In "Every Sunday," Yeat's explores themes of independence, self-reliance, and the contradictions of fame and success. The song begins with an acknowledgment of his experiences of luxury and excess, symbolized by the reference to Chanel. However, the lyrics suggest that the materialistic world has lost its allure, as he receives a call informing him there is nothing left for sale. This can be interpreted as a metaphor for feeling disillusioned with material possessions and seeking deeper meaning in life.
The next verse expresses a sense of isolation and mistrust towards others. Yeat's emphasizes the need to rely on oneself rather than others, possibly due to past experiences of betrayal. He compares himself to a flawless stone, swimming like Michael Phelps, symbolizing his determination and resilience. The reference to Yelp signifies the constant scrutiny and criticism he faces from others, but he chooses to ignore it and follow his own path.
The lyrics also touch on the topic of relationships, with Yeat's highlighting the costliness of his partner's tastes and implying that her desires are superficial. He rejects societal expectations and materialism, choosing to set sail and disregard material wealth as a measure of success. This rejection of conforming to societal norms is further emphasized when he criticizes someone who is seemingly envious and fake, highlighting the contrast between realness and superficiality.
Moving into the second verse, Yeat's reflects on his journey of self-discovery and experiences of wealth and success. He wears an Undercover hoodie, which still matches his Amiri jeans, symbolizing his authenticity amidst his changing circumstances. The lyrics imply that he has seen both the highs and lows of life, recognizing that riches can be fleeting and possibly dangerous.
The song concludes with a reflection on the risks and sacrifices Yeat's has made for his career. The reference to ecstasy represents his inner struggle and the toll fame has taken on him emotionally. Despite the challenges, he expresses determination to continue pushing forward, even if it means risking his life. Yeat's questions why he would ever consider quitting, suggesting that the allure of the unknown and the desire to explore new territories motivate him. However, he acknowledges the dangerous consequences of his choices, stating that they both give him chills and have the potential to bring him harm.
Overall, "Every Sunday" is a contemplative song that delves into themes of materialism, self-reliance, and the complexities of fame. It highlights the internal struggles and contradictions that accompany success while emphasizing the importance of staying true to oneself and finding authentic connections in a superficial world.
