Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Is lying right beside me
But time does stop sometimes
And back home its no use to surprise me
Its up two years ahead of me now
Well that's a lot of drinking
You say I won't be missing you,
But I do its a lot of never thinkin
If I don't black-out
I'll keep you inside me
I can't promise you anything
How long can a Saturday keep me name all the same things?
I love all things I said I love
But I forget why I'm still standing
All the time in the world
Is lying right beside me
But time does stop sometimes
So lets try lets spend it sleeping
If I don't black-out
I'll keep you inside me
I can't promise you anything
I know yeah I'm slow
I sleep the best in cold
Dreams are the place to be
The lyrics to Chris Garneau's song "Saturday" capture the feeling of being lost in time and unsure of what to do with it. The line "all the time in the world is lying right beside me" suggests that the singer has an abundance of time, but they don't know how to use it or what to do with it. The mention of being "up two years ahead" suggests that the singer is mentally stuck in the future, unable to fully enjoy the present. The line "that's a lot of drinking" could indicate that the singer is using alcohol as a way to cope with their inability to be present.
The chorus of the song is especially poignant, with the line "how long can a Saturday keep me name all the same things?" The use of the word "Saturday" emphasizes the importance of time, and the repetition of "the same things" suggests a feeling of monotony or being stuck in a routine. The singer loves the things they said they love, but they forget why they're still here. The final line "dreams are the place to be" seems to suggest that the singer is more comfortable living in their own mind than in reality.
Overall, the lyrics to "Saturday" are a meditation on time, presence, and the inability to fully enjoy life. The singer struggles with being mentally stuck in the future and unable to appreciate the present, and turns to alcohol and dreams as a way to cope.

And back home its no use to surprise me
The mundanity of everyday life restricts the potential for surprise.
Its up two years ahead of me now

Well that's a lot of drinking
Alcohol is a poor substitute for filling the emptiness of time.
You say I won't be missing you,

But I do its a lot of never thinkin

The purposelessness of time makes one question their existence.
So lets try lets spend it sleeping
Sometimes, the best way to pass the time is to simply sleep and forget.
I know yeah I'm slow

I sleep the best in cold
The comfort of sleep is the only respite from the burden of time.
Dreams are the place to be
Imagining a better life in dreams is preferable to living a meaningless reality.
