's painted on my brain
No matter what I do or say
These images won't fade
H2O's "Sunday" is a deeply personal song that delves into the youthful experiences of frontman Toby Morse, including the loss of his father and the birth of his son. The track begins with a haunting recounting of the day Morse received the news that his father had passed away. In the face of such a traumatic event, Morse finds himself struggling to understand the finality of death and the fact that he will never again see his father. The line "He never saw me singing / He never saw me spell my name" is especially heart-wrenching, as it highlights the sense of loss that accompanies the death of a loved one.
The second half of "Sunday" is a more hopeful reflection on the birth of Morse's son, a moment that allowed him to experience the joy of new life and create new memories with his own family. The lyrics are imbued with a sense of wonder and awe, as Morse marvels at the idea that he and his wife have created another human being. The line "If he's watching above would he be proud?" serves as a poignant reminder of the many ways in which our loved ones continue to shape our lives, even after they're gone.
Overall, "Sunday" is a powerful testament to the ways in which we are shaped by the events and people in our lives. The song is marked by an emotional honesty and depth of feeling that is rare in punk rock, and speaks to the enduring influence of family, loss, and hope in our lives.
