Sunday Afternoon
Raul Vaigla Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I was sure, that I'll
be the one I want
And I was sure'
I'll be the one you want

But I can't get holding on
From the words that I can keep

Tell me why...
what's wrong with me I want
to know
Tell me why...
I don't know

Can you see The world is
smiling and fall in love with

me
Can you see now???

Overall Meaning

Raul Vaigla's song "Sunday Afternoon" seems to be a reflection on the uncertainty and confusion that can arise when trying to figure out one's place in the world and in a relationship. The lyrics suggest that the singer was once confident in their own identity and their potential with their partner, but something has happened to shake that belief. They lament that they can't seem to hold onto the words that would bring clarity and understanding.

The chorus serves as a plea for answers: the singer wonders what is wrong with them, why they can't figure things out, and why their partner seems distant. At the same time, they acknowledge that the world itself is beautiful and full of possibilities - perhaps indicating that the potential for happiness is always there, even if it may be difficult to access.
