A woman's place is in the kitchen-this is where she's at "home"-cooking meals and clenaing. "Sunny came home/to her favorite room/Sunny sat down/in the kitchen." Sunny's favorite room is the kitchen, or at least it's supposed to be. There are a lot of symbols and figurative language in the song. The whole song is one giant metaphor in that sense, and all because the actions Sunny do represent something symbolic. Sunny is a woman who represents sexism-the good and the bad. The song is about sexism, and women's place in society. However, I can sue you if you use this analysis and say it's your exact interpretation. By the way, this is my own interpretation, and it's not official or anything, so you can't sue me if Shawn Colvin says that's not what the song is about.
However, I never fully thought about the idea until I wrote this analysis. But when I really thoguht about the words, and started writing, I got a totally different idea, which had vaguely been in the back of my mind every time I listened to the song. I think many people think it's about a crazy pyromaniac. "Sunny Came Home" could be interpreted in many different ways. Anyway, enough blabbering, if you like the song, you probably skipped this introduction, anyway. I actually think it's about both, on two different levels, and sort of combined. Generally it's regarded as being about insane pyromaniacs (actually I kinda like that idea, heh, heh!), but it made me think of sexism and discrimination. I got a very different idea from Shawn Colvin's hit than I think most people did. I highly reccomend reading the analysis to anyone who likes this song. That dude sucks.Keeping to my promise, I wrote my ananlysis of the song soon after I put up the lyrics. No one wants to be known as the guy who says music died in 1976. Point is, the moment people cut themselves off is the moment they stop growing. For reference, Zero 7 was the group that gave Sia her start, years before she struck out as a solo artist. Even though you would find their albums in the EDM section at the record store (remember those?) it has more in common with rock fusion, jazz, and funk then anything. And during those early years, most of the people around me hated it. Liked it long before it became mainstream with Deadmau5, Daft Punk, etc. For example, I’ve been obsessed with electronic music for decades. Whether you have a preference for traditional sounds or something new, there’s always something being put out there. There has never been a year where someone hasn’t created something of value. But we are also so creative, expressive, and driven to discover new domains. We do a lot of really selfish, horrible things. I have a mixed relationship with humanity.
No need to try anything new or different”. Like can you imagine if the impressionist of Europe went “well there best paintings have already been done. Imagine cutting yourself off of all that amazing music. It’s a common trope to say “such and such was when music was REAL”. Or perhaps she really is crazy and guilty of the past crime (whether she is actually consciously aware of it or not) and is now back to take out the town people who got her sent away and locked up. Perhaps it was an arson that killed her family when she was young and now she has come back as an adult to sit in their burnt-out kitchen plotting her revenge. Perhaps they got her institutionalised by pinning a fatal arson on her and now she's returned to ruin/kill them via the same method of arson they had accused her of. Strike a match, light the sky, world is burning down, dry is good wind is better etc.).
time for a few small repairs, came home with a mission etc.) by burning them all down, probably in their homes (ie. She is going to fix it all, as in she's going to right the past wrongs done to her (ie. She has their names and will not rise above her bitterness and need for vengeance (ie. Ophelia Maples 1y Ssuna I've always interpreted the song as Sunny came home to her hometown to take revenge on all the people who did her wrong and got her sent away (maybe to an asylum, hence her unsound mental state).
