Sunday Scaries

Tor Miller's 'Sunday Scaries' delves into the anxiety and regret that often accompany the aftermath of a weekend filled with excess. The term 'Sunday Scaries' refers to the feeling of dread and anxiety that many people experience on Sunday evenings, anticipating the start of a new week. Miller captures this sentiment vividly, painting a picture of sleepless nights and self-destructive behavior.

The lyrics describe a cycle of overindulgence and regret. The protagonist finds themselves awake at 3 AM, unable to sleep due to the consequences of their actions. The mention of drinking too much and feeling physically weak highlights the toll that such behavior takes on one's body and mind. The repetition of the phrase 'I'll never drink again' underscores a sense of desperation and a desire for change, even if it feels unattainable.

Miller also touches on the broader implications of this lifestyle. The loss of a paycheck within a week, physical injuries, and strained relationships all point to a life spiraling out of control. The protagonist's dreams are slipping away, and the chance for change seems to be diminishing. Despite the repeated vows to quit drugs, parties, and even relationships, there's an underlying sense of hopelessness. The song ends on a note of resignation, with the 'Sunday Scaries' continuing to creep in, suggesting that the cycle is far from broken.

The song's raw honesty and relatable themes make it a poignant reflection on the struggles many face with addiction, regret, and the desire for self-improvement. Tor Miller's soulful delivery adds an emotional depth that resonates with listeners, making 'Sunday Scaries' a powerful anthem for anyone grappling with their own demons.
