Weevil Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
(So hard to say goodbye
Meaning it today
I've said goodbye before
Leaving you alone
By the sea
So hard to say goodbye)
Come into my life (X2)
In honesty it's been a while
Since we had reason left to smile
Hello sunshine
Come into my life
I'm a minger
You're a minger too
So come on minger
I want to ming with you
In honesty it's been a while
Since we had reason left to smile
Hello sunshine
Come into my life
You're not so innocent
You're a disgrace to your country
If you fled a million miles
I'd chase you for a day
(If I could be bothered)
Hello sunshine (X5)
Come into my life
The song "Hello Sunshine" by Weevil appears to be a melancholic love song that expresses the difficulty of saying goodbye, but also the hope of new beginnings. The repetition of "So hard to say goodbye" in the beginning emphasizes the challenges of parting ways, but also hints to previous goodbyes the singer has experienced. There is a sense of longing for an escape from melancholy when the singer invites sunshine to come into their life. The line "I'm a minger, you're a minger too, so come on minger, I want to ming with you" introduces a more playful, lighthearted tone, despite the sadness present in the beginning. The word "minger" is a British slang term for an unattractive person, so one interpretation could be that the singer is trying to bond over their shared lack of conventional beauty.
The line "You're not so innocent, you're a disgrace to your country" may hint to a more complicated relationship dynamic, where the singer is acknowledging the flaws of the person they are addressing. The following line "If you fled a million miles, I'd chase you for a day" suggests that despite the flaws, the singer still holds a strong desire to be with them. The repetition of "Hello sunshine" at the end, in contrast to the beginning, feels more hopeful and inviting, signaling a possible shift in the singer's emotional state.
