Weekend
Smith Westerns Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You weren't around to stop the tantrum
Na-na-na-na-na, a girl like you
Do you think, is it normal
To go through life oh so formal
Na-na-na-na-na, a girl like you
Weekends are never fun, unless you're around too (too)
Weekends are never fun, unless you're around too (too)
Had all the stars aligned
Had all the dreams on my side
Na-na-na-na-na, a girl like you
Took a fall, so I felt down
Never want to see (?)
Na-na-na-na-na, a girl like you
Weekends are never fun, unless you're around too (too)
Weekends are never fun, unless you're around too (too)
Too...
The lyrics of Smith Westerns's song "Weekend" poetically capture the feelings of longing, loneliness and the yearning for love in a relationship. The opening line "I had tears that never ended" expresses the depth of pain and despair felt by the singer. The following line "You weren't around to stop the tantrum" could be interpreted as the singer's partner being absent or unresponsive during moments of emotional turmoil. The phrase "a girl like you" that repeats throughout the song implies a sense of admiration and desire for a specific girl who is absent.
The second verse of the song raises the question of conformity in life, with the line "Do you think, is it normal, to go through life oh so formal." The lyrics explore the tension between societal expectations and individuality, questioning the merits of living a "formal" life without taking risks or pursuing passions. The recurring "na-na-na-na-na" in this verse could be interpreted as a symbol of uncertainty or hesitation.
The chorus of the song repeats the line "Weekends are never fun, unless you're around too," emphasizing the importance of the singer's love interest in his life. The verses also capture moments of hope and despair, with the line "Had all the dreams on my side" followed by "Took a fall, so I felt down." The lyrics reveal a complex range of emotions, with the singer expressing both vulnerability and determination.
