The uniqueness of Fury Weekend should come as no surprise given the artist’s background, which involves ambitious projects ranging from industrial to post-rock. Diversant: 13, Cold in May, Martian Love, Seanine, and Tribal A.D. are some of the many names that fill Ars’ creative resume, and each of those has given the creator the experience and tools needed to make an impact with his retrofuturistic synthwave project.
In late 2018, Fury Weekend signed a multi-album deal with FiXT Neon, re-releasing his first three EPs and full-length album while preparing for a second full-length, Escape From Neon City (Deluxe Edition). 2019 marked a breakout year for Fury Weekend as new singles like "Thousand Lights" featuring Megan McDuffee and the Scandroid collaboration on "Euphoria" were immediate hits, propelling Fury Weekend to over 150,000 monthly listeners on Spotify. Escape from Neon City marks the latest milestone in Fury Weekend's rapidly ascending career.
In 2020, Fury Weekend continued releasing regular singles building to over 200,000 monthly Spotify listeners and released his full-length album, Signals in early 2021.
Illumination
Fury Weekend Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Now the silence speaks so loud
You see
Under my feet no ground
A northern light nowhere around
Foresee
And I may need
To explain
Why I’m the only one
And I am not the same
That’s why I need to chase the stars
Under the rain
Of Broken satellites and just to say again
Don’t blame me drifting in the space
Between the darkness and disgrace
It’s my way and my illumination
Don’t blame me for being myself
I know that it will never end
Some day, won’t need explanation
While the memories fading
Underneath the dying sun
You see
Now I won’t stop pretending
Seems I’m always on the run
Forsee
That’s why I need to chase the stars
Under the rain
Of Broken satellites and just to say again
Don’t blame me drifting in the space
Between the darkness and disgrace
It’s my way and my illumination
Don’t blame me for being myself
I know that it will never end
Some day, won’t need explanation
The lyrics of Fury Weekend's song, "Illumination," seem to describe the feeling of being different, and possibly alone in one's thoughts and emotions. The call to "all the stations" may be a plea for connection, but the "silence" that speaks so loud suggests that this connection is lacking. The singer describes feeling disconnected from the world, with "no ground" beneath their feet, and no "northern light" to guide them.
Despite feeling isolated, the singer acknowledges their need to search for a reason for their uniqueness, and to explore the mysteries of the universe represented by "chasing the stars." The image of "Broken satellites" in the rain suggests that this exploration may not be easy or safe, but the singer is determined to pursue it. The chorus implores the listener not to judge the singer for their unconventional path, and to accept that self-expression and self-discovery are important parts of the journey.
The bridge of the song takes on a more melancholy tone, as the singer remembers the fading memories of a dying sun. However, instead of giving up, the singer seems to redouble their efforts to pursue their own path. The final lines of the song suggest that while an explanation may not be necessary for the singer's unique journey, it will eventually lead to a sense of peace and acceptance.
Line by Line Meaning
Calling all the stations
Asking for help from any available source
Now the silence speaks so loud
The absence of sound is communicating a message
You see
As if to confirm what was just said
Under my feet no ground
Feeling lost or unsteady, like there is no foundation
A northern light nowhere around
Feeling isolated or far away from any sense of guidance
Foresee
Anticipating that something will happen or be needed in the future
And I may need
Contemplating the possibility of requiring something
To find the reason
Looking for an explanation or purpose
To explain
Clarifying to oneself or others
Why I’m the only one
Feeling alone or different from those around you
And I am not the same
Not identifying with the norms or expectations of society
That’s why I need to chase the stars
By seeking something greater, finding inner purpose or direction
Under the rain
Despite challenges and adversity
Of Broken satellites and just to say again
Surrounded by failures and mistakes, but persevering
Don’t blame me drifting in the space
Resisting guilt or fault for feeling lost or directionless
Between the darkness and disgrace
Navigating difficult emotions or experiences
It’s my way and my illumination
Asserting individuality and personal values
Don’t blame me for being myself
Refusing to apologize for expressing one's true self
I know that it will never end
Believing that this sense of self-identity is perpetual
Some day, won’t need explanation
Hopeful that eventually, one's true self will be fully accepted and understood
While the memories fading
As time passes and experiences change
Underneath the dying sun
As one phase of life comes to a close, and a new one begins
You see
As if to share this realization with others
Now I won’t stop pretending
Refusing to hide or act as though everything is okay
Seems I’m always on the run
Feeling like you can never quite keep up or catch a break

Honestly The Anix and Fury Weekend are a god-tier team up. I loved Fury's remix of black space. It was so beautifully otherworldly. And this has an extremely similar vibe. LOVE THIS

The best collab I’ve ever listened to here. As a huge fan of both The Anix and Fury Weekend I’ve listened all their collabs and this track is the true masterpiece. Lyrics really touches my soul and music completely fits it, giving you that immersive feeling of being lost in “space” and looking for your own illumination.
