Weekend
Flume feat. Moses Sumney Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Silly me, for thinking you would want me longer
My love, found a home under the water
Glory be, ′tis the season for a slaughter
Girls will never know what they want, there's no sorrow now
Once you love your mistake, got you sorry right now
If I had it all my way, I′d be with you right now
The lyrics of Flume feat. Moses Sumney's song "Weekend" are about a love that was fleeting and short-lived. The singer compares their love to a weekend on the water, emphasizing its brevity. They express regret for thinking that the other person would want to be with them longer, and that they themselves had fallen in love too deeply. The line "My love, found a home under the water" is likely a reference to the phrase "to sleep with the fishes," suggesting a tragic end for their love. The final line "Glory be, 'tis the season for a slaughter" reinforces this idea of a tragic ending, perhaps referencing the end of summer and the forthcoming of autumn and winter.
The second verse of the song has a different tone, discussing the singer's current state of mind following the end of the relationship. They express frustration that girls never know what they want, highlighting a sense of bitterness towards their past partner. The line "Once you love your mistake, got you sorry right now" suggests a feeling of regret for having been with this person in the first place. Despite this, the singer still longs for the other person, wishing they could be together again.
Overall, the song's lyrics capture the feeling of a love that was fleeting, intense, and ultimately tragic. The imagery of a weekend on the water is a powerful metaphor for this brief relationship, and the shift in tone between the two verses highlights the singer's complicated feelings towards their past partner.

The most underrated flume song
@leoklide9423
True, this song is really out of this world. Not many songs can get me emotional but this for sure is one of them. The ending part is one of the most beatiful things i've ever heard

@FUTrading
i think people that are 'ahead of their time' are the one's that create the future.. it's not that they think ahead of everyone else, they just think differently & everyone follows suit. actual artists
@rickyrickles
so I agree with you, 100%! it's honestly great to see that one artist can change the whole interest of the music industry.
