The Sun
Sunday Morning Reflections: Embracing Shadows and Self-Discovery
Lyrics
The sun hangs over Sunday
The sun is present on Sunday.
And I'm tangled in sheets
The speaker is entangled in sheets, possibly metaphorical for inner turmoil or emotional confusion.
It creeps between my eyelids
The sunlight penetrates the speaker's closed eyelids.
Seems the blinds sprung a leak
The sunlight is seeping through the blinds, disrupting the speaker's peace.
Pills crushed in wine are a headache sometimes
Pills mixed with wine cause headaches, but the impact is delayed until the emotions have faded.
But not 'til the feelings worn off
The negative effects of the pills are not felt until the emotions have subsided.
Still the sun hangs over Sunday
The sun continues to be present on Sunday, and the speaker remains in bed.
And I'm not getting up
The speaker has no intention of getting out of bed.
There's nothing like a beautiful morning
A beautiful morning is described, possibly in contrast to the speaker's internal struggles.
No there's nothing like a beautiful day
Emphasizing the beauty of the day.
No there's nothing like a beautiful morning
Reiteration of the beauty of the morning but followed by self-loathing.
To make me hate the way I hate myself today
The morning intensifies the speaker's self-hatred.
The sun hangs over Sunday
The sun is still present on Sunday.
I pull the blankets over my head
The speaker covers their head with blankets, possibly avoiding reality or escaping from problems.
And it creeps between the stitches
The sunlight infiltrates through the stitches of the blankets.
I melt like wax in my bed
The speaker feels vulnerable and melts like wax in their bed.
There was someone here last night
Someone was present last night before the speaker fell asleep.
Before I closed my eyes
Reference to a past encounter before the speaker slept.
She's just a scent on the sheets
The person's presence is now only a lingering scent on the sheets.
Still the sun hangs over Sunday
The sun remains, and the speaker decides to go back to sleep.
And I'm gettin' the fuck back to sleep
The speaker expresses the desire to return to sleep despite the sun.
The sun hangs over Sunday
Reiteration of the sun's presence on Sunday.
And I'm hung over as well
The speaker is hungover both from the sun and other substances.
The sun hangs over Sunday
Reiteration of the sun hanging over Sunday.
And I'm hung over as hell
Intensification of the speaker's hangover condition.
