Hymn For The Weekend
Coldplay [Bi-Music.Com] Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

She lives her life
Always on the wrong side
Days they seem to blend
Blend into the weekend
She goes out into the cold and lonely night
She knows that its unsafe but she's alright
She drinks like its the last night of her life
Some things never change
She's back at work
Filing some file
For some other jerk
Days they seem to blend
Blend into the weekend
She goes up and asks this guy for a ride
Well he takes her out and buys her drinks all night
She drinks like its the last night of her life
Some things never change
Its coming on back again
Well she's the one who walks along the long and lonely highway
She's the one who always wants to see it done yeah her way
I know that I know that I don't care
Well its something for the weekend
You've got something
I've got something
Everybody's got
Everybody's got something
You've got something
I've got something
Everybody's got
Everybody's got something
You've got something
I've got something
Everybody's got
Everybody's got something




You've got something
I've got something
Well its something for
Well its something for the weekend
Well its something for
Well its something for the weekend
Well its something for
Well its something for the weekend
Well its something for
Well its something for the weekend
Well its something for
Well its something for the weekend
Well its something for
Well its something for the weekend

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Coldplay's "Hymn for the Weekend" paint a picture of a woman who leads a seemingly monotonous and unfulfilling life. She is trapped in a routine, always on the wrong side of things, and the days blend into one another until the weekend arrives. During the weekend, she indulges in reckless behavior, going out into the cold and lonely night despite the potential dangers. The lyrics suggest that she drinks heavily as if it's the last night of her life, indicating a desire to escape her reality.


The song mentions her being back at work, filing paperwork for someone else who is possibly a demanding and unpleasant person. Again, the days blend together, but the mundane routine is broken when she approaches a man for a ride. He takes her out and buys her drinks all night, becoming a temporary distraction from her otherwise predictable existence.


The ending of the song suggests a realization that everyone, including herself, is seeking something. It's a recognition that she is not alone in her desire for escape or fulfillment. The repetition of "You've got something, I've got something, everybody's got something" implies a universal human longing for something more.


In summary, "Hymn for the Weekend" conveys the story of a woman stuck in a monotonous life who seeks temporary relief and adventure during the weekend. It explores themes of escapism, desire for change, and the universal search for something meaningful.
