The Weekend
Interpol Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Stop reaching in, I see you friend
All in good time we'll speak
Yeah, stop reaching in
Say goodbye, Lorena, to the beach
Heaven knows the week was bombing
By the weekend you were here
And the future looked like nowhere I've seen
That really happened
We believe it
It's really magic
Days roll by non-discreet
The ebb and flow just reflects the infinite symmetry
You will come out for real celebration
You stand in vision, I'll sail away again
That really happened
We believe it
It's really magic this time
Feeling even
It's really happening now
Let the weekend spin right to the edge
Please say this whole adventure is dialing in
Deep state, it's all self interest, leave it there
Breezing, breezing, reaching in
Evident
Feeling even
That really happened
We believe it
It's really magic now
We can see them
It really happened this time
Let the weekend spin right to the end
The lyrics to Interpol's "The Weekend" are enigmatic and evoke a sense of ambiguity throughout the whole song. The opening lines "Stop reaching in, I'll meet you there" imply that the singer is being pried upon and wants to maintain some distance. The repetition of "That really happened / We believe it / It's really magic" further reinforces this enigmatic tone; what really happened, and what is magic? Is the singer referring to their relationship with someone, or is it something else altogether?
As the song progresses, the lyrics become more and more esoteric, with phrases like "Days roll by non-discreet / The ebb and flow just reflects the infinite symmetry" giving the impression of an abstract journey. The introduction of "Lorena" adds to the sense of wanderlust and fleeting romantic feelings, as the "week was bombing" and "the future looked like nowhere I've seen."
Overall, the song paints a picture of a weekend away from the real world filled with unique experiences and the sense of feeling that anything could happen. While the lyrics may not provide a clear, straightforward narrative, they evoke a sense of longing for adventure and the unexplainable magic that comes with it.

[Verse 1]
Stop reaching in, I’ll meet you there
Stop reaching in, I see you friend
All in good time we’ll speak
Yeah, top reaching in
Say goodbye Lorena to the beach
Heaven knows the week was bombing
By the weekend you were here
Asleep in my arms
[Chorus]
And the future looked like nowhere I’ve seen
That really happened
We believe it
It’s really magic
[Verse 2]
Days roll by non-discreet
The ebb and flow just reflects the infinite symmetry
You will come out for real celebration
In rhythm surrounded by foreign
You stand in vision I’ll sail away again
[Chorus]

We believe it
It’s really magic this time
Feeling even
It’s really happening now
Let the weekend spin right to the edge
