Sunday
Moby Featuring Sinéad O'Connor Lyrics

Sunday is gloomy,
The singer is feeling down and mournful as they begin the song, likely tied to the fact that it's a dark and bleak Sunday.

My hours are slumberless,
The singer is having trouble sleeping, perhaps because of the emotional pain they're experiencing.

Dearest the shadows I live with are numberless
The singer is overwhelmed by feelings of sadness and despair, as they feel like they're surrounded by shadows that represent those negative emotions.

Little white flowers will Never awaken you
The artist is contemplating death and the idea that even beauty (in the form of flowers) can't overcome the finality of passing away.

Not where the black coach Of sorrow has taken you
The artist is acknowledging that death is often a painful and difficult process, and that it's not a peaceful or calming experience for those involved.

Angels have no thought of Ever returning you
The singer is questioning whether there's any way for deceased loved ones to come back or be brought back, acknowledging that such thoughts may be hopeless and illusory.

Would they be angry If I thought of joining you
The singer is acknowledging that they're experiencing suicidal thoughts or desires, and they're questioning how their loved ones who've passed on might feel about those.

Sunday is gloomy.
The refrain repeats the opening line, emphasizing the sense of sadness and despair that the artist is feeling on this particular day.

With shadows I spend it all
The artist is emphasizing that they're consumed by feelings of loss, fear, sadness, and despair that feel inescapable and impossible to overcome.

My heart and I have decided to end it all
The artist is describing thoughts of suicide that they're experiencing, and the idea that both they and the emotions they're feeling are ready to come to an end.

Soon there'll be flowers
The singer is acknowledging that, in death, there will be funeral flowers to mark the occasion.

And prayers that are sad,
The artist is acknowledging that funerals and mourners will be sad and in mourning after their death.

I know, let them not weep,
The singer is acknowledging that they're at peace with the idea of dying, and they don't want their loved ones to be overly upset or mourn them too deeply.

Let them know That I'm glad to go
The singer is describing a sense of acceptance and even happiness at the idea of dying, and they want their loved ones to know that they're okay with this decision.

Death is no dream,
The singer is acknowledging that death is real and that it's not merely a figment of their imagination.

For in death I'm caressing you
The artist is describing the idea that death may bring them back into the arms of their deceased loved one, reuniting them in some form upon their own passing.

With the last breath of my Soul I'll be blessing you
The artist is describing their belief in an afterlife, and the idea that they'll send a message of love and well-wishes to their loved one upon their own death.

Gloomy Sunday
The refrain is repeated once again, emphasizing the sense of despair and sadness that feels inescapable for the singer.

Dreaming I was only dreaming
The singer is acknowledging that their previous thoughts of death and suicide may have been unreal or unattainable, and that they were merely dreaming or fantasizing about those outcomes.

I wake and I find you Asleep in the deep of My heart dear
The artist is describing the continued sense of grieving and memory that they carry for their lost loved one, and how they continue to live on inside the artist's heart and mind.

Darling I hope that my dream Never haunted you
The artist is hoping that their thoughts of death and suicide haven't caused any harm or emotional pain for their living loved one.

My heart is telling you How much I wanted you
The artist is expressing the extent of their love and affection for their lost loved one, even in death, and how much they continue to miss and desire them.
