Smith Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yuh!
So I’ve had visions of
Misconceptions
Working so hard Just to
Look in the wrong Directions
Tryna fled the scene As I’m
Waiting for my Redemption
Thinking bout my life, guess its
Time to take a Reflection
All the good days
Of running outside to play
Running far away
Was nothing much in my Brain
Humbled in a way
Just knowing where I would stay
The People all around me
They gather around and pray
I can’t wait for Sunday
I was sitting right in my Element
All the friends round me
Didn’t try to be relevant
Wasn’t working so hard
Just to try and be excellent
Wasn’t sitting, making songs
As a personal testament
It’s pretty evident
Me and X hanging round
Like a permanent resident
Sundays after church
That was a definite
We would yell so loud
You would think it’s pelican
Or Elephant
Yeah!
Climb a tree
As far as the eye could see
Fall out
Grazed knees
Was nothing that new to me
Yuh
I’m feeling free
So fresh!
When I Breathe
Was sowing a seed
So then
My whole future succeeds
And yuh
It’s amazing
What we Come through
Walking down
Dirt roads
Wearing no shoes
Go to church
Praise the lord
Yeah it’s so true
I just need that soul food
Sundays! What we gone do?
Yuh
Some Days
We all need a Sunday
One Day
We all can be happy
We’re all here
Just working
But Soon I will Leave
This world behind
So I say
No complaints
Just behave
Enjoy life
While we play
A free day
It’s God’s way
On Sunday
And soon I will see
The world is mine
Sundays, Sundays
Sundays, Sundays
I’m getting these flashbacks
The memories comeback
All the friends showed Love
And never would turn back
I started to think back
The bigger the Impact
If my life was a Song
Then this is the soundtrack
Ha!
Through every season
I was filled up with Freedom
Everybody would Smile
And Never Thought about Leaving
Everybody was Dreaming
Man I’m missing the Feeling
Talking bout Sundays
It always kept me believing
And Growing up was a bit surreal
Environment all around
Wasn’t that ideal
If you were in my shoes
It would be unreal
But I guess it’s the place
That I needed to heal
We moved out
And we switching tracks
Went a different way
Can’t complain
I’m trowing back
Start a new school
New people
I feel attacked
They so Prideful
Maybe now
You can send me back
Now you can send me back
Yeah now you can send me back
I miss Sundays
With the people that love me back
I say a couple prayers
And I’m hoping to hear them back
A few Sundays
In the way
Could me help me relax
Facts
Some Days
We all need a Sunday
One Day
We all can be happy
We’re all here
Just working
But Soon I will Leave




This world behind
Yeah!

Overall Meaning

The first verse of Smith's "Sundays" appears to be introspective, as the artist describes the process of self-reflection and the need for redemption. He also reflects on his childhood, where he spent time running outside and enjoying life with friends without the pressure to be excellent. Sundays stood out as a special day, where he could go to church and be around supportive people who believed in him. Moving to a new school, however, changed things, and Smith began to feel attacked.


However, Smith's time spent reflecting helped him come to the realization that Sundays were important to his growth and development. The memories of being around supportive people gave him hope and inspiration to keep going. The song invokes a sense of nostalgia for simpler times and close relationships. Smith recognizes the importance of taking time to unwind and enjoy life amidst the chaos of work and responsibilities.


Overall, "Sundays" seems to be a lyrical representation of the importance of taking time to appreciate the small moments in life, particularly those spent with people you love and who love you back.

