A-Million
MAX Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Friday, Friday is a good time to shine
Night sea journey's, journey's to unwind
Losin' all survival signs
Rerun movies takin' all your time

And a million vacations is what you've got in mind

Throwing out all kinds of fishing line
Friday, Friday is a good time to shine
Rant and rave leave this town behind
And start over with a new dream to climb

And a million vacations is what you've got in mind
(I can't wait to get away)
And a million vacations is what you've got in mind

Everyone needs a town a tune a dream to survive on
One to dance to, one to scream to survive on
You need a high a face a space a chance to rely on

'Cause you can only drive down Main street so many times
'Cause you can only drive down Main street so many times

Everyone needs a town a tune a dream to survive on
One to dance to, one to scream to survive on
You need a high a face a space a chance to rely on

'Cause you can only drive down Main street so many times




'Cause you can only drive down Main street so many times
And a million vacations is what you've got in mind

Overall Meaning

The song "A Million Vacations" by Max Webster is a tribute to the American Dream where people work hard during the week in order to escape on weekend vacations to unwind and forget their troubles. The song is about the desire for Friday to arrive quickly, so that people can escape from the daily grind of work and go on night sea journeys to unwind, watch rerun movies and throw out fishing lines. It highlights how people lose all their survival skills and end up living for the weekends. The lyrics suggest that despite all these desires, a million vacations are what people really want to escape their daily lives.


The song also speaks to the importance of one's dreams, the need to dance or scream, to be part of something, to have a high, face, space or a chance to rely on. A town, tune and dream are essential survival tools for everyone on this journey of life. The reality is that you can only drive down Main Street or spend so much time living the same way before a change is needed. In the end, the million vacations are the dream which people truly want in order to escape life's monotony.
