Morning
Sonia Rao Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Morning comes
I don't even know you
I see through it all
It means nothing to you

It's so hard to breathe
So I lay here waiting
Wait forever
Nothing's going to change I see that now

There are no words
You make no sound
They all got swallowed up
I flatten myself to the ground

My body waits
For something more
My skin yells silently
My heart is pounding on the door

I wanted love
I wanted anything but this
Can't even cry
Don't think that I believe it

I felt his gaze
I felt his hands
I saw my sister's face
I saw my father turn away

Soft now
I try to be somewhere else now
There is too much going on now
I escape him but he's always coming back to me

Morning comes
I don't even know you
I see through it all
It means nothing to you

It's so hard to breathe
So I lay here waiting




Wait forever
Nothing's going to change I see that now

Overall Meaning

The song "Morning" by Sonia Rao is a haunting ballad that explores the pain and confusion of a relationship that has gone sour. The lyrics describe a feeling of disconnect between two people who were once close but have drifted apart. The singer is struggling with the realization that her partner no longer cares about her or the relationship. She feels unseen and unheard, as though her words and feelings have been swallowed up by a void.


The opening line, "Morning comes, I don't even know you" sets the tone for the rest of the song. The singer is waking up to a new day, but nothing has changed in her life. She is still alone, still unloved, still struggling to find a way forward. The repetition of the phrase "it means nothing to you" emphasizes her frustration and sense of abandonment.


The second verse shifts from a description of the singer's emotions to a series of vivid images that convey a sense of danger and trauma. She describes feeling flattened to the ground, her skin yelling silently, and her heart pounding on the door. These phrases suggest that the singer has experienced some kind of trauma, possibly at the hands of her partner. The line "I saw my sister's face, I saw my father turn away" adds to this sense of family dysfunction and betrayal.


Throughout the song, the singer tries to escape her pain by "trying to be somewhere else" and "escaping him" (presumably her partner). But she acknowledges that "he's always coming back to me," suggesting that her trauma is something she cannot easily escape.


Overall, "Morning" is a deeply personal and introspective song that speaks to the pain of lost love and the struggle to move forward after a traumatic experience. The lyrics are evocative and emotional, and Rao's vocals are hauntingly beautiful.
