Someone
The Sunday Sadness Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
On a Sunday night
The room is cold but I'm sitting on the ground
And there is no sound
On a Sunday night
A sob, a sigh under the city lights
I'm going crazy
On a Sunday night
I won't just let it drag me down
Even if you don't help me out
I tried my best to do without
All the things we've talked about
I won't just let it drag me down
Even if you don't help me out
I tried my best to do without
All the things we've talked about
The Sun is fading
On a Sunday night
The sound of the sirens clouding every thought
And there is your song
On a Sunday night
The one you used to sing when
We were alright
I won't just let it drag me down
Even if you don't help me out
I tried my best to do without
All the things we've talked about
I won't just let it drag me down
Even if you don't help me out
I tried my best to do without
All the things we've talked about
I won't just let it drag me down
Even if you don't help me out
I tried my best to do without
All the things we've talked about
I won't just let it drag me down
Even if you don't help me out
I tried my best to do without
All the things we've talked about
The Sunday Sadness's song Someone captures the profound sense of loneliness and heartbreak one can feel on a rainy Sunday night. The first verse speaks of a cold room and the silence, punctuated only by sobs and sighs under the city lights. The singer admits to feeling 'crazy' and the shadows seem to be mocking them. The chorus is a statement of resilience- the singer resolves not to be dragged down by their sadness, even if they are alone in their struggle. In the second verse, the fading sun and sound of sirens create a melancholic atmosphere- but the real kicker is when the singer hears a song that reminds them of better times, when they were happy with this person- whose absence or inability to 'help them out' might be the root of their sorrow.
It's clear that the song Someone is about heartbreak and trying to move on despite the pain, and accepting that some things just can't be salvaged. Even though the singer has tried to 'do without' the things they talked about with their loved one, it's not enough to make the pain go away. The song drips with emotion, its simple yet poignant lyrics and melody creating a memorable and relatable track for anyone who's experienced heartbreak.
