Monday
Regrettes Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

(Okay, oh, just, oh should we go now?)

Open my door, I step between my clothes
Can't find the floor, yeah it's been like this before
Still washing stains but I know they won't fade
These growing pains, they push me 'til I break

I'm pulling down my eyelids two at a time
I swear it's just my sinuses, I'll be fine
An existential crisis and it's only a Monday
Tell me I'm alive
Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah

Gotta get the fuck out of LA (yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah)
Run from the sun before it burns my brain (yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah)
I'll cut the breaks
Hey, I'm still alive (yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah)

No sympathy, don't look at me that way
'Cause physically, well I'm falling into space
And typically, yeah, I'd wrap it in a bow
But honestly, the cracks, they start to show (break)

I'm pulling down my eyelids two at a time
I swear it's just my sinuses, I'll be fine
An existential crisis and it's only a Monday
Tell me I'm alive
Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah

Gotta get the fuck out of LA (yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah)
Run from the sun before it burns my brain (yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah)
I'll cut the breaks
Hey, I'm still alive (yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah) (yeah)




I'm pulling down my eyelids two at a time
I swear it's just my sinuses, I'll be fine
An existential crisis and it's only a Monday
Tell me I'm alive
Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah

Gotta get the fuck out of LA (yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah)
Run from the sun before it burns my brain (yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah)
I'll cut the breaks
Hey, I'm still alive (yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Monday" by The Regrettes capture the feeling of being overwhelmed by the struggles and routines of daily life. The singer describes the chaos in their room, unable to find the floor amidst their clothes and battling with stubborn stains that won't fade. These physical struggles reflect the internal turmoil and growing pains they are experiencing, pushing them to their breaking point.


The imagery of pulling down eyelids two at a time suggests exhaustion and a desire to escape reality, perhaps through sleep or avoidance. The mention of sinus issues could be a metaphor for feeling blocked or stagnant, but the singer reassures themselves that they will be okay, despite facing an existential crisis on just a Monday. This juxtaposition of mundane struggles with deeper existential questioning highlights the complexity of emotions the singer is grappling with.


The desire to escape from Los Angeles symbolizes a longing for freedom from the pressures and constraints of their current environment. The urgency to run away from the sun before it "burns my brain" conveys a sense of feeling overwhelmed and seeking respite. The decision to "cut the breaks" suggests a reckless impulse to break away from their current circumstances, even if it involves taking risks.


The lyrics touch on the theme of feeling unseen or misunderstood by others, with the singer rejecting sympathy and urging not to be judged. Despite physical and emotional challenges, the singer acknowledges their vulnerabilities and imperfections, recognizing that cracks are starting to show. The repetition of the chorus reinforces a sense of urgency and desperation to feel alive and break free from the weight of their struggles, embodying a raw and relatable expression of inner turmoil and the search for meaning amidst the chaos of everyday life.

When things were at their very worst:
2 Suns, Cross in the sky, 2 comets will collide = don`t be afraid – repent, accept Lord`s Hand of Mercy.
Scientists will say it was a global illusion.
Beware – Jesus will never walk in flesh again.
After WW3 – rise of the “ man of peace“ from the East = Antichrist – the most powerful, popular, charismatic and influential leader of all time. Many miracles will be attributed to him. He will imitate Jesus in every conceivable way.
Don`t trust „pope“ Francis = the False Prophet
- will seem to rise from the dead
- will unite all Christian Churches and all Religions as one.
One World Religion = the seat of the Antichrist.
Benedict XVI is the last true pope - will be accused of a crime of which he is totally innocent.

"Arab uprising will spark global unrest – Italy will trigger fall out"

"The time for the schism in the Church is almost here and you must get prepared now"
