Something For The Weekend
Dave Audé Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That's what you're, shouting at me
I could run but I'd sooner have this
And I make her bleed
Liquid blood stain from your finger
Say what do you see?
Remind you that whatever you get is
What you want it to be
You get a feeling, that's what you choose
And I was told there was not a minute to lose
So if you're waiting, jump out your skin
To find a cure for whatever state your in
I tell my good friends 'get out the way!' of all the lightning hitting the trees today
We get a thrill from clapping our hands
We find the nearest girl and ask her to dance.
Oooh, I put on my shoes and I'm ready for the weekend [Repeat x4]
Coming back coming back
To a place where, I never knew.
Pushing knobs, pushing faders,
But I, don't know what they do.
This reflection in my mirror, reminds me of you.
When I tilt it towards the sunlight, you fall out of view.
You get a feeling, that's what you choose.
And I was told there was not a minute to lose
So if you're waiting, jump out your skin
To find a cure for whatever state your in
I tell my good friends 'get out the way!' of all the lightning hitting the trees today?
We get a thrill from clapping our hands
We find the nearest girl and ask her to dance.
Oooh, I put on my shoes and I'm ready for the weekend
The lyrics of Dave Audé's song "Something For The Weekend" touch upon themes of authenticity, self-expression, and the pursuit of happiness. The opening lines, "Counterfeit, counterfeit, that's what you're shouting at me," suggest that the singer is being accused of being fake or insincere. However, instead of running away from this accusation, the singer embraces it, saying they would rather have this authenticity and make others uncomfortable. The mention of making someone bleed could symbolize the emotional impact of being true to oneself.
The lyrics continue by emphasizing the power of personal choice and the importance of seizing the moment. The line "You get a feeling, that's what you choose" suggests that our emotions and experiences are shaped by the decisions we make. The urgency of the phrase "there was not a minute to lose" encourages taking action and not waiting for the right time. The song encourages embracing life and seeking joy, as seen in the lines "We get a thrill from clapping our hands, we find the nearest girl and ask her to dance."
In the second verse, the lyrics take a more introspective turn. The mention of pushing knobs and faders could symbolize the singer's attempt to navigate and control their own life. The reflection in the mirror serves as a reminder of someone significant but also highlights their absence when tilted towards the light, suggesting a fading connection or loss.
Overall, "Something For The Weekend" encourages listeners to embrace their true selves, make choices that bring them happiness, and live in the present moment.

Lacking understanding of their functions
This reflection in my mirror, reminds me of you
My reflection triggers thoughts of you
When I tilt it towards the sunlight, you fall out of view
When I change my perspective, you disappear
