The band is now broken up.
Weekend
Another Joe Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You can find anything you need right here
I'll turn around that fatal sound
Ear piercing voices from far & near that I found
Please blind the sight as dark as night
Cross-eyed burnt out looking for a reason
To carry on or act strong
It wasn't me it was you that did something wrong
Now I'm gone for the weekend
No one speaks for the freaks &
I lose my mind just to see &
I guess I'll just leave defeated
The lyrics to "Weekend" by Another Joe's are riddled with themes of disillusionment, loneliness, and the feeling of being trapped in a never-ending cycle of disappointment. The opening line, "Sit down a while hang out a while", is an invitation to the listener to take a moment and join the singer in his world. He promises that everything you need is right here, but as the song progresses, it becomes clear that what he has to offer is far from fulfilling. The fatal sound he wants to turn around is the sound of the world outside - the noise of ear-piercing voices from far and near that threaten to overwhelm him.
As the singer continues, he implores for someone to "blind the sight as dark as night". He feels completely burnt out and is looking for a reason to carry on or act strong. He refuses to accept responsibility for his own feelings of failure, blaming others for his shortcomings. He ends the verse by declaring that it wasn't him who did anything wrong, but rather, it was the world that has let him down.
The chorus brings a moment of clarity as the singer declares that he is leaving for the weekend. He feels that no one speaks for the "freaks" like him, and he is tired of losing his mind just to see. He concludes that he must leave defeated - the cycle of disappointment continues.

Amy, you are a very impressive candidate. Thank you.

I just realised... Almost anywhere in the world you will need some sort of experience for most jobs.
And for the arguably most important single job in the world, none is required. None whatsoever.
Mind-boggling.

I would love to see a Biden/Harris ticket!!!

The best thing Amy has going for her is her heartland (fly over territory) roots. That alone will pull many of the Obama/Trump voters back from the abyss and into a real 21st Century World.

Walking backwards into the future you trip a lot.

Load it up and friendly fire yourselves to a loss. Nice! Some people talk because they have something to say and some people talk because they have to say something. The pomposity, arrogance and ignorance is breathtaking!

Democrats in 2020 are like Republicans in 2016 when they had a million candidates. It better to ask who isn't running at this point.
