I think the symbol of Sunday refers to the relaxation aspect of the end of the weekend. It's supposed to be the "Day of rest" and consider that in comparisson to the other days of the week. Friday and Saturday are weekend days too, but Sunday is a down home, sleep in, wake up and enjoy breakfast and the newspaper sort of day, more so than any other day. More than any other day of the week people are at home and enjoying their day off for all it is worth before they go back to the work week. It truly speaks to the idea of being in love that everyday feels so comforting and nice. The song to me is the narrator, or Barnes, showing hwo bereft his life was before he found this person and how grateful he is to have found someone who can make him feel like that. I disagree that he isn't singing soulfully, especially on the key change with "I-I must destroy this artificial darkness. That's how it seems to me, to be." I think he really rocks at singing this song. I really love this song because it's one of the most purely romantic without the drawback of being so deep in the emotion of love, which as you can tell from so many other songs by Of Montreal, goes to both extremes of good and bad.