You and me we made a vow
For better or for worse
I can't believe you let me down
But the proof's in the way it hurts
For months on end I've had my doubts
Denying every tear
I wish this would be over now
But I know that I still need you here
You say I'm crazy
'Cause you don't think I know what you've done
But when you call me baby
I know I'm not the only one
You've been so unavailable
Now sadly I know why
Your heart is unobtainable
Even though Lord knows you kept mine
You say I'm crazy
'Cause you don't think I know what you've done
But when you call me baby
I know I'm not the only one
I have loved you for many years
Maybe I am just not enough
You've made me realize my deepest fear
By lying and tearing us up
You say I'm crazy
'Cause you don't think I know what you've done
But when you call me baby
I know I'm not the only one
You say I'm crazy
'Cause you don't think I know what you've done
But when you call me baby
I know I'm not the only one
I know I'm not the only one
I know I'm not the only one
And I know, and I know, and I know
And I know, and I know, and I know, know
I know I'm not the only one

"I'm Not The Only One"

You and me, we made a vow
For better or for worse
I can't believe you let me down
But the proof's in the way it hurts

For months on end I've had my doubts
Denying every tear
I wish this would be over now
But I know that I still need you here

You say I'm crazy
'Cause you don't think I know what you've done
But when you call me baby
I know I'm not the only one

You've been so unavailable
Now sadly I know why
Your heart is unobtainable
Even though Lord knows you kept mine

You say I'm crazy
'Cause you don't think I know what you've done
But when you call me baby
I know I'm not the only one

I have loved you for many years
Maybe I am just not enough
You've made me realize my deepest fear
By lying and tearing us up

You say I'm crazy
'Cause you don't think I know what you've done
But when you call me baby
I know I'm not the only one

You say I'm crazy
'Cause you don't think I know what you've done
But when you call me baby
I know I'm not the only one

I know I'm not the only one
I know I'm not the only one
And I know
And I know
And I know
And I know
And I know
And I don't know
I know I'm not the only one

@Soluchi-InfiniteCoCreatorGod

I never understand how people can make a vow of commitment and cheat. Just break up and do whatever you want. Don't Cheat. It Hurts like hell.

@hindkhelfi

I agree with you a 100%

@crystaltea5303

Really? The cheating part isnt the part that bothers me, it is the distance between me and the one I love, that is actually what gets to me.. That when he is with her, he isnt with me, that bothers me.. but only because I want to actually share more time with him.. Strange isnt it, most women are angry because of the lie, or because of the act it's self.. Im upset because I genuinely care about him more, and want to be able to experience more time with him.. funny world isnt it.

@robinholts9188

I agree but what I hate is how like in the video they stay. Like for example she knows he's off cheating on her, she burns his cloths but she doesn't leave him... All I was thinking during this video was " Quinn leave you can do better!!!" (If you watch glee you'll get it)

@seniorpantos

Some people are simply different and people get hurt all the time. -- In & out of vows. -- Often by people doing whatever they want, at another's expense. ---  I think communication can help but doubt we could be immune from being hurt. And isn't that the true beauty in being alive. -- Feeling.

@Dreemccoll

SAME! I've never understood it either. But I've never cheated, so I don't have the mind of a cheater.

This song hits hard because my mum used to listen to it all the time. I never understood why back then and assumed she just liked the song. But it’s only now that I realised why she listened to it religiously and I cry every time I hear it. My dad left my mum for a woman he met a couple of times and left behind my mum and 4 young kids. Me being the youngest of the 4. I can’t help but cry for my mum’s sake every time I hear this song…

Edit: Wow I really didn’t expect so many people from all over the world to show support and empathy and I am truly so grateful for every single comment, I read them all <3 I’m 18 now, my ‘father’ left while my mum was 6 months pregnant with me, he wasn’t there for my birth like he was to my older brothers. Maybe it was partly because I was the first and only girl, or maybe because he truly didn’t care. But my mum and my family have moved on from this trauma now and honestly even though I am still young at 18, I don’t think I will ever meet another person as strong as my mum. She really worked three jobs to raise us four and I’m so grateful. I can’t wait for when I can repay her with gifts and money of my own. She deserves every ounce of spoiling with love and gifts.

@wingchrist3900

Take care

@randomcodgm4771

Be strong bro, this made you a very strong person

@reubeng2110

i feel for you and for your mom and siblings. i hope all of your family left behind by your father have learned to cope with it and move forward
