Do It

The song 'Do It' by The Sunday Drivers delves into the complexities of a relationship where one partner feels emotionally neglected. The lyrics express a longing for reciprocation and understanding, urging the other person to 'shine your light.' This metaphor suggests that the speaker desires their partner to share their inner warmth, positivity, and emotional presence, which seems to be missing in the relationship.

The repeated phrase 'put yourself in my place' is a plea for empathy. The speaker wants their partner to understand their feelings and perspective, highlighting a sense of emotional imbalance. The lines 'Never heard 'I'm doing fine,' you get depressed or you are on cloud nine' indicate that the partner's emotional state is either extremely high or low, with no middle ground, making it difficult for the speaker to connect with them. This emotional volatility adds to the strain in the relationship.

The song also touches on the theme of unconditional love. The speaker admits, 'If I didn't love you as much as I do, I don't know what I would do 'cause I've never not loved you.' This line underscores the depth of their feelings and the pain of not receiving the same level of emotional investment in return. The Sunday Drivers use a blend of melancholic and hopeful tones to convey the complexities of love, empathy, and the desire for mutual emotional support.
