BEAUVOIS Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Silly me for thinking you would want me longer
My love found a home under the water
Glory be, ′tis the season for a slaughter
Ghost will never know what they want there's no sorrow now
Where′s it, our love mistake? Are you sorry right now?
If I had it all my way, I'd be with you right now
Our love was a weekend on the water
Silly me for thinking you would want me longer
My love found a home under the water
Glory be, ′tis the season for a slaughter
Ghost will never know what they want there′s no sorrow now
Where's it, our love mistake? Are you sorry right now?
If I had it all my way, I′d be with you right now
Haunted by a memory, yes I'm with you right now
(Ghost will never know what they want there′s no sorrow now)
(Where's it, our love mistake? Are you sorry right now?)
(If I had it all my way, I′d be with you right now)
(Haunted by a memory, yes I'm with you right now)
The lyrics of BEAUVOIS's song "Weekend" convey a sense of fleeting love and disappointment in the aftermath of a short-lived romance. The metaphor of a weekend on the water captures the transience and romanticism of the relationship, while also implying a lack of substance and permanence. The singer expresses regret for assuming that their lover would want them for longer, and laments that their love has become submerged and lost in the depths of the water. The line "glory be, 'tis the season for a slaughter" suggests a fatalistic acceptance of the end of the romance, and perhaps a recognition that love can be both beautiful and painful.
The repetition of the chorus and the interjection of the lines "ghosts will never know what they want" and "where's it, our love mistake?" convey a sense of confusion and uncertainty about the relationship, and perhaps a feeling of being haunted by unresolved emotions. The final line "haunted by a memory, yes I'm with you right now" suggests that even though the relationship is over, the singer is still emotionally connected to their former lover.
Overall, the lyrics of "Weekend" capture the bittersweet nature of young love, and the pain of losing something that was only meant to be temporary.
