Vrijdagavond
Frank Boeijen Groep Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ze danst zonder erbij te zijn
Zoveel om haar heen
De dansvloer is zo klein
Spot op haar gericht
Ze voelt zich zo fijn
Draaien draaien draaien
Vrijdagavond om elkaar heen
De diskjockey roept haar naam
Zo gauw hij haar ziet
Dit is haar verzoek
Dit is haar muziek
Niemand danst zo goed
Iedereen op haar verliefd
Draaien draaien draaien
Vrijdagavond om elkaar heen
Als de lichten aangaan
Vraagt iedereen ga je mee
Ga je mee met mij
Ze kan kiezen uit zoveel
Maar de spiegel bedriegt haar
Iedere vrijdagavond weer
Er is niemand op haar kamer
Ze zet een plaat op
Nog een keer
De jongens aan de kant
Zien hoe mooi ze is
Vechten om de vraag
Van wie ze is
Kijk naar haar gezicht
Een dansende godin
Draaien draaien draaien
Vrijdagavond om elkaar heen
Vrijdagavond
Dansen de godin
The lyrics to Frank Boeijen Groep's song Vrijdagavond describe a girl that dances without being present, she is absorbed in her own world. Despite the limited space on the dance floor she attracts everyone’s attention, including the DJ who plays her requested song. The guys on the sidelines fight for her attention, admiring her beauty and trying to impress her. The song is about the atmosphere of a Friday night, the excitement of being surrounded by people and music, but also the loneliness that can come with it when the party is over.
The singer seems to be observing the girl from a distance, and while he describes her beauty and grace, it is clear that he does not know her personally. She is admired by everyone, but ultimately chooses to be alone at the end of the night. The song portrays the duality of a social event where a person can feel both connected and isolated at the same time. The lyrics describe her as a "dancing goddess" which highlights her captivating presence on the dance floor, but also implies a sense of unattainability.
Overall, the song Vrijdagavond captures the emotions of a Friday night out, the joy and excitement but also the sense of longing and loneliness that can accompany it. This is a common theme in music, as many songs capture the atmosphere of a night out or the feeling of being alone, but Frank Boeijen Groep's song does so in a poetic and insightful way.

Ik heb dit leren kennen op een van de geweldige online mixtapes van Harde Smart:

zeker eens beluisteren... Vlaamse en Nederlande platen creatief verknipt en in een zalige mix gegoten waardoor het een psychedelisch soort hophop wordt... maar toch nog steeds kleinkunst. Ik ben fan. Ik heb daar mooie parels leren kennen zoals deze van "Vrijdagavond" Frank Boeijen.
