Monday Morning
Student Rick Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Work sucks, this is the part that I dread
7:30 the bus came early again
My luck, my girlfriend turned gay
And now I'm sitting here
Trying to find myself
And I feel like I'm heading nowhere
[Chorus]
Sunny Monday
And nothing's going my way
Forgotten tradgedy
It only rains on me
But I'm still breathing
Will this day ever end
It's only Monday
Times are changing
How will I ever survive
With no job
Lucky to be alive
I'm on a journey
To dig myself out of this
What a drag
All the good times I missed
And now I'm sitting here
Trying to find myself
and I feel I'm heading nowhere
It's only Monday
[Chorus: x3]

The person is breathing, but nothing seems to be going their way. The singer is on a journey, trying to dig themselves out of this sense of despair.

Unfortunately, my girlfriend realized that she's gay and we can no longer be together

Once again, it's just the beginning of the week and I'm already struggling
