Weekend
Burning Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Get up

Roll up your sleeves and strap on them boots
Clocking in and out it's the work week blues
Got mouths to feed and bills to pay
Its All work no play
Long days they're all the same
The fuckin boss don't even know my name
This 9-5
Gotta leave it behind
Or break your fucking back and keep your ass in line

Thin lines I'm walking all the time
Fuck these Deadlines leave em all behind

Hell yeah
All my worries are gone
With the music loud and the grills on
Hell yeah
Living for the weekend

Monday got me feeling slugged out
Tuesday and I'm already burnt out
Wednesday just the hump of the work week
Thursday Friday fuck outa my way

Work hard all week don't forget your Uncle Sam
And if your trying to catch a break say fuck the man

Hell yeah
All my worries are gone
With the music loud and the grills on
Hell yeah
Living for the weekend

Everybody needs a break sometimes
I need a break before I loose my mine
Everybody needs a bread sometimes
So gimme mine before I loose my fucking mind

Get up

Hell yeah
All my worries are gone
With the music loud and the grills on
Hell yeah





Living for the weekend

Overall Meaning

The song "Weekend" by Burning is about the monotony and struggle of working a 9-5 job and living for the weekend where you can escape the daily grind and enjoy life. The lyrics reflect the feeling of being just a number, working long hours, and being stuck in a routine. The song begins with an exhortation to get up and roll up your sleeves to face another day of work. The lyrics mention the “work week blues” and how everyone has mouths to feed and bills to pay. The singer laments that they work long days that are all the same, and the boss doesn’t even know their name.


The chorus speaks to the release of living for the weekend. The singer experiences a sense of freedom and escape when they can turn the music up and enjoy the grills. They exclaim” Hell yeah,” and all their worries are gone. However, the song adds that the grind of the daily routine can lead to feeling burnt out and feeling like you may lose your mind. The song is an ode to the weekend and how it brings freedom, but it ultimately highlights the struggles of working a job where you feel like just another cog in the wheel.


Overall, the Burning’s "Weekend" song is an anthem for anyone who works a 9-5 job and looks forward to the weekend as a time of respite and rejuvenation. It speaks to the challenges of working long hours, being stuck in a routine, and feeling like you’re not valued, but it also shows how people can break free from the grind and enjoy the good things in life with music and good food.
