There are hints in “Every Morning’s” introduction that the song may veer into, shall we say, what some of us could consider a shady area. In the song’s opening at this YouTube channel, the singer describes finding a cond*m on his “girlfriend’s… bed,” implying that it is used. He has no idea if the pregnancy results from their sexual activity or if the girl has been having an affair.

Meaning of the Song Title

The title tune from Sugar Ray’s third studio album, 14:59, Each Morning, combines elements of alternative rock and flamenco pop. Lyrically, “Every Morning” describes a tangled love story in which two people get caught up in an endless cycle of betrayal, retaliation, and eventual reconciliation. There are many hints in the song that the female protagonist is cheating on her boyfriend. When something happens “every morning,” it occurs so regularly that it’s impossible to keep track of. Slowly but surely, the trust and affection they once shared are eroding, yet they still can’t seem to let go of one another in some perverse manner. Let’s explore the context of Every Morning’s lyrics.

Song Lyrics Meaning

Extending the notion of thrift to new heights, it is clear from the singer’s own words in a radio interview that he picks up the “halo” intending to deploy it in a future sexual experience. You may also want to lock the kids up because of what’s about to happen. It’s because things only get crazier from here on out, even though “Every Morning” does rely noticeably on analogies and a shortage of straightforwardness in its lyrics.

Since McGrath has come clean about the meaning of the pe-g-ng references in the song’s opening verse and closing chorus, the song can now be fully appreciated. Put another way, and he enjoys getting kicked in the rear.

However, the next stanzas are a repetition of the introduction. However, the first verse is used again in the third stanza, but the second verse ends differently. And in that instance, the vocalist appears more relatable since he worries about his girlfriend’s possible infidelity and the depth of her love for him. On the other hand, the article’s central argument—that Mark delights forward to spending every morning with his sweetheart—seems to rest on the premise that he enjoys getting pegged.

The third stanza is a complete repeat of the first, proving that “Every Morning” remains the same narrative despite everything. But even though she continues to cheat on him nightly, throwing condoms and lying about it, he continues to pursue her. Emma Kelly’s article notes that “Every Morning” is probably about both things.

Conclusion

Among Sugar Ray’s greatest successful singles, “Every Morning” peaked at number 10 on the UK Singles Charts and the top of other Billboard charts. Everyone of Sugar Ray, including producer David Kahne, contributed to the song’s composition. Hugh Masekela’s “Grazing and Malo’s “Suavecito” in the Grass” were both sampled for the music. Yet the interpretation of Every Morning’s lyrics has been met with various reactions from fans. There’s even a fan theory that the guy who cheats on his girlfriend is the good guy in this scenario since he later feels sorry about it. It’s still among their most-played tracks on streaming services.

Lyrics

Every morning there’s a halo hangin’ from the corner
Of my girlfriend’s four-post bed
I know it’s not mine but I’ll see if I can use it
For the weekend or a one-night stand

Couldn’t understand
How to work it out
Once again as predicted, left my broken heart open
And you ripped it out

Something’s got me reelin’
Stopped me from believin’
Turn me around again
Said that we can do it
You know I wanna do it again

Oh
(Every morning) oh
(Every morning when I wake up)
(Shut the door, baby, don’t say a word)
Oh (she always rights the wrong)
Oh (she always rights, she always rights)
(Shut the door, baby, shut the door, baby)

Every morning there’s a heartache hanging from the corner
Of my girlfriend’s four-post bed
I know it’s not mine and I know she thinks she loves me
But I never can believe what she said

Something so deceivin’
When you stop believin’
Turn me around again
Said we couldn’t do it
You know I wanna do it again

Oh
(Every morning) oh
(Every morning when I wake up)
(Shut the door, baby, don’t say a word)
Oh
(Every morning) oh
(Every morning when I wake up)
(Shut the door, baby, shut the door, baby)

She always rights the wrong
For me, baby
She always rights the wrong
For me

Every morning there’s a halo hangin’ from the corner
Of my girlfriend’s four-post bed
I know it’s not mine but I’ll see if I can use it
For the weekend or a one-night stand
(Shut the door, baby, don’t say a word)

Every morning
Every morning when I wake up
(Shut the door, baby, shut the door, baby)
Every morning
Every morning (turn me around again)
(Shut the door, baby, don’t say a word)
Every morning
(Do it again)
Every morning when I wake up
Every morning
(Shut the door, baby, shut the door)
Every morning when I wake up
