Sundays (The) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We are told they've gone out
Time you learned your lesson
We all know that
Tell me boys are you out there?
The flesh is weak & the mind slow
By now, you could say there's a problem
And it rained down on me
It poured down over me
I'm wet through but I still want more
Peace love now what?
Don't go telling me you've had them
O delighted, we all know
We won't be alive any more and
By now you could say there's a problem
And it rained down on me
And it seemed to get into me
I'm soaked to my skin
I'm wet through
I really ought to be in
Will you let me have a sign?
And somebody ought to reply
We'll take anything at all
Understand me?
Fun times we have known
That's what we're like
We've just taken them all
And I still don't remember how I got home
Don't tell me where we're going
Now I know we won't be alive any more
The lyrics to "More" by The Sundays seem to have a theme of wanting more from life, but feeling lost and unsure of how to achieve it. The opening lines, "Burning questions, we are told they've gone out. Time you learned your lesson, we all know that," suggest a feeling of disillusionment or disappointment with conventional wisdom. The next lines, "Tell me boys are you out there? The flesh is weak & the mind slow," could be interpreted as a direct call for help or comfort from someone else who understands these feelings.
The chorus of the song continues the theme of wanting more from life. The lines "And it rained down on me, and it seemed to get into me, I'm wet through but I still want more" could be seen as a metaphor for experiencing a setback or disappointment, but still having a strong desire for something more fulfilling. The repetition of "I'm wet through" and "I still want more" adds to the sense of urgency and desire.
The final lines of the song, "Don't tell me where we're going, Now I know we won't be alive any more," suggest a feeling of sadness or resignation about the future. The repeated use of "we" throughout the song could suggest a sense of community or shared experience among the people being addressed in the song. Overall, the lyrics convey a sense of longing and uncertainty, but also a desire to keep striving for something more meaningful.

Peace love now what?
Wondering what comes after peace and love
Don't go telling me you've had them
I don't want to hear that you have already experienced something I haven't

We are all excited and aware of something
We won't be alive any more and
We don't have much time left

And I still don't remember how I got home
I am so immersed in my experiences that I can't recall details
Don't tell me where we're going
I prefer to remain unaware of what is ahead
Now I know we won't be alive any more
Now I realize that time is running out
