Sunday Dinners
The Game Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

No more Sunday dinners
Wish you could see your grandson now
Got bigger, all grown now
Got a daughter think she grown now
Just started walkin, just started talkin
She can potty on her own now

Life is good, memories are better
We all gotta go, I know it's cold, grab a sweater
We can take that ride together




Cry whatever, die whatever
Walk through the sky together, huh

Overall Meaning

The Game's song Sunday Dinners is a poignant reflection on the passage of time and the importance of family. The opening lyrics, "No more Sunday dinners, wish you could see your grandson now," immediately set a somber tone. The singer is lamenting the loss of his loved ones and the traditions they shared, particularly the weekly family gatherings that used to bring them all together. The sentiment is further underlined by the mention of his now-grown son and daughter, who are no longer the children they once were.


Despite the sadness of the situation, the singer takes comfort in the memories he has of his family, acknowledging that "life is good, memories are better." He also recognizes the inevitability of death and the importance of facing it with loved ones by his side. The final lines of the song, "Walk through the sky together, huh," suggest a belief in an afterlife or higher plane of existence that the singer expects to share with his family members who have passed away.


Overall, Sunday Dinners is a deeply personal and emotive song that speaks to the universal themes of loss, love, and family.
