She closes her eyes and flies out of her mind, she is walking on a wire.she doesn't know why. She will make repairs of her life.ĭays go by and she is hypnotized.she is being lied to.probably told by whoever is lying that she is the one that is "crazy" for her well founded suspicions. She had the facts and sat down one final time in her favorite place before she acted. she came home with a list of names, she came home with a vengeance. She sat down in the kitchen, opened her book (of matches) and box of tools.she was on a mission. Lara from Boston, MaSunny came home to her favorite room.she finally embraced the truth.Jess from Milton, NhThis song is about a nonfiction story, but I heard it was a story in the news about a woman who was picked on all her life, so she came back to her home town with a list of names and a plan to burn down their houses.This song helped me to deal with my own childhood. Colvin never said any of this, but is seems a plain as day to me, from the first time I heard it. There are probably other kids in the house, and she came home to confront her parents, and get the other kids to safety. Being out of her mind relates to PTSD and the ability of some abuse victims to leave their bodies during the abuse. She may have even had enough rage to dare her parents to deny it "strike a match, go on and do it". She is trying to destroy the illusion her parents had that everything was fine. For me, it is about Sunny (Sunny is a child's name, after all) coming home (as an adult) to her parent's house to face her father, who sexually abused her, and her mother, who knew all along and didn't stop it. Bill from Somewhere, MdI think the song means what you want it to mean.She said she wrote the song after watching the movie, "Reversal of Fortune." So, the statement that the song was written after the album art is incorrect. Kathy from Seattle, WaI saw Shawn Colvin and Mary Chapin Carpenter in concert 2 days ago and Shawn said this song was about Sunny von Bulow, if she had awakened from her coma.Both songs are about an abused wife setting fire to her house. Staley from Dallas, TxI've always associated Sunny Came Home with Independence Day by Martina McBride.She wants to find or make a gun or other weapon and maim or seriously injury or kill her enemies and people she opinions to be her abusers. It doesn't seem to be about self-effacement in any way or coping legitimately with stress or peer pressure or any abuse. It seems she seeks revenge or brutal retribution instead of suicide or self destruction.
