Sunday Morning

The speaker looks back on a relationship in which she once felt weak and dependent, then describes a sudden change in the other person. The shift leaves her surprised and unsure whether she ever truly understood them. By the end, she sounds more self-assured: she sees the relationship differently and says the other person wants her now that she is unavailable.

“Trying my shoes on” suggests that the other person is taking on the speaker’s former role or experiencing what she once felt. The “other side of the mirror” presents their changed positions as a reflection, but one that makes things harder to see clearly. Calling the person a “parasite” implies that the speaker now sees them as draining or taking advantage of her.

The lyrics leave some details open: the other person’s exact change, and what caused it, are not explained. “Sunday morning” may simply mark when the person appeared, while its repeated use gives the encounter a memorable, almost casual feel. The speaker’s claim that she has a “new view” suggests growth, though the hurt and disbelief in her repeated words show that she has not become completely detached.
