Copied from the band's Myspace:
Straight out of Northeast Kansas, comes The Primetime Heroes. The band bashes out perfect melodic punk rock with lots of guitar and tons of sing along harmony to keep you rockin'. A veritable pop-punk rock and roll machine, the group was formed in 2002. In the past two years, the group has recorded and released two albums on Noisome Records and become a consistent draw throughout the Midwest. And with a live show that features an abundance of punk-rock aerials, Mike Ness guitar stances, and three-fourths of the band in constant motion -- and a drummer who barely keeps his seat at that -- the Primetime Heroes bring a glimmer of excitement to any live show. The Primetime Heroes trace their influences to the early punk bands of the late 70s and to the pop punks sounds of today from bands like Lagwagon, New Found Glory, Screeching Weasel, and Green Day. The band has mostly toured in the Midwest, but has also traveled outside the area to play shows in Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, New Jersey, Oklahoma, Indiana, Iowa, and Nebraska. Add to the mix the recent release of their sophomore album, "A Date With Destiny," recorded at Black Lodge Studios (owned by members of The Get Up Kids) with rock production god Ed Rose (Get Up Kids, Ultimate Fakebook). The Lawrence Journal World’s entertainment website, Lawrence.com describes the record as having a "youthful punk rock exuberance" and "radio-ready." Kansas City’s Pitch Weekly calls the release "hard to resist." The Primetime Heroes are an untapped resource in the world of pop punk, and are just waiting to break into the big time. Their shows aren't to be missed, and the albums are a series of hook-filled tunes that grab the listener by the ears and demand to be heard.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Did you think I'd let all of this shit fade
Did you think I'd Let it go away
Like I was the one to blame
So your thinking about tomorrow
Paying no attention to today
Forgot about my past
And I say…
What to do for me
What to do for you
I don't know about this
And I ain't got a clue
Everything for me's just
Going down
What to do for me
What to do for you
I don't know about this
And I ain't got a clue
Everything for me's just
Going down
So your thinking about today
Everybody's going there own way
Followers aren't what they once were
And your feeling insecure
And I say...
What to do for me
What to do for you
I don't know about this
And I ain't got a clue
Everything for me's just
Going down
What to do for me
What to do for you
I don't know about this
And I ain't got a clue
Everything for me's just
Going down
It's going down
It's going down
It's going down
I'm drunk
I'm drunk
I'm drunk
But It sure is fun
I'm drunk
I'm drunk
I'm drunk
But It sure is fun
I'm drunk
I'm drunk
I'm drunk
But It sure is fun
I'm drunk
I'm drunk
Yea I'm going
It's going
down
It's going

It's going
down
It's going
down
It's going
down
It's going
down
It's going
down
It's going down
The Primetime Heroes's song "Sunday" is a raw and emotional reflection on life's uncertainties and struggles. The lead singer questions whether he can move on from the past, and how to navigate the confusing present. The lyric "Did you think I'd forget about it all, Did you think I'd let all of this shit fade" conveys this sense of dread and helplessness. The singer is grappling with feelings of guilt and blame, and wondering how to move forward. The chorus serves as a reminder that sometimes life can be challenging, and we may not have all the answers. The repetition of the phrase "What to do for me, What to do for you" reinforces this sense of confusion and uncertainty.
The second verse delves deeper into the complications of modern life, and the difficulty of finding one's place in a rapidly changing world. The lines "Followers aren't what they once were, And your feeling insecure" speak to the societal pressure to conform and fit in, and the fear of being left behind. The chorus repeats the same soul-searching theme, while the final lines "It's going down, It's going down" suggest the inevitable decline of all things.
In the bridge, the singer acknowledges that he is drunk and that he is having fun despite the uncertainty of his life. This is a nod to the idea that sometimes we need to let go and have a good time, even when things seem out of control.
Overall, "Sunday" is a poignant and relatable exploration of life's difficult moments, and a testament to the power of music to help us process them.
Line by Line Meaning
Did you think I'd forget about it all
You thought I wouldn't remember anything that happened between us
Did you think I'd let all of this shit fade
You thought I wouldn't care about the things that hurt me
Did you think I'd Let it go away
You thought I would just forgive and forget everything that you did
Like I was the one to blame
As if everything that happened was solely my fault
So your thinking about tomorrow
You're always focused on the future, not the present
Paying no attention to today
You don't care about the present moment
Forgot about my past
You didn't care about my history or my experiences
Reliving it will be fun anyway
You think it's okay to bring up painful memories just for your own entertainment
What to do for me
I don't know how to help myself
What to do for you
I have no idea how to help you
I don't know about this
I'm not sure what to do or think
And I ain't got a clue
I have no idea what to do or what's going on
Everything for me's just
Everything in my life is falling apart
Going down
Things are getting worse and worse
So your thinking about today
You're finally realizing that you need to focus on the present moment
Everybody's going there own way
Everyone is doing their own thing, so you feel lost
Followers aren't what they once were
People aren't following you like they used to
And your feeling insecure
You're starting to feel anxious and unsure
It's going down
Everything is falling apart
I'm drunk
I'm not thinking clearly
But It sure is fun
But it's enjoyable to forget about everything for a little while
Yea I'm going
Yes, I'm falling apart
