Suicide Sunday
The Friday Night Boys Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I woke up sweating to a sinking sun
The front doors open and the TVs on
And I still can't remember
So tell me where we were
And what we did last night
Were there really fireworks up in the sky?
Does it even matter?
Another suicide sunday
Another way to go nowhere
Another day to do nothing
A new-millennial nightmare
Another suicide sunday
Another reason we don't care
You know we're doing it our way
Another suicide Sunday
How many days in a row can I wear these clothes?
I hear the phone ringing, think I let it go
I don't wanna face it
I wish I had a girl to keep me occupied.
'Cause I don't even have the energy to go outside
Might as well just make it
Another suicide Sunday
Another way to go nowhere
Another day to do nothing
A new-millennial nightmare
Another suicide Sunday
Another reason we don't care
You know we're doing it our way
Another suicide Sunday
Don't need to be so condescending
To the depths that I'm descending
I'm not asking you for anything
For anything at all
Na Na Na Na...
Another suicide Sunday
Another way to go nowhere
Another day to do nothing
A new-millennial nightmare
Another suicide Sunday
Another reason we don't care
You know we're doing it our way
Another suicide Sunday x2
Another way to go nowhere
Another way to do nothing
A new-millennial nightmare
Another suicide Sunday
Another reason we don't care




You know we're doing it our way
Another suicide Sunday

Overall Meaning

The Friday Night Boys's song "Suicide Sunday" is a reflection of the overwhelming feeling of emptiness and lack of purpose that comes with modern-day living. The song depicts the aftermath of a wild night, waking up disheveled and unsure of what transpired. The opening lines "I woke up sweating to a sinking sun, the front doors open and the TVs on, and I still can't remember" sets the tone for the entire song, showcasing that the singer is lost and disorientated, unsure of the direction his life is heading.


Throughout the song, it becomes apparent that the singer is mentally and emotionally drained, with lines like "How many days in a row can I wear these clothes?" and "I don't even have the energy to go outside." The theme is enhanced by the use of the phrase "Another Suicide Sunday," emphasizing a sense of hopelessness and despair that come with each passing day that is not fulfilling. The singer is struggling to find joy in life and is living in a new millennium nightmare where the world is perceived to be uncaring about personal well-being.


In conclusion, "Suicide Sunday" is a powerful commentary on the disconnect between modern society and individual fulfillment. The song emphasizes the notion that people are going through the motions of living but aren't genuinely living life to the fullest. The use of the phrase "suicide Sunday" is symbolic in the sense that it seems as though the singer is killing time, waiting to either expire or finally find something to motivate him to live.
