Lost Weekend
Husbands Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You never wanna see again
And I'll bet It starts with me
If it sounds too easy
Or underwhelming
That's alright with me, no shame
you don't have to get' everything
Smothered in flowers
Suddenly, so much to say now
We could go on for hours
Lost weekend music
Like sugar in your lemonade
Sure enough, there goes another top tenner we forgot to save
If there's a way to get your soul back, I'd get on it
Set the mains for your new home before they bomb it
You can draw your line in the sand next to mine, hope the cancer's benign
And get on with your life
There's a party on the opposite side
Invitation declined or were you just denied?
I don't think that I can leave you alone now
I don't think that I can leave you alone
Mystique wearing off progressively with every moment of genuine interaction
Set ablaze any photographic evidence that good times were had in your absence
If there's a way to get your soul back, I'd get on it
Set the mains for your new home before they bomb it
You can draw your line in the sand next to mine, hope the cancer's benign
And get on with your life
There's a party on the opposite side, invitation declined
Or were you just denied?
I don't think that I could leave you alone now
The lyrics of "Lost Weekend" by Husbands capture a sense of reflection and introspection on past relationships and experiences. The singer seems to be reflecting on a tumultuous relationship, expressing a sense of regret and perhaps a desire to make amends. The mention of having a list of people one never wants to see again, with the suggestion that the singer is at the top of that list, sets a tone of self-awareness and acceptance of past mistakes. The mention of it being "too easy" or "underwhelming" implies a sense of resignation and understanding that not everything in life has to be perfect or resolved.
The imagery of "dressed up mistakes smothered in flowers" conveys a sense of covering up or disguising past errors with superficial pleasures. The mention of a "lost weekend music" and the analogy of sugar in lemonade evoke a bittersweet nostalgia for moments that have passed and can never be reclaimed. The reference to forgetting to save a "top tenner" further emphasizes the fleeting nature of time and experiences.
The repeated refrain about getting one's soul back and setting the mains for a new home before it is destroyed suggests a longing for renewal and a fresh start. The invitation to draw lines in the sand next to mine and confronting one's own struggles, such as hoping for benign cancer, portrays a sense of facing challenges head-on and moving forward despite difficulties. The mention of a party on the opposite side and the ambiguity of whether the invitation was declined or denied hints at missed opportunities or misunderstandings in relationships.
The final lines of the song, where the singer expresses uncertainty about leaving the other person alone, reveal a lingering attachment or connection that is hard to break. The fading mystique and the desire to erase memories of good times without the person's presence suggest a conflicting mix of emotions and a struggle to let go of the past. Overall, the lyrics of "Lost Weekend" convey a complex narrative of regret, nostalgia, and the intricacies of human relationships.
Line by Line Meaning
You've got a list of people
You have a mental list of people you do not want to have contact with anymore
You never wanna see again
You have made the decision to cut ties and not encounter those individuals
And I'll bet It starts with me
I believe that I am at the top of that list
If it sounds too easy
If resolving this situation appears too simple
Or underwhelming
Or lacks the impact you expected
That's alright with me, no shame
I am okay with that outcome and feel no guilt
you don't have to get' everything
You do not have to grasp every detail
Dressed up mistakes
Adorned errors
Smothered in flowers
Covered in floral decorations
Suddenly, so much to say now
There is an overwhelming amount to express
We could go on for hours
We could discuss this at length
Lost weekend music
Melancholic tunes associated with wasted time
Like sugar in your lemonade
Providing a sweet touch to a sour situation
Sure enough, there goes another top tenner we forgot to save
Another significant memory we failed to preserve
If there's a way to get your soul back, I'd get on it
I would immediately try to reclaim your lost essence
Set the mains for your new home before they bomb it
Secure the foundation of your fresh start before it is threatened
You can draw your line in the sand next to mine, hope the cancer's benign
You can establish your boundaries next to mine and I wish the worst is avoided
And get on with your life
Proceed with your existence
There's a party on the opposite side
There are festivities occurring elsewhere
Invitation declined or were you just denied?
Did you choose not to attend or were you not welcome?
I don't think that I can leave you alone now
I feel compelled to remain close to you
Mystique wearing off progressively with every moment of genuine interaction
The mysterious allure fades as we engage sincerely
Set ablaze any photographic evidence that good times were had in your absence
Destroy any pictures indicating enjoyable moments without you
I don't think that I could leave you alone now
I believe I cannot distance myself from you now
