Sunday
Timoria Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sunday I'm coming back
Monday is not my day
Tuesday I go away
Wednesday I meet Helene
Wednesday I wait my man
Thursday I wash my car
Thursday here come the sun
To be with you!
The lyrics of Timoria's song Sunday convey the feeling of the singer's disconnection with the week's routine. The song talks about struggling against a routine that doesn't fit his taste. He feels relieved on Sundays, as it represents freedom from the hassle of daily rituals. He feels the urge to escape from the usual cycle and coming back refreshed in a way he wishes he could enjoy more often. He doesn't like Mondays and seems to be absent on Tuesdays; the singer is either avoiding work or may be opting for activities where he feels more alive. He meets someone called Helene on Wednesdays, and eagerly waits for this person who is perhaps lifting his spirit. Thursdays are less stressful, with the arrival of the sun, and he can carry out mundane activities, such as washing his car. However, the chorus reveals that Fridays and Saturdays are the only days he can spend together with someone dear to him, and he seems very happy about it.
The song's message is relatable to many people who struggle with a mundane lifestyle that doesn't fulfil their potential. The singer wants to escape the ordinary days of his routine to do things he enjoys, but he acknowledges that he cherishes the moments shared with his loved one during the weekend. The lyrics show a balance between escapism and responsibility, and the singer finds solace in both. The song represents a plea to live life freely without being tied down by boring daily obligations.
