en.Code Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Is trying hard to learn their song
They serenade the weekend squire
Who just came out to mow his lawn
Another pleasant valley Sunday
Charcoal burning everywhere
Rows of houses that are all the same
And no one seems to care
See Mrs. Gray, she's proud today
Because her roses are in bloom
And Mr. Green, he's so serene
He's got a TV in every room
Another pleasant valley Sunday
Here in Status Symbol Land
Mothers complain about how hard life is
And the kids just don't understand
Creature comfort goals, they only numb my soul
And make it hard for me to see
Ah, thoughts all seem to stray to places far away
I need a change of scenery
Ta ta ta ta, ta ta ta ta
Ta ta ta ta, ta ta ta ta
Another pleasant valley Sunday
Charcoal burning everywhere
Another pleasant valley Sunday
Here in Status Symbol Land
Another pleasant valley Sunday
(A pleasant valley Sunday)
Another pleasant valley Sunday
(A pleasant valley Sunday)
The lyrics to En.Code's song Sunday juxtapose the mundane and materialistic aspects of suburban life with the need for a greater purpose and a change of scenery. The local rock group, represented by the "weekend squire" who is mowing his lawn, serves as a symbol for the longing for artistic expression and individuality that often goes unfulfilled in mainstream society. The rows of identical homes and the mothers and children complaining about their perceived difficulties are emblematic of the lack of originality and passion in modern suburbs. The references to Mrs. Gray's roses in bloom and Mr. Green's multiple televisions suggest the superficiality and emptiness of material possessions and creature comforts. The repetition of "Another pleasant valley Sunday" highlights the monotony and unfulfilling nature of these suburban routines. The chorus with its references to the "change of scenery" and the desire to break free from the status quo serves as a call to action for the listener to find their own path and meaning outside of societal expectations.

The local rock group down the street
A band in the neighborhood is practicing hard to get their act together
Is trying hard to learn their song
They are putting in a lot of effort to perfect their music
They serenade the weekend squire
The band is playing for a wealthy person who is mowing the lawn
Who just came out to mow his lawn
The squire is doing some mundane work outside
Another pleasant valley Sunday
Just another unremarkable day in the suburbs
Charcoal burning everywhere
The repetitive nature of suburban life with everyone doing the same thing
Rows of houses that are all the same
The lack of individuality in suburban housing
And no one seems to care
No one is questioning the monotony of their existence
See Mrs. Gray, she's proud today
A woman is satisfied with the growth of her roses
Because her roses are in bloom
The woman's flowers are showing signs of life and beauty
And Mr. Green, he's so serene
Another man is content and at peace with his life
He's got a TV in every room
The man has easily attained his creature comforts
Here in Status Symbol Land
The suburbs represent material wealth and conformity
Mothers complain about how hard life is
People still find plenty to complain about despite their comfortable lifestyles
And the kids just don't understand
The younger generation is not fully aware of the consequences of such a life
Creature comfort goals, they only numb my soul
The pursuit of material possessions is unhealthy and brings no satisfaction
And make it hard for me to see
It is easy to lose sight of what is truly important amidst a life of comfort
Ah, thoughts all seem to stray to places far away
The mind often wanders to escape the mundane reality of suburban life
I need a change of scenery
The singer is longing for something different and exciting to break up the monotony
Ta ta ta ta, ta ta ta ta
A musical interlude
Another pleasant valley Sunday
Repeating the idea of suburban Sundays being unremarkable
(A pleasant valley Sunday)
The artist is mocking the idea of such a day being truly 'pleasant'
