The Sundays' song "On Earth" is rich with imagery and introspective musings. It seems to explore themes of longing, disillusionment, and the search for meaning in everyday life.

The opening lines depict a sense of danger or precariousness, with the protagonist "walking on the edge of a knife" and being aware of the potential consequences ("knows it's the death of her"). This could symbolize living on the edge or being in a precarious situation where any misstep could have serious consequences.

The lyrics "Sarah you live & you learn you're invisible" suggest a feeling of being unnoticed or overlooked despite living and learning from life's experiences. This could reflect a sense of insignificance or feeling lost in the crowd.

The reference to "Late at night you can never tell / Town from town" might evoke a sense of disorientation or feeling disconnected from one's surroundings, especially in the anonymity of nighttime.

The recurring motif of "Sounds of England swallow you down" could symbolize being engulfed or overwhelmed by the cultural or societal expectations of one's surroundings. It might suggest a feeling of being stifled or constrained by external forces.

The chorus introduces the idea of a "heaven on earth," posing the question of whether such a state of bliss or contentment is achievable in the present moment ("Could a heaven on earth be ours here & now?"). This could reflect a longing for fulfillment or happiness in the midst of life's challenges and uncertainties.

The protagonist seeks something tangible to hold onto ("Give me something to savour"), perhaps indicating a desire for meaning or purpose amidst the chaos of life. The plea to "read between the lines" suggests a desire for deeper understanding or insight into one's circumstances.

Overall, "On Earth" appears to be a contemplative exploration of the complexities of existence, blending introspective lyrics with dreamy melodies to create a poignant reflection on life's joys and struggles.
