Weekend
Demonios De Tasmania Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tengo un pase libre a la pista
Sin pelar ninguna tarjeta
Está todo bien con la puerta
Voy matando el tiempo en un flipper
Hasta que aparezca algún dealer
Glucolin cortado con merca
Para yonquis de discoteca
Anarcoma disco... estado de weekend
Con un sello de hace dos días
Tengo un pase libre a la pista
Un Dj de púas conecta
Un subsuelo con sus bandejas
Mientras la policía
Un allanamiento en la pista
Una piba en trance me encierra
En un baño de discoteca.
The Demonios De Tasmania's song "Weekend" is a party anthem describing a wild, drug-fueled night out. The opening lines speak of a stamp that grants the singer access to the dance floor without the need of showing any ID. The lyrics continue to describe the atmosphere of the club, with the singer passing time playing pinball until a drug dealer arrives with a mixture of glucose and cocaine for the "disco junkies". The chorus employs wordplay by forming a pun on the words "anarchy" and "discotheque", inferring that the club is a place where anything goes, and the attendees are free to do as they please.
The second verse describes a DJ with needles connecting underground music with the audience through his turntables. At this point, the police arrive to investigate, but the singer remains unaffected, locked in a bathroom with a girl in a trance. The lyrics of "Weekend" communicate the hedonistic lifestyle and atmosphere of a club and the debauchery that often takes place behind closed doors. In this sense, the song captures the essence of the disco era in a modern setting, where the dance floor remains a place for partygoers to let their hair down and forget their worries and responsibilities.
