Weekender
Cassia Lyrics

In the back room
Starting off the song, the singer is situated in a place away from the rest, and possibly filled with tension

Staring at my shoes again
Rather than at peace, the singer seems rather occupied with her troubles as she gazes blankly at her footwear

Why do you go out at the weekend
Perhaps questioning someone's choice, the singer tentatively queries why the person they are addressing leaves the house on weekends

Go out at the weekend
Repeating the earlier line, the artist emphasizes on the fact that it's difficult to understand why her subject goes outside on weekends

And I believed you
Having put her faith in someone, the artist accepted what they told her without question

When you said we're more than friends
Further detail on what the aforementioned person said to the singer. They claimed to have a relationship that was more than friendship

A joke, well I was dead to you
The singer realized that the person who made her believe their relationship was more, actually thought it was a joke and nothing serious

Ruining my weekend
Assuming the person to be a significant other, the artist was left disappointed and saddened by their antics

You shouldn't of course
The artist starts off with a rebuke, asserting that the person wasn't supposed to do something

Promised that you would remember
The person had made a promise to the artist, which the latter expected to be remembered

When intentions are for others
Explaining why the promise wasn't kept, the singer believes that the person who made the promise had other intentions, possibly not for her

It's not, got me lost in the waters now turned cold
The artist is lost in her feelings of rejection and betrayal, which she describes like cold water. She feels left out and without hope

Oh let's get back to
The singer takes a turn, repeating the earlier line regarding her shoes and thoughts, as if she wants to return to her thoughts

Staring at my shoes again
Repeating the same line, the singer's mind seems to be clouded with worry, hence she stares fixedly at her footwear

Why do I go out at the weekend
Instead of questioning someone else's choice, the singer turns the questions on herself, asking herself why she even goes out on weekends

Always seems to make me stressed
The artist explains that going out on weekends actually causes her distress, which could be why she's questioning herself

To a dance tune
Moving on to a new setting, the artist finds themselves where there is music playing, the assumption is that it's in a club or somewhere people go to dance

I made my way outside of death of smoke
The singer walks out of the foggy, smoke-filled room in search of clarity and answers for the questions they've been grappling with

It just might speed up this waiting
The singer seems to be waiting for something, and perhaps being in a different environment will speed it up

If I had had some common sense
The artist believes that their choices might not have led them to where they are now, had they acted with more common sense

You couldn't of course
Returning to the previous subject, the artist reminds the person that they weren't allowed to do something

Keep a promise you'd remember
The artist reminds the person who failed to keep their promise that they had said they would remember

Your intentions are for others
Repeating what was said before, the singer still holds that the person who broke the promise had intentions that weren't for her

It's not, got me lost in the waters now turned cold
The artist repeats how the broken promise made her feel betrayed and alone, with nothing but cold feelings surrounding her

Who do you run to
Asking a rhetorical question, the singer wonders who the person she is addressing goes to for comfort

You're out in a [?] instead
The person the singer is talking to is not in some comforting environment, but rather somewhere else

Did you go out at the weekend
The singer, repeating earlier lines again, asks the person they're addressing whether they went out on the weekend, insinuating that it only ever causes troubles

Did you go out at the weekend
Repeating the rhetorical question, the artist seems to suggest that the person she's addressing made a mistake by going out on the weekend

Did you go out at the weekend
Repeating it a third time, the artist firmly concludes that going out on weekends usually causes heartbreak and pain

Slurring your worst when you rang me to say
Returning to the story, the singer reveals that she received a drunken call from the person she was questioning earlier, making little sense

'I feel kind of lost but my hearts in a place right now
Quoting what the drunken person on the other end of the line said, the singer listens as they talk about feeling lost but seemingly at peace with something

And I'm okay'
Ending the call, the drunken person reassuringly says that they're okay, despite everything that has just been discussed

Oh it's all the same
The artist feels like everything is absurd and devoid of meaning

But it's okay
However, she concludes that everything will be okay

And it's okay
Repeating the statement, the singer doubles down on the idea that everything will be fine

But it's okay
Finishing with a soothing conclusion, the artist reiterates that everything will be alright, despite the doubts and the pain

Going at the weekend
Repeating earlier lines, the singer continues to question the logic behind going out on weekends

Why at the weekend
The singer even questions why weekends exist, possibly as a rhetorical device to suggest that it's pointless to dwell on them

Gone at the weekend
Rephrasing the earlier line, the singer seems to indicate that weekends only bring heartbreak

White at the weekend
Ending with a cryptic line, the exact meaning of which can be up for debate, the artist could be suggesting a certain whiteness or purity that has been lost because of the weekend
