Friday
I.F.A. Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Seasons that changed with the winds as you stepped outside to meet them, and let up the sails.
Leaving.
The whys I don't know, but you must have had your reasons you kept to yourself.
Always there with something new to share with me that wasn't true.
You damaged the way you'd let them see, and made yourself an enemy.
A cheap escape, flooding those chemicals into your veins won't take the world away.
With everything, I'd give everything if you found your way back home.
You don't have to stay alone.

With everything, I'd give everything if you found your way back home.
You don't have to stay alone.
Sleepless.
A home that was broke but we picked up all the pieces, and swept out what failed.
Speechless.
A heart full of hope and a love we now believe in, was hanging by nails.
So I went back to see it through, give you the truth that I now knew.
Forgetting the days we never had, to let you know I understand.
Erase the tapes.
I had to let it go, cause all that pain won't take the world away.
With everything, I'd give everything if you found your way back home.
You don't have to stay alone.
With everything, I'd give everything if you found your way back home.
You don't have to stay alone.
You break bread with the violence, and fake pledges with a silent hand.
I know you feel divided.
The chips haven't hit the place they'll land.
You break bread with the violence, and fake pledges with a silent hand.
I know you feel divided.
The chips haven't hit the place they'll land.
A cheap escape, flooding those chemicals into your veins won't take the world away.
With everything, I'd give everything if you found your way back home.
You don't have to stay alone.

With everything, I'd give everything if you found your way back home.
You don't have to stay alone.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of I.F.A.'s song Friday are rich in meaning and emotion. It appears to be a song about loss, regret, and the hope for redemption. The first stanza paints a picture of a person who is leaving without giving any reason, but the singer imagines that they must have had their own reasons for doing so. The singer also realizes that this person had been sharing things with them that were not true, which had damaged their relationship and turned them into an enemy.

The second stanza shifts to the singer's perspective, where they recount how they and their partner had picked up the pieces of a broken home and tried to move on. However, the heart full of hope and love that they had built together was hanging by nails, and the singer goes back to try and give their partner the truth they now know. This section of the lyric deals more with the dynamics of the relationship between two people who are torn apart.

The final stanza, with its repetition of the chorus, seems to address the person who left, urging them to come back home and not stay alone. The person left caused pain and sought a cheap escape from reality by flooding their veins with chemicals. However, the singer reassures them that with everything they've got, they would give up everything to have the departing person back home.

Overall, the song paints a picture of a broken relationship with one person leaving without reason and the other person trying to understand what went wrong. The singer's perspective suggests that they are willing to forgive and try to build something new, but they first need to address the pain and brokenness in their relationship.
